How Does the Licensing Method Work?

Your license number is issued for both your host name AND your IP Address.

This means that you can run PowerWeb Server++ on any server with the host name that you registered, regardless of its IP Address

OR,

Alternatively you can run PowerWeb Server++ on any server with the IP Address that you registered, regardless of its host name.

Changing IP Addresses or Host Names

A network administrator can move the server to a different subnet, thereby changing its IP Address, but keeping the host name the same. PowerWeb Server++ will continue to run on the same license number, because the host name has not changed.

This is What Ours Looks Like:

Configuration Server IP Address Host Name and Domain
External Server 196.7.0.66 www.compusource.co.za
Internal Server 192.168.0.1 www.internal
Local Server 127.0.0.1 localhost

Local Servers

Local Loopback, Dynamic SLIP or Dynamic PPP IP Addresses.

The local loopback IP Address 127.0.0.1 and the host name "localhost" is automatically configured when you want to use the server on a standalone machine, or if you have a dynamic SLIP or PPP IP Address assigned by your Internet Service Provider.

External Servers

LAN With Internet Access

You should license PowerWeb Server++ for the IP Address of the primary LAN adapter of the machine on which the server will run. This will enable all users on the Internet to access your server.

Internal Servers

LAN Without Internet Access

You should license PowerWeb Server++ for the IP Address of the primary LAN adapter of the machine on which the server will run. This will enable all users on your private sub-network to access your server.

Note for Network Administrators: it is advisable to allocate IP addresses on your internal LAN according to the specifications of RFC1597 to avoid any potential conflict with the Internet.
