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.
