Well, what kinda server(I don't know if it's FTP, LAN, ect...) is it? And what kinda software? (i.e. CD-KEY needed software)

mostly depends on the application

some apps can be shared from terminal services if I remember right.. MS Office apps I believe can be done this way.

Some applications are designed to be shared.. some have to run locally.

I've had bad experieces with webex. Behind some proxies it doesn't work. Other times it just drops connections for no appearent reason.

The concept is nice. Basically a remote control service over HTTP interface. I've had it work well a few times but, it isn't cheap either.

I would guess that the software would have to be designed to run from a server on multiple client PCs. My company is using a Human Resources program that runs off a Win2k server. But it does not use terminal services. The main part of the program is on the server but each workstation that accesses the program has a client package loaded. So, each client can see the same info that the other clients see.
