Installing Network License Code

For a network application, license codes are installed on the computer on which the License Manager runs. Licenses are never physically moved between the network License Manager and client computer. Instead, the License Manager simply keeps track of how many users can run the application and decrements and increments the license count as authorized users are granted permission to run the application and as they exit the application.
