ActCAD Network License Server (NLS)

ActCAD Network Licensing allows license floating between LAN connected computers. One NFL license key will allow one ActCAD client to work at a time, but it can be any one computer in the network. If five NFL keys are purchased, you can use ActCAD in any five computers in LAN which are launched first. If any client is closed, automatically the license will be released back to the ActCAD Network License Server (NLS). License will float between the NLS and ActCAD client automatically. All you need is LAN connection (internet is not required.
