I have a system installed on Unix with 96 PRO-IV licenses for 24 users which each being able to log in 4 times. The problem I am having is that the Unix server that I am running the system on allows only 30 log in sessions at the same time. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to start a new PRO-IV session without the need to log in to Unix again.
Thanks in advance.

milad_sa,
There are ways to do this, but I think that your problem lies elsewhere.
I suspect that you may have a large number of zombie (or dead) sessions
Try doing ps -edaf | grep pro to see how many pro processes are running. This is a more reliable way to see what is actually happening regarding proiv licenses.
hth,

Assuming that I'm reading correctly, that it is Unix licenses giving you the issue...
You'd need a multi-screen utility such as "screen" (I believe is free, but don't know details) or "facetterm" which is not cheap. There are likely others too.

Pure opinion, not based on fact.
I'd expect, that if the multi-screen is windows clientside, not Unix server-side, it would have to create multiple telnet sessions and logins to do it i.e. no different than opening multiple instances of your chosen terminal emulator or mfc client.

SCO User License:
Licensing additional users
The system determines the number of simultaneous users by counting the number of individual login processes -- including telnet and rlogin sessions -- that are running. Each login process counts as a user, even if multiple logins are initiated by the same login account.
If the number of allowable users, as determined by your Additional Users license, is exceeded, additional logins (including telnet and rlogin sessions) are denied until one of the current login sessions is ended.

I can't see a way of getting around this!

Yes, if you're interested in the GUIIs there a multi-screen program which you can run under windows, to connect to the Unix server?
If you're running an X server on your windows machine AND on the Unix machine, you can run a complete desktop as though you were sat in front of the Unix server. You might have network traffic issues and you definitely need to read up on security if you do this, but I use it at work (I don't use Windows at home any more)
I've used "Reflection X" and "Exceed" as the Windows X server, with not much fuss. I think Cygwin does the same, but I've not tried it. A quick google for XDMCP will get you the technical details.
The reason I mention it is that if you are running a GUI desktop, you have only logged in once, and everything you do from there is a subprocess.
Of course, this doesn't affect Pro-IV licenses, and I don't know if SCO would count each process you are running under the GUI as a login (I'm a penguin user - no license limit)
