Note: Use the Active Workstations window to see who is accessing the company file

If you wish to see if other users are accessing the company file or if you wish to know how many workstations are currently able to access the company file, open the Active Workstations window under the File menu. This window lists the User IDs of the users accessing the company file. The total number of workstations licenses is also displayed.
