Configuring the License Server - Basics
A license server running on a computer with one operating system can communicate with a client running on another operating system. It’s also possible to have a client communicate with a license server running on one operating system today and a license server running on a different operating system tomorrow. This is all transparent to the user of a protected application.
As long as the protected application and license server can communicate, all license requests will be correctly handled. There is also no difference between the license codes generated for license servers running on different operating systems.
In some cases, the application has been designed to work with either stand-alone or network license codes. In this case you can choose which method of operation you prefer by providing the appropriate license code.
