What is Network Licensing?

Network licensing is based on client/server architecture, where licenses are placed on a centralized system in the subnet. On this computer, the Sentinel RMS License Manager must be running to serve license requests received from clients.

The main difference between activating software that uses a network license rather than a standalone license is that the license code must reside on the system where the License Manager runs. This may not necessarily be the system where client application will be used.

For network licenses, you may be required to provide a locking code for the system where the License Manager will run.
