Create a user active session control

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to limit the number of active sessions that a logged in user can have.

Solution:

Unfortunately we are not able to assist with this since it is not a part of what our plugins can do and would require custom code to achieve.

However I was doing some searching and was able to find this plugin here.

I need to control the number of active sessions opened by the same user. (On different browsers)

I have created a post type called "sessions" and two fields on this called "usuario" and "active_session".

What I want is to create a new "session" entry, each time a user logs in to the website like this:
-> usuario: 6 active_sessions: 1

And then, delete the last entry, each time the users with the user_id=6 logs out.

Then, I will add all the entries with the same user id with a view and compare that value with another stored on a custom field. If it is greater than that value I will redirect the user to a page telling him to close one of the other sessions to continue...

I was expecting to use the wp_login and wp_logout hook to to this, bu t I don't know how to create the code to make it works.
Can you help me to do something like this?

Thanks in advance!

I tried this plugin before asking for support, but it doesn't worked for me.
I will find other solution.
Thanks!
