Thanks Pradeep. I tried using Photoshop CC, but with only 16 gb ram it can't handle auto align of a stack of 10 96 mp images without freezing up. I could align the images before increasing resolution 200%, but not very good results.Thanks Carl, this is very interesting. However, PhotoAcute is no longer for sale, a new version is planned from what I read on their website. The current one is quite dated - no profile for newer cameras from Sony or their lenses. I wonder how this technique would compare with the super-resolution process through Photoshop with stacked layers and median filter - which BTW also removes moving objects unless there are too many of them so you do not see the subject behind clearly on any frame.
There is yet another technique being developed which can enhance a single image - hard to plan and shoot multiple all the time, plus this allows older photographs to be 'improved'.

I guess this is why the Japanese government issued a warning to its citizens - do not have your picture taken with your hands up in the air - somebody could clone your fingerprints!
Edit: I tried again using smaller files from my A6000M and it worked fine , but still slow in alignment stage. Sequence in Photoshop CC was to first import the ARW files into a stack, convert to grayscale, re-size stack files by 200%, auto align (this is the very slow step), convert to smart object, enable Median stack option, and finally export tiff file.
Example (50%):
