It isn't entirely clear to me what you want to do. A Session CAL can only be used by one user at a time? Do you want to to block tohose session CAL users from opening a second view on the same or another document in their browser?

Hi peter,

As the same you mentioned I want to restrict one session per user.

At the same time the same user is accessing on different environment, only one session is consumed(Ex: IE and IPAD)

How can I restrict it?

[Peter_Cammaert]

No idea really. Those users aren't exactly keeping two  sessions open. The last one will disconnect the first one. If a user moves back to the first session, he/she will get a message about "Disconnected. Restoring server connection" or something, which will immediately disconnect the last session.

Hi peter,

Thanks for your reply.

I just want to restrict the same user from second environment at a same time. I want to continue the same user first environment session instead of session disconnection.

If the user opens a session from his desk/laptop browser and another from an ipad, would that not be two distinct sessions? If so, then I don't believe there is any way of preventing such connections.

What you are trying to do is not possible.  Anytime a user opens a document in a separate browser, it uses a new session CAL.  It doesn't matter if the different browsers are on the same or different computers.

If you open several applications on separate tabs within the same browser, only 1 session CAL is consumed. If you open the same applications in different browser sessions, then a new session CAL is consumed for each.

You are best to recommend users open new documents in a single browser to reduce concurrent session CAL consumption.
