How to accept only 1 elementclient opened per 1PC?

[letanduy]

Any idea? I want to fix my client only opened one at the same time? Or any way to accept user login 1 account? I use iptables to accept 1 account per IP but they can user VPN, Proxy to login more.
Thanks!

How about if we change the name of "elementclient.exe" to "abc.xyz" and use C# to create new application named elementclient.exe
So we can using C# code to validate how many processes are running in our system to allow or deny it
After that we will rename "abc.xyz" to "abc.exe" and run it.

- you spend days coming up with a smart protection
- some people bypass it anyway (VM/remote desktop/you name it)
- some other legit player gets false-positive error because you missed something in your code
- no profit

Forget about it. If there's profit or fun in something then just plain forbidding it is usually a bad solution.
