One way would be to use a middle-tier server that your application
uses to connect to Firebird. This way you can control the number of
connections to the middle-tier.

Another way is to have a session manager application on the server.
Your application would connect to it to try to create a session, if
the limit has already been reached, then no sessions is created and
your application wouldn't continue. This is the schema that we are
currently contemplating to manage the licences for the next version of
our software.

Use the ISO8859_1 character set.
