SiteLock Incorrectly Assumes More People Accessing Program (85890)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q85890 SYMPTOMS
When you run Windows version 3.1 on a Novell network running Brightworks'
SiteLock version 3.2 or earlier, if you view the properties (by choosing
Properties from the File menu in Program Manager) of a SiteLock-monitored
program, then SiteLock thinks the program is being run. This causes
SiteLock to incorrectly assume more people are accessing the program then
really are.
WORKAROUND
After setting up the icon for the program, exit Windows and restart the
computer. In the future, avoid checking or changing program item
properties without restarting the computer afterwards.
Brightworks Development is currently researching this problem.
MORE INFORMATION
SiteLock is a Novell NetWare network terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR)
program used to regulate the number of users of a monitored program so
that license agreements for the monitored program are not violated.
For example, if you have a 20-user license for version 4.0 of Excel
for Windows, you would configure SiteLock to only allow 20 users to
access it at any given time. When you select Properties from Program
Manager's File menu for EXCEL.EXE, and then choose OK, SiteLock
registers this action as running the program, and will assume the
program is running.

vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
