The license per PC uses the name of the PC (hostname) and stores this name in the license file. Once the Multimedia Player is started, it checks wether the PC name is already stored in the license file and if not, it starts only in case a free license is available. After the Multimedia Player has been terminated, the license is still in use.
A PC can be removed from the license file in the Licence Viewer. The license will then be available for another PC.
This license type can be used for a single PC installation (license = 1 = limitation to 1 PC) or network installation.
All files have to be on the server in the same directory - see files for distribution
If a user connects through a remote connection using a tool like Remote Desktop, Citrix, Terminal Server or gotomypc, it depends on the tool if the remote connection counts as a separate license. For most tools, Multimedia Protector retrieves the PC name of the remote PC and counts the connection as a new license.
