You probably need to guess since you have not provided any context to your question. However, any half decent developer would store that information in the database connected to his/her application.

You have to build logic in your application to handle this scenario.

Simplest solution is track each login (with the time) in a database.
If the user logins from any other location check this table and display a message.

You will need a clean up job to empty this table after some time.

In practice, you probably can't: all you can do is restrict a user from logging in twice.
The problem is that "another place" doesn't help anyone: all the users in a single company are likely to "share" the same IP address so if your user logs in on the ground floor and then takes the elevator to the 34th he will get the same IP address as far as you are concerned.

You can "prevent" double log in, by recording the last login / use time, and checking if he has explicitly logged out, or a period slightly longer than the Session duration has passed before allowing another log in. But really, that's about your limit - you can't rely on users to log out because circumstances can prevent that, such as a power cut or equipment failure so you have to provide a timeout period to let them login again.
