FS Auth – Network license authorisation overview (for technicians)

About

The Freedom Scientific Network License option is available for multi-user licenses of Freedom Scientific BLV software products JAWS/ZoomText/Fusion.  It provides a way to centrally distribute a license to client PCs in the same network and does away with the need to individually authorise workstations with separate individual licenses. Sentinel License Manager software can be installed on any computer that is available for client computers attached to the network.   As each station logs on it receives a network broadcast and downloads a license from the Sentinel server machine, when the workstation logs off the license is returned to the Sentinel Server central pool.   This way anywhere upwards of five users may be supported.
