accessing network license without vpn, is it possible?

Hi Gil,

Since you need to be connected to the server machine which has the SolidNetwork License manager installed in order to obtain the license, VPN is a good way of achieving this, if you can find an alternative way of accessing your network remotley then in theory that would work.

The link below is to the installation guide and starting on page 102, the steps to install SW in this mannerare outlined. Also, it states that "The license manager and all license clients must have TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) connectivity" so if you can get this in a different way to VPN then you will have access to the licenses then.
