Yes, I've seen this issue (of multiple connection-licences being taken-up by
one computer) many times when mappings are being created manually in
Explorer, or from 'Network Places.'

The solution is to create all connections from a batch file, with NET USE
commands. (Or use system-calls from within a program) I think the reason this
avoids the problem is that it ensures the same credentials are used each
time.
