Overview
Novell
®
Licensing Services (NLS) that ships with NetWare
®
6 supports the
User Access License (UAL) model. User objects gain access to network
services by connecting to the network instead of to servers. These User objects
receive a permanent license unit that allows them to access network services
at any time and from any workstation attached to the network.
For information on NLS concepts and how NLS works, see “Understanding
Novell Licensing Services” on page 9.
For information on the User Access Model, see User Access Licensing for
NetWare.
When you install or upgrade to NetWare, the server installation software
automatically installs NLS, but not the license certificates. You must install
the license certificates either during the installation or at a later time.
For information on installing or upgrading NLS, see “Installing Novell
Licensing Services” on page 21.
License certificates enable users to access network resources, including
NetWare servers. Typically, the server installation program installs license
certificates for NetWare and other selected NLS-enabled products. You can
use iManage, Novell’s browser-based management tool, to install additional
license certificates and to manage license units for NLS-enabled products.
You can also create metered certificates and then use ZENworks
TM
to manage
applications that are not NLS-enabled.
To set up and configure iManage to install and maintain licensing, see
iManage 1.0 and iMonitor 1.5 for Novell eDirectory 8.6 for more information.

Services” on page 31.
