A method for controlling access to a software application running on a server includes providing respective identifiers to a plurality of clients seeking to access the application on the server. A list of the identifiers of the clients who are entitled to access the application is maintained on the server. The list includes a predetermined number of slots. Upon receiving a request submitted by a given client to access the application, the server permits the given client to access the application only if the identifier assigned to the client, which is included in the request, appears on the list or if at least one of the slots on the list is available to receive the identifier.
