OK, this is a similar question to this.

Actually I am trying to prevent people from multiple login into one single computer and use my application simultaneously.

This is because I want to stop them from buying one license, install it on a machine, and use certain remote desktop technologies to do multiple user login. I want to prevent them from violating the license agreement.

Is there anyway that I can do in my application for this? Or is multiple login simultaneously is simply not possible?
