Network Licenses

Network licenses allow you to use a license that is being shared by a license server on your

network to authorize compatible protected software on your computer. This portion of the manual

covers how to conﬁgure your computer to use licenses being shared on your network.

In order to use a shared license, you will need the following:

•

A networked computer.

•

A version of the protected software that can be authorized by a shared network license (this

might not be the same version of the software that you use with a personal license.)

•

For Private Servers, you will need information about the server from the Server Administrator.

There is a glossary at the end of this document that deﬁnes selected terms used in this document.

How Network Licenses Work

A license server can share special types of licenses across a network to other computers who

need to authorize the protected software to run.

In the illustration above, the license server with the iLok plugged into it is serving up a license

across the network, and 4 computers are each using 1 of the available 25 seats.
