Recommendation
| • | Should be used for enterprise users which have problems using the installation code with the MAC address and which want to make sure that the application is only installed once |
This code is ideal for a network license as it prevents multiple installations on the same server and will most often work - also in complex network environments
This code results in a copy protection error if the applications is started on the server AND on the workstation. It only works if the server is used as a dedicated server. Use code 1-3 in case of an problem.
