Ok, time to get the program working on all machines.
We have a wireless network, running XpSP2.
So no machine is a designated server. I do use one machine for most of the serious files though, so I plan to call that my server for the purposes of this operation.
The problem, is that although I copy the comman line exactly as it is in the PDF (substituting my computer's name), Windows says the location does not exist. if I remove the "-server servername" all is well. I checked, and I apear to be using the right servername.
Is it possible that because the installation is in the 'shared' directory that there is a problem?

Ok, got the server up and running.
It apparently does not like the program being in the "shared"
directory.

The server started, but the program did not. Do I need to create a separate icon for the program?
I was thinking of putting the servers' icon in the startup directory.
Also, there seems to be no option other than 'emergency shutdown' to close the server operation.
We generally shut the office computers off each night. Will this be an issue?

If i'm running Sesame on the server machine, the tabs for server shut down do not appear in the admin section. The tab does appear on the client
Does the server have to be shut down from a client machine?

Thanks, good idea, I'll be doing that.
What exactly happens in someone shuts down the server machine when the client has a file open. It's gonna happen. 
If all it does is leave the file locked, I can deal with it.

We have no UPS  I guess it's time for some research.

One little problem with this, it costs an extra licence to pull it off, or so it seems.
I have Sesame running on the client machine, and I try to start it on the server, and I get a too many clients warning.
I don't want to use a licence on this machine, as I have one more client to set up.

Hello Bob,

You do not have to have the client on the server running all the time. It is just there so you can bring it up to shut down sesame server rather than walk across the office to another computer bring up sesame there so you can shut down the server.

Hello,

Close down the Sesame Server and all clients that you have open right now.
Restart the Server. Connections should say 0 of 3.  Let us know if it does not.
Go to another computer, one that you are sure can connect.
Bring up a Sesame Client.
Go to the Server Computer.
Server should now say 1 of 3. Let us know if it does not.
Go back to the Same computer.
Bring up another Sesame Client.
Go to the Server Computer.
Server should now say 2 of 3. Let us know if it does not.
Go back to the Same computer.
Bring up another Sesame Client.
Go to the Server Computer.
Server should now say 3 of 3. Let us know if it does not.

If the server does say three of three and you have three clients open on that one computer, then close all three clients.
Check that the server goes back to 0 of 3.
If it does try the steps above on a different computer.

Once you have checked every computer and everything seems fine and the server is back down to 0 of 3 connections.
Bring up Sesame on the first computer
Server should say 1 of 3
Bring up Sesame on the second computer
Server should say 2 of 3
Bring up Sesame on the first computer
Server should say 3 of 3

Let us know where in the steps you are failing to connect.

Even with the other two off, I still get 0 of 1

That did it, and I worked through the rest of the list as well, works perfectly, thanks again!

What icon or batch file did you use to start Sesame Server?

If it was an icon, what is the start in directory for that icon?
If it was a batch file could you post the contents of the batch file here?

-Ray

If your S_conf.cnf file is in the C:\Sesame folder than your batch file will need to be

C:
cd Sesame
Data\sesame.exe -server front_computer

Same problem....slightly different.

Network file was installed by user, not by me.  First time using network pack.  I am working with a remote connecction.  Owner is out of the country for 2 weeks, not available to provide any answers.

Environment:
Server is started on standalone with desktop icon:
C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -server ULTRA:20000:20001
Start In folder is C:\Sesame
C:\Sesame\ folder has a file named s_conf (no extension).

Problem:
When starting server, it only shows 0 of 1, expected to see 0 of 3.  (Not sure what network pack was installed.)
  Starting Client shows 1 of 1, cannot open second user copy.

I tried changing s_conf to s_conf.cnf,  but same result.
Also tried renaming to S_conf.cnf in case it was Case Sensitive.  Same thing.

What obvious thing am I missing?
Why do I see s_conf vs s_conf.cnf?
Did they install incorrectly? (Explorer is set to display extensions).

Have been sent....thanks.

I copied file (.cnf.cnf) from remote system to my XP
You were right, the one I saw with the extension, was really .cnf.cnf extensions.  I copied from .cnf.cnf to .cnf
I am attaching both files.

Looking from WIN98ME to XP the .cnf file does not show the extension, so this view not limited to XP?

Hmmm, when attaching to email, could not do.  Got message that files may not be real links? So I put them both into a Zip file.  Curioser and curiouser.

If on floppy/CD, will not have access at this time.  If in email I may be able to locate it.  Will check later......

What are Quote:
?

Is a one user client pack supposed to allow ONE additional user ABOVE the number already authorized? 

What is a +0 client pack supposed to allow?

Did not know what to expect.

Sent you copies of original s_cnf.cnf and MultiLicense text file that sounds like I should be seeing 0/1/2 of 2 allowing up to 2 concurrent users.

Thanks Ray....

Original file that was in folder must have been corrupted.  I replaced it with the one from the floppy, last one sent to you, and got 0 of 2 right away.  Then was able to start two Clients and got 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 as expected.

Problem solved, thanks.....
