sockets

[Ed Hilovsky]

I paid for a single development license and 5 runtime sockets. That's what
is being shown. I can get five people to run sockets, but even when they
close the called routine it is not releasing it even with a socketclose
statement in it.
What do I need to do to resolve this ?

The license info you posted in the other e-mail shows that you only have a
single socket license.  This means that only one process can use sockets. 
(Though there is no filePro limit on the number of sockets it can use.)
Another process can't use sockets until that program exits.
