    I'm interested in using some Mac App Store software (software that's not available to be licensed separately, such as, for example, Final Cut Pro X) in the computer labs I administer. What are my options for managing licenses?

    Mac App Store software can be installed on up to five machines. One way you could set everything up is to split your computers into groups of five and make an Apple account for each group, then buy Final Cut (or whatever software you want) on each account, set up each group of computers with its account and install Final Cut on all of them.

    I was able to login from another computer, used top to view the PID for the game, and then issued a kill command. Is there an easier way to recover without having to reboot the system?

    Try CMD-Option-Esc
    Normally, that will bring the force quit dialog to the front and allow you to kill anything.

    I assume the killing didnt work and that is why you rebooted?

    try kill -9 [pid]
