Hello!
I need to activate one exe program from one computer (server) on another computer (it has to be activate on that second computer). Can I do that. If so, how? (maybe with some client server applicatin, but I think that will not be the solution becouse I want to activate any exe program on another computer)
Thank you!

Emica,
1. Create a share on the other computer to make it accessible to others.
2. Map a drive to the computer using computer name and share name.
3. Shell to any exe within the computer's share.

Sorry Wade, all of those will cause execution to happen on the calling computer. You could create an ActiveX Exe that has a method that takes the path of an executable that remains on the server and shells it from there.....that would cause execution on the server of any app, you just need to have this ActiveX EXE set up.

My mistake...didn't realize you wanted activation FROM the other computer as well.
Could you alternatively download the program in the logon script and have it timer-activated...though I'm sure ActiveX is the best way.
