I have a subscription based website (with a monthly fee) and I would like to prevent users from sharing accounts in order to avoid paying the monthly fee.
Is there a way this can be done?
Cheers,
Mike

The approach with IP is not suitable, because there are users that use the same external ip in order to surf the web. But in some cases it’s a suitable approach(let’s say in an intranet web application for example).
You can monitor the number of concurent sessions for the same login. Than one approach would be to log when more than 1 concurent session is present for the same login. Than you may analyse the logs.
Base on these data you may take some actions. good luck.
