Hi

ThinApp itself be default has no features to handle such functionalities.

In general, ThinApp is 'just' a way to deploy an application easily without installation and shielding the local system from changes/interactions by providing sandbox functionality.

It is possible however to 'build' such a functionality using the scripting (or better, the code API introduced with 4.5). There are some examples from people that did similar on this forum, but don't expect a fully integrated solution with management console.

Also View is not intended for such purposes. You should realy look for some desktop management tools. We (the company I work for) have good experiences with the RES productrange (desktop manager for start menu / your desired 'licensing'/concurent user limitation feature and provisioning manager for deployment). Also Quest provides such functionalities (and sory for all those out there i missed).

Sorry I don't have a 'yes, just do X' solution for you...

Kind regards,

Theike is right that we can make this happen with the help of our vb-script support within ThinApp. Just want to highlight a great product called SoftwareKey (http://www.softwarekey.com/) who integrates into ThinApp packages and can offer this of the shelf.
