     Note to Upgraders...

          Version 5.6 of COUNT! is completely backwards compatible with
          prior versions.  Applications set up to run under earlier
          versions of COUNT! will work identically under this release.
          And, licenses granted for prior versions are transferable to
          v5.6

          This version supports Windows 95 Clients and meters both Win95
          and Win 3.x Applications.

          V5.x offers more options for installing applications that you
          can take advantage of.  Specifically, the use of "Stub" files
          can greatly simplify application installation.  The new CountAdm
          utility handles all COUNT!.ini management and provides a GUI
          interface to License and Log files for monitoring applications
          use.

                                  What is COUNT!

     COUNT! is an MS Windows utility that enables you to abide to 
     "simultaneous use" licenses in a network environment.  This type of
     license allows you to provide applications to a user community without
     buying a license for each potential user.  The result is typically an
     80% to 90% reduction in the cost of the application.

     Simultaneous use licenses:
        Unlike mainframe programs that base the fee on the number of
        potential users of a product, personal computer software licenses are
        often based on the number of people using a program at any given
        time.  If the network provides a dozen applications to 50 users, it
        is probable that five to ten licenses for each application will be
        sufficient to meet the needs of the 50 users without purchasing 50
        licenses of each.

        Most major suppliers of personal computer software base their license
        on simultaneous use.  However, many of these (Microsoft for example)
        provide no means for maintaining the license.  Should you wind up in
        court, you are required to provide evidence that adequate precautions
        were taken to ensure that the simultaneous use license was not
        violated.

     What does COUNT! Do:
        COUNT! launches programs in an MS windows environment and keeps track
        of the number of users.  It will enable you to enforce simultaneous
        use licenses.  It also provides features to make many programs that
        function poorly in a network environment behave better.  Finally
        COUNT! provides the network administrator detailed analysis on the
        use of licenses so that an appropriate number can be economically
        purchased to support user needs.

        COUNT! enables a user to access an application as easily as if it
        were installed on his local hard disk.  To do this, it will if
        necessary:

               Establish a network connection
               Modify the current DOS directory
               Check for license availability
               Execute the program
               Free the network license when the program terminates
               Disconnect the network connection

     Supported Network Environments:
        COUNT! runs on Windows client PCs, not servers.  License management
        is achieved through a shared file service. It will therefore work in
        any network environment.  COUNT! has been successfully tested under
        Novell Netware, Banyon Vines, Digital Pathworks, Microsoft
        LanManager,  Windows for Workgroups, and several other Network OS's


                                   COUNT! v5.6
                           Network Administrators Guide
                                      Page 2

                                   Using COUNT!

     An end user needs no special knowledge to use COUNT!  He simply launches
     applications normally through Windows.  A license dialog box appears
     informing him the license is being shared.  If no more licenses are
     available, the dialog box will inform him of that and provide a list of
     current users.

     Setting up applications to run under COUNT! is also straight forward.  A
     network administrator installs the application on the network using the
     vendor's instructions.  You then use the COUNT! Administration utility
     (CountAdm), to replace the application's .EXE file with a "Stub" file
     which runs the program under COUNT!

     In addition to installing Stub Files, the CountAdm utility provides a
     convenient means of monitoring applications usage.  You can easily
     examine the current users and usage history of each application running
     under COUNT!.


                                Installing COUNT!

     The setup program is used to copy all necessary files to a network file
     server.  It will also create a Count Administrator group on your Windows
     desktop if you wish.  The CountAdm program can then be run to set up
     applications to run under COUNT!

     Before running the Setup program, determine where you would like to
     install the various components of COUNT!.  COUNT! and associated program
     and configuration files should be placed in an area where the Network
     administrator has READ/WRITE access and all users have READ access.
     License or Log Files need to be placed in an area where all users have
     READ/WRITE access.  While COUNT! can launch applications without this
     common READ/WRITE user access, its features will be quite limited.

     To run the setup program...
          Make a network connection to the file service you would like to
            install the program to.
          Run COUNT!'s Setup program under Windows.  (i.e., from File Manager
            select File-Run-A:Setup.exe)

     The following files are part of the COUNT! package.  Setup will place
     these in the COUNT! program Directory.

          SETUP.EXE      Installs COUNT! on a Server.


                   Setting Up Applications to Run Under COUNT!

     The easiest way to setup applications to run under COUNT! is to use
     "Stub" files.  Simply install the application according to the vendor's
     directions on the server and each client.  Then install a Stub file to
     launch the application through COUNT!

     CountAdm will automatically install stub files by replacing an
     applications executable file (i.e. EXCEL.EXE) with a Stub file of the
     same name.  The original application file is renamed.  The Stub file
     executes the main COUNT! program which in turn executes the original
     application.  This may sound a bit "round about", but it is very
     efficient, and greatly simplifies application installation.

     To install Stub files with CountAdm, You will need Read/Write Access to
     the network directory where the application has been installed.  You
     will also need Read/Write access to the Applications' .EXE file.  Select
     Install-Add Application Stub File from CountAdm's Main Menu.  Specify
     the Application exe file you want to create a stub file for (i.e.
     EXCEL.exe) and press OK.

     CountAdm will create an entry for the Application in COUNT!.ini using
     the name of the exe file (i.e. EXCEL).  It will also rename the original
     exe file by placing an "!" at the end (i.e. EXCEL!.exe)  You can modify
     these names by pressing the Advanced button and editing the defaults.

     After creating the stub file, use CountAdm to change the settings in
     COUNT!.ini to define the methods used to launch the application and
     control license counts.

     The stub file method has been successfully tested with numerous
     applications.  However, if you encounter problems, see Appendix A.

     COUNT! also creates COUNT!.ini files in each application directory.
     These are not the same as the one in the COUNT! program directory.
     Their job is to help the Stub file communicate with the COUNT! program.

                        Controlling Access to Applications

     There are two ways to use COUNT! to enforce simultaneous use licenses.
     One method is to put each application you want to control access to in a
     unique network file service, and place a limit on the number of
     connections to this service.  COUNT! could then connect to the service
     before starting the program, and disconnect when done. The server
     enforces the license counting/metering.  However, not all networks
     permit a usage count on a file service/directory.

     In the second method, COUNT! uses a License file to monitor the number
     of users.  You set the Maximum number of users for each application via
     the CountAdm Utility. Simply modify the Maximum users setting in the
     Set-up-Applications Dialog.  If a License file is specified under
     License/Log File Setup for a given Application, COUNT will use this
     method to control access.

     You can also use both methods simultaneously.  This provides maximum
     security, friendlier user error messages, and more complete applications
     use information.

     If a License file is used, A DOS environment variable must exist prior
     to entering Windows which provides a user name.  The UserName must be
     unique to each network node.  It is typically assigned in a the
     Autoexec.Bat or Network Startup File using the DOS SET command as
     follows:

          "SET Name=UserName"

     The default "Name" environment variable may be changed in the defaults
     Dialog of CountAdm.  The maximum name length is 20 characters.

     When using a License file, COUNT! checks the number of current users
     each time someone attempts to run an application.  If no licenses are
     available, access is denied, and the list of license holders is
     displayed.  Otherwise, the application is launched and an entry is added
     to the License file similar to the one below:

          [MS Project]
          John Doe=09:33:27 02/12/92

     The timestamp is updated periodically, and is removed when the user
     exits the application.


                           Multiple Instance Management

     Windows enables a user to run multiple copies of an application
     simultaneously as long as the application itself permits this.  COUNT!
     fully supports this feature and will only reserve a single network
     license for each user workstation no matter how many instances of the
     program are running.  CountMgr.DLL manages this activity as necessary.
     Network connections made when the first instance of an application is
     launched will be maintained as long as at least one instance of the
     application is active.

                             Scrubbing License Files

     License files require periodic maintenance to remove inactive licenses.
     Licenses become inactive when applications are terminated abnormally,
     such as rebooting the PC while the application is in use.  When this
     occurs, the license file entry for that user is not freed until that
     same user runs and exits the application again.

     A supplemental program, SCRUB.EXE, is supplied which automatically
     removes inactive licenses.  COUNT! will start SCRUB whenever a user is
     denied access to an application for lack of an available license.

     SCRUB works by examining the License file, waiting a specified time and
     then reexamining it.  If the license entries are not updated in that
     time, they are assumed to be inactive and removed.  By default SCRUB
     waits for the UpdateLicense interval+1 minute.  The extra minute allows
     for programs which might take total control of the PC for some period of
     time.  For instance, If Excel takes several minutes to recalculate a
     spreadsheet, it may not allow COUNT! to update the License File during
     that period.  (Windows 3.x is Not Pre-emptive.)

     If you feel 1 minute is not sufficient, you can override this by
     specifying a larger interval in CountAdm.  An interval less than
     UpdateLicense + 1 minute will be ignored.  A interval of 0 will disable
     Scrubbing for the specified application.

     When SCRUB is running, an Icon identifying the time remaining will be
     displayed on the Windows Desktop.

     As mentioned, COUNT! will automatically run SCRUB when a user is denied
     access to an application due to lack of an available license.  In
     addition, a Network Administrator may want to periodically run SCRUB,
     perhaps placing it in his/her Windows startup group.  You can also run
     SCRUB from CountAdm.

     If SCRUB is run without any parameters, it will scrub the License File
     of all applications.  You can also scrub an individual application by
     including it as a parameter on SCRUB's command line.  (i.e. "SCRUB
     MS_Excel")

                                     LogFiles

     LogFiles provide valuable information to the network administrator on
     how licenses are being used for each application, and by whom.  It is
     highly recommended that you use LogFiles for each application to:

          Keep track of the average time an application is used.
          The typical number of licenses in use at any time.
          The number of times a license has been denied.
          The use by Individual.

     Since these files can be rather large, it is recommended that a separate
     file be used for each application.

     While you can use Log Files without License Files, the log information
     will be somewhat limited if you do so.  Viewing information in License
     and Log files can be accomplished using CountAdm.

                                Registering COUNT!

     COUNT! is copyrighted software and all rights are reserved by the
     author.  You are free to evaluate the product for 30 days to determine
     its suitability to your needs.  Use beyond 30 days requires
     registration.

     Anyone with the conscience to use COUNT! will want to register it.  A
     license to COUNT! enables you copy and use the software on a single
     server for up to 100 Users.  (Versions with higher user limits are
     available)  The cost of the license is $79.  If you would like to
     register, please fill out the form on the last page of this manual.

     In return, you will be sent a diskette with a registered version of the
     software.


                         Transferring a License to COUNT!

     Upon registering, you will receive a license number.  To license the
     software, you will need Read/Write access to the directory where
     COUNT!.EXE is located.  From Windows Program Manager, use "File Run" and
     place in the command Line "Drive:\Path\COUNT!.EXE /L".

     Alternatively, you can use the CountAdm menu function Install-Transfer
     License.

     You will prompted you for your company and server name.  You are limited
     to a total of 50 characters, so you may have to abbreviate.  If the name
     appears truncated in the main dialog box, you can reinstall the license.

             Applications Installation and License Metering Problems


     Should you encounter problems using the Stub files installed with the
     CountAdm utility, the following information may be helpful.

     First, some applications will not work properly if their .EXE file has
     been renamed.  If this occurs, you can try renaming all of the files in
     the application directory with the same base name as the original
     application to the base name of the renamed .EXE file.  (i.e. rename
     MisApp.DLG to MisApp!.DLG)  If this fails, you may have to resort to
     using COUNT! without stub files.  (See Appendix B).  If you need to
     uninstall a stub file, the CountAdm utility will do this automatically.

     There is another situation where COUNT! has difficulty metering
     applications licenses.  If a Windows application's primary (loading)
     executable file terminates before the application does, COUNT! has no
     way of knowing when the program ends.  Only one major application to
     date has been found which does this..  WordPerfect for Windows.

     In such circumstances, Monitoring a secondary Exec may help.  Monitoring
     a secondary Exec will impact performance needlessly in most cases and
     therefore should only be used when metering Problem Applications.

     If you believe you have such an Application, the GetWnds program
     provided with COUNT! can help you identify the primary Exec file.  This
     Application will list all Program Modules currently running and their
     associated window titles.  In the case of WordPerfect (v5.1), you will
     find that the program loading executable WPwin.exe does some
     initialization work and then launches the Main executable WPwinFile.Exe.

     Once you've isolated the main executable, include its file specification
     on the Monitor Secondary Exec line in COUNTADM's Setup-Applications
     Dialog.

     COUNT! will check whether this file is running after the Launching EXE
     file terminates.  If it is, COUNT! will monitor this Windows Application
     instead of the original.

     The file specification for the monitored Exec can include a path, but
     often shouldn't.  If a path is included, the Exec must have been loaded
     from the specified path.  If you don't care about the path of the
     secondary Exec, exclude it and it will be ignored.

                                   Appendix B:
                         Using COUNT! Without Stub Files

     The COUNT! Command Line:
        COUNT! runs applications defined in the COUNT!.ini file passed on its
        command line.  For instance, to launch Microsoft's Excel, the command
        line could be "COUNT!  MS_Excel".  To launch Aldus' Persuasion, the
        command line could be "COUNT!  Persuasion".  COUNT! then does
        everything necessary to make appropriate network connections, start
        the application, and enforce software licenses.

        To use the command line, you will need to be familiar with the
        methods Windows uses to launch applications.  The most common method
        is for the user to "double click" on an application icon in a Program
        Manager group.  The second is to use the file manager to launch an
        application with a selected data file.  A third is to launch the
        application using the Program Manager's "Run command".

     Supporting Applications Launched via a Program Manager Application Icon:
        You will need to modify the vendor supplied installation procedure to
        modify the icon's "properties" to use COUNT! to launch the program.
        The application icon program line properties can be changed using the
        following procedure:

           In Program Manager, select the program icon by clicking on it once
           with the mouse.

           Select File-Properties, from the Program Manager's menu.  A
           "Program Item Properties" dialog box should appear.

           Change the command line in the dialog box to launch the program
           through COUNT!  i.e.  "COUNT!.exe MS_Excel".

           You should also change the icon to the application's normal icon,
           which is typically in the main .EXE file of the application.  This
           is also done from the "Program Item Properties" dialog box. Press
           the "Change Icon" button and type in the file name containing the
           Icon (i.e. E:\EXCEL\EXCEL.EXE)

           The Program .EXE file may not be available to Windows if the
           network drive is not currently connected.  In this case you can
           substitute an icon from PROGMAN.EXE or MORICONS.DLL.  You could
           also use a 3rd party utility to extract an icon from an
           application .EXE file, and make the icon file available to
           Windows.

     Supporting Applications Launched via File Manager:
        You need to modify the "[extensions]" section of WIN.ini to associate
        COUNT! with the extension of data files your program runs.  Again,
        you must supply a command line such as "XLT=COUNT!.exe MS_Excel
        ^.xlt".  Modifying Windows .INI files can be automated by using the
        Fix_INI! program which can be found in the utilities subdirectory of
        the COUNT! program disk

     Supporting Applications Launched via Program Manager's Run Command:
        The user would have to enter a correct COUNT! command Line in Program
        Manager's "RUN" dialog box.

                                   Appendix C:
              How COUNT!.ini Controls the Launching of Applications

     The COUNT!.ini file controls what COUNT! does in launching an
     application.  COUNT!.ini is created and maintained with the CountAdm
     utility.  However, it can also be modified using any ASCII editor, such
     as notepad.  It consists of a number of applications "Sections"
     containing keywords describing how to launch the application.  Each
     section begins with the ApplicationName in square brackets.  You can use
     any ApplicationName you like so long as it is less than 32 Characters.
     Keywords can be any of the following:
        ConnectDrive=Drive:,Network_Path,Password
           (Only Windows 3.1 and above support this command.  You can use
           "Connect" to support Windows 3.0)  The Password is optional.
           However, the comma separator must be included.  You can use "*" as
           the Password and the User will be prompted to provide one.  If The
           Drive and Network service are already in use, this command is
           ignored.  Network Drives which are connected with this command are
           Disconnected when the user exits the application unless
           DisConnectDrive=No.
        DisConnectDrive=Yes or No.
        Connect=Network connection command (you would issue at a DOS prompt.)
           The Connect and Disconnect KeyWords are provided to support
           Windows 3.0, or for Networks incompatible with Windows 3.1 network
           management features.
        Disconnect=Network disconnection command
        StartDirectory=Starting directory.
           This will override any directory specified in the property's of a
           Program Manager Icon.
        Execute=Program invocation command.
        Monitor=Secondary Exec to Monitor.  See Appendix A.
        CountFile=R/W file (License file) which holds the current users for
        each application.
        LogFile=R/W file which tracks license use for the application.
        MaxUsers=Number of users that can use the program simultaneously.
        MaxTime=Number of minutes of program use before COUNT! reminds the
           user to free the application license.
        UpdateLicense=Number of minutes between updates of the License File.
           The default is 5.  A 0 inhibits updates.
        SkipLicenseMessage=Yes or No. If, Yes, COUNT! bypasses its initial
           dialog informing the user of the licensing activity and
           immediately launches the application.  The default is No.

            All KeyWords other than Execute are optional.

                                   Appendix D:
                     Installing Non-Network Software Versions

     Most software available today installs easily in network environments.
     However, you will occasionally run into an application that does not
     offer a network version, or one which will not install properly on your
     network.  In such situations, you can often install the software for
     network use with the following procedure.

     From a client PC, provide Write access to the Network drive you would
     like the application installed upon, giving it the same DOS drive letter
     the user will eventually see it as.  You may also need to provide Write
     access to the Windows directory on the server if Windows is being shared
     over the network.

     Install the software to a network drive using the vendor's instructions
     with the following exceptions.

        1) Copy the client's WIN.ini and System.Ini files as Win.OLD and
          System.OLD.  Also copy the Autoexec.Bat and Config.Sys files.

        2) Make copies of the client's Windows and System Directory listings
          and the server's Window system directory if appropriate
          (i.e. DIR c:\Windows >Win.Dir).

        3) Install the Software.

        4) Compare the .INI files and directories to the original saved
          versions.  (i.e. FC Win.OLD Win.ini).  Note any changes.
          Typically, these changes are entries added to the [Extensions]
          section of WIN.ini, applications sections added to WIN.ini, and
          perhaps a few DLLs added or updated in the Windows System
          Directory.  Many applications change the Path variable in the
          Autoexec.Bat file.  In most cases, this change is not required.

        5) Make these same changes on each client PC that will run the
          application by copying or editing files.  Fix_ini!.Com and
          Patch!.Com are very useful utilities in automating this process.
          They can be found in the utilities subdirectory of the COUNT!
          program disk

        6) If the REG.DAT file in the windows directory on the client PC was
          modified, some special attention is required.   REG.DAT's primary
          purpose is to support OLE and Drag/Drop capabilities.  To provide
          this, the application must be registered in REG.DAT of each client.
          You cannot simply copy the revised REG.DAT file to each client.
          First check the application directory for an Application.REG file.
          If it exists, simply RUN it from Program Manager on each client PC.
          If the application does not have a .REG file, you will need to
          examine how the installation procedure modified the REG.DAT file
          (using RegEdit.EXE) and manually make the changes on other clients.

                                   Appendix E:
                                  User Messages

     There are a few messages COUNT! passes to the user that a Network
     Administrator needs to be aware of.  These may be modified using
     Count!Adm's Setup-User Messagers option.

        "Please release this LICENSE to the application when you are finished
        'so that others may use the program!"  This is the standard opening
        window message.

        "All Licenses for this application are currently in use!"  A user
        will get this message when all licenses set by the MaxUsers parameter
        are in use.  They will also get a list box identifying users so they
        can try to free up a license on their own.

        "CANNOT WRITE TO LICENSE FILE.  Your license to this application has
        been LOST!"  Through a network error or user access rights violation,
        the License file could not be maintained.  It should be looked into
        by the Network Administrator.

        "You have exceeded the recommended time limit for this application
        and are reminded to free this license when you are finished so that
        others may use the program."  A user will get this message if he uses
        the program beyond the MaxTime variable.

     The remaining messages should not normally be seen by a user, but may
     arise in setting up applications to run under COUNT!

        "Could Not Connect (to Drive)"  A network Error caused by an
        incorrect DOS drive or Network file service specification in
        COUNT!.ini, or unidentifiable network connection problem.

        "Drive In Use on Different Service"  A failure to connect to the
        requested network service in COUNT!.ini because the requested Drive
        is already being used for a different network service.  You should
        not set up two network applications to share a DOS drive letter for
        different file services.

        "Could Not Execute"  Execution of the application failed.  Most often
        this is caused by an error in COUNT!.ini or perhaps a DOS PATH Error.

        "Could Not Find COUNT!.ini"  COUNT!.ini is not in the same
        subdirectory as COUNT!.EXE.

        "Count Not Load CountMgr.DLL"  CountMgr.DLL is not in the same
        subdirectory as COUNT!.EXE.

        "No Application Specified"  No ApplicationName was specified on the
        COUNT! Command Line.

        "No Program to Execute in COUNT!.ini"  No "Execute=" was included.

        "Name Environment Variable Not Defined!"  You MUST have a Name
        Environment variable defined if you are using a License File.

     The following two messages should not normally be seen by a user.  They
     are generated by Stub program files.

        "Could Not Find COUNT!.ini in Stub Directory"  When CountAdm creates
        a stub file, it also creates a COUNT!.ini file in the same directory.
        Through some mechanism, this file has been deleted or is inacessible.

        "Could Not Find COUNT!.exe"  The Stub file could not find COUNT!.exe
        in the directory specified in the Stub's COUNT!.ini file.  Either the
        Directory entry has been changed, or the COUNT! program renamed or
        deleted.

                              Un-Installing COUNT!

     Removing COUNT! from your network is a simple procedure.  COUNT! does 
     not modify registration databases, or win.ini, system.ini, autoexec.bat 
     or config.sys files of client or administrator PCs.

     COUNT! can be uninstalled using the following procedure:

          1) Using CountAdm, remove any stub files you may have created to 
             launch applications under COUNT!

          2) If Icons were created on user desktops which launch the 
             COUNT! program directly rather than through stub files, modify 
             these to launch the application instead.

          3) Delete any Log or License files that may have been created by 
             the program.

          4) If COUNT! was installed in its own subdirectory, remove the 
             entire subdirectory.  Otherwise, Delete COUNT! program files 
             identified on page 3 of this document.

          5) Delete the COUNT! Administrator Group from any PCs that may 
             be running the Administration Program.
