The Network License Manager is software designed to allow licensing of our software to be controlled over a network. With NLM, a license can float (be allocated) to any workstation that needs it as long as there are still licenses available in the NLM software. When the software closes on the workstation, the license is freed to be used by others.

Software Details

Single Hardware Key

Only one hardware key is necessary for controlling all of your licenses on the network.

Any Combination of Programs or Licenses

NLM allows for the programming of any number of programs, and any number of purchased licenses for each of those programs.

Windows Platforms Tested

NLM has been tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit), and Windows 7 and Windows 8 (32 and 64 bit).

Managing Users Online

The Network License Manager displays which users are logged at any given time.
When a client program checks for the existence of a license at the NLM, NLM will allocate a license for use by that program for limited time. The allocation is shown in the Users Online menu.

As long as the program on the workstation continues to check-in through the network with NLM on a regular basis, the workstation keeps the license for itself.

The administrator can choose to stop all incoming communications or logout individual users.

License Configuration File

A unique encrypted "netkey.lmc" file is used to control the NLM license setup. This file is placed in the "config" folder under the NLM application folder. The file contains unique information for each customer and couples with a single hardware key that is delivered to the customer.

If a customer purchases more licenses of software that need to be added to their implementation of NLM at a later date, then the encrypted file can be sent by the internet directly to the customer for installation on the NLM server computer.

Demonstration Video for NLM
