Network Requirements

For floating licenses (Floating Server, Floating Client), GeneLinker™ requires a TCP/IP network, and that the TCP/IP protocol be installed on both the license server and the user workstations. In addition, one of the three protocols SNMP, NetBEUI, or IPX/SPX must be installed on both the server and the workstations (GeneLinker™ uses the protocol service to determine the hostid of the system). Any mix of the three protocols on the server and on different workstations is acceptable. By default, many of these protocols are available.
For other licenses (Licensed Client (node-locked), Demo), there are no network requirements.

We recommend that license servers (for floating licenses) be installed on machines that are running the Windows® NT or Windows® 2000 operating system.
