Is there a way, or if not could you add the License Company Name to the CMSB Admin page? I work with many different admin sites, usually 2 or 3 silultaneously and sometimes can't remember which one I am on.

I have solved this problem in the past by changing the "Program Name / Titlebar" (at the very top of General Settings.) Another option would be to supply a Header Image URL and add your License Company Name to an image.
I also like to use "Color / Theme" to differentiate between, for example, staging and production environments. You can even add your own colour schemes if necessary!
Does any of this help? Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the great suggestion, but in my case these ideas will not solve my issue.
We use the Program Name/ Title bar and the Header Image for our branding and there just are not enough Themes available... We are currently supporting approximately 30 CMSB sites and are adding about 6 per month. Our support team members constantly have a number of admin pages open on their screens and it gets a bit confusing keeping up with them. I was hoping that the 'License Company Name' could be added on the navigation bar, just above or below the 'My Account | Logoff , Help | License | View Website' links. (see the attached image)

You can add the License Company Name in the admin, above My Account by modifying this file:
/lib/menus/sidebar.php
Open it and right after this , on line 20:
<div id="profile-links">
Add this:
<?php echo $SETTINGS['licenseCompanyName']; ?><br />
This will output the License Company Name. Style as needed.
Notes:
- make a backup first.
- keep records of any modifications made so that you can easily make them again if a future upgrade replaces that file and your changes.
Hope that helps!
