Network Licensing Business Models

Network licenses are designed for a network environment, in which the vendor’s software is run by multiple end users or on multiple workstations. In such an environment, a single Sentinel protection key can be used to protect and monitor usage of the vendor’s software across the network. Network licenses can be implemented in conjunction with other licensing business models such as component-based or metering. A network license can be concurrency-based, site-specific, or both.
