SmarterU enables you to detect and prevent simultaneous logins using the same user credentials. For example, if user A is logged into SmarterU and user B attempts to log in using user A's credentials, user A will be logged out and user B will be logged in. 

When you edit your account's settings, the Simultaneous Login Detection accordion of the Account Profile workscreen includes the following settings.
