Title: Carlson Software's Network Lincense Manager - An Overview
Created: 2010-01-13Last modified: 2024-03-04

Carlson Software's license management software (Sentinel RMS, found in Carlson Knowledge Base Article #55) coordinates the use of a licensed application by multiple users and computers. This license manager usually runs on a computer that is located on the same subnet as any computer which will be running one of our programs.

The license management software, on the server, reads the license file to identify the valid uses of a single application or feature. There may be multiple licenses in a single license file. The computers that run the Carlson Software programs are called "clients".

When a licensed application is run on the client, a request for a license is sent across the network to the license server. The license server, then, grants the request, if possible, and returns an authorization message back to the client.

Note: A license server program need not run on a file server system or any specific hardware server. Any computer that meets the requirements is acceptable. Realistically, a system running on Pentium Processor 3 (or higher), 550 MHz and having 128 MB RAM is a good choice for measuring stress data.
