Network license
For network licenses, license protection is provided by a special network key, which can be attached to or installed on any computer accessible in the network. Unlike a software license, a network license is usually located on a license server and is therefore not permanently bound to a computer. Hence, it is not a single license for a local computer. The license server dynamically assigns licenses to the individual computers of the network for a certain period. Once this period has expired, the license is withdrawn from the affected computer in the network.
