How can I make sure that a workspace only runs if it has an ArcInfo license available? That is - I want to check out the license before running the workspace (For instance in the python-script) ?
Not sure if this approach GUARANTEES that the license will not be used by someone else between the startup script and after a long processing (1 hour) starting the writer?

Here is another way to check out a specific ArcGIS license:
try:
import arcinfo
except:
print "No ArcInfo license available"
Note that you will have to use the Python interpreter that was installed with ArcGIS for this to work, it will normally be something like C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\python26.dll if you're on a 64-bit OS.

Your short script
try:
import arcinfo
print "ArcInfo license available"
except:
print "No ArcInfo license available"
does not fail - but does not print anything either (I guess it also needs the Arcgis python-interpreter.)
