Lets say you have eight licenses for an application(visio), how do you limit
only eight sessions on Win. terminal server 2003.
Any help will be great.

thanks,
 
There's no buyild-in feature in TS that does this for you, but
there are several possible ways to go:

1) install the application on a separate network share, and make
sure that all users run the application from that share (even if
the shared folder is located on the TS), i.e. with
\\server\app_share\my_app.exe
You can limit concurrent connections to network shares.

2) use a job that runs continuously in the background, which
checks the number of users of the application:
