Combination Code 1+2+3+UNC Pathname (8)
This Installation Code combines the Volume ID, MAC address and Hostname with the UNC pathname (details).
The combination of the several installation codes makes the cheating significantly more difficult.
Pros/Cons
+ Cheating is extremely difficult due to the 4 used parameters
+ If an image tool is used, the MAC address is still different
+ Good within a network because the MAC address must be unique
+ Allows only one installation on one machine
+ Works in single user and network environment
- Needs more often a re-licensing – more administration overhead
- See considerations for multiple network cards and subnets
- Restricted use in network environment with Windows 98 / NT machines
This feature is only available in the Professional Edition.
