New Logon:
Security ID: domain\xxx$
Account Name: xxx$
Account Domain: domain
Logon ID: 0x3xxxxx
Logon GUID: {d6b890ca-2b2b-afb0-e306-b be9b5699fe 3}

Fine. Set the Audit on the executable and make some tests and you'll see entries in the Security Log as well.
By default the level of logging does not tell you much so you may have to increase that in the GPO for that server.
Unfortunately you will not get the answer i think you are seeking as, i know because i have been there, but you will be able to provide an approximate answer to the powers that be.

You can enable auditing on the domain level by using Group Policy to check user activity in particular time period :
Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Audit Policy
Create a logon script on the required domain/OU/user account with the following content :
echo %date%,%time%,%computernam e%,%userna me%,%sessi onname%,%l ogonserver % >> \\SERVER\SHARENAME$\LOGON. LOG
Create a logoff script on the required domain/OU/user account with the following content:
echo %date%,%time%,%computernam e%,%userna me%,%sessi onname%,%l ogonserver % >> \\SERVER\SHARENAME$\LOGOFF .LOG

That depends on the application and if it isn't provided by the application you can set an Audit on the executable or on the folder "hosting" the executable.
