One way to implement appstart is to set up a share on a server that
contains a particular application, such as a word processor, and limit the
number of users to that share to the number of users that your site-
license has for the application.
Appstart also provides these features:
• Application server pools enable you to set up a pool of servers that
can act as viable servers for each application, and appstart will
select one each time a user tries to use an application. In this way,
you can distribute the load.

• Centralized logging enables you to monitor the activity of
applications and shares, and track error conditions.
• Application aliasing enables you to set up a list of command-line
parameters and refer to each with a single name in the icon
command line.
• Centralized APPSTART.INI files enable you to use this feature for
easier administration of appstart installations.
