All you need is a service on a server that is accessible to all client machines. This service would access some kind of data storage system that would store information on connected users, and apply limiting rules as to your requirements. Your application would then connect to this service whenever it is opened, and if there is a valid license, it would allow the user to continue.

Hope this helps

what you mean service like third party api or web services?

A Windows Communication Service (WCF) would probably be the best bet. This could then be hosted in a variety of different ways on the server i.e IIS, stand alone application, windows service etc.
