By default TN3270 Plus does not limit the number of times it can be started. You can limit the number of times TN3270 Plus can be started (instances) by adding the following DWORD registry entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SDI\TN3270 Plus\Configuration\MaxInstances
and setting it to the maximum number of instances you wish to allow. When the maximum number of instances is reached an attempt to start another instance results in the most recently started instance being brought to the foreground. If the value is set to zero, TN3270 Plus will not start. If the value is set to –1, unlimited instances are allowed.
