OK, I would love to,  the reason I did not was for fear of wasting
peoples time with basic stuff... I ended up doing it a bit differently

what I am doing is using pyro to make a package that can be run on PCs
to control how many PC on a network are running a piece of software,the
function

    def a_d(self,software,mac):
        global d_software
        d_software[software][0].append(mac)
        return d_software

is in the module on the pyro server.  When this object is used on the
client it adds the clients mac address to the dictionary list.  When
another client is runs the software being watched it checks how many
are already running by counting the number of mac addresses already in
there.  If the number of PCs already running the software is below the
number allowed, which is set in the pyro module it is allowed to
continue to run it.  If the limit has been reached the client software
kills the software,  Below is the client and the pyro module...

Client

import wmi
import time
import Pyro.core
c = wmi.WMI()
o=Pyro.core.getAttrProxyForURI('PYRONAME://:Default.test')
for interface in c.Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration (IPEnabled=1):
#  print interface.Description, interface.MACAddress
  for ip_address in interface.IPAddress:
     mac = interface.MACAddress
mac = 1
current_time = time.time()
sw = "notepad.exe"

#o.a_d(sw, mac, current_time, "Maybe More Extra Stuff too")

while 1:
        time.sleep(1.0)
        ps_li=[]
        for process in c.Win32_Process ():
#    print process.ProcessId, process.Name
            ps_li += [process.Name]

        if sw in ps_li:
            if len(o.r_d()[sw][0]) != 0:
                if mac in o.r_d()[sw][0]:
                    print "Already in there"
                else:
                    #ps_id = ps_li.index(sw)
                    if len(o.r_d()[sw][0]) < o.r_l()[sw]:
                        o.a_d(sw, mac)
                        print "There are some"
                        print o.r_d()

                    else:
                        print "There are none"
                        for process in c.Win32_Process ():
                            if process.Name == "notepad.exe":
                                print process.ProcessId, process.Name
                                result = process.Terminate ()
                                print process.Name +" has been killed"
            else:
                    o.a_d(sw, mac)
                    print "First in"
        else:
              print sw + " not running"
