Subnet

A license may be keyed to be used on a specific network class or a list of specific networks.

A workstation license has a subnet mask of +.+.+.+. This means that only the local machine that the license is installed on may run the software.

The + represents the network portion of the address.

A floating license may have different types of subnets.

  • class C = +.+.+.* (eg. 192.168.5 network)

  • class B = +.+.*.* (eg. 192.168 network)

  • list of specific networks (eg. 192.168.*.*, 10.1.*.* etc)

By default, Class C masked keys are issued unless specified otherwise.

Class A (+.*.*.*) licenses are normally not issued. Please speak with your Account Manager.

Non-restrictive licenses (*.*.*.*) are never issued.
