There are a number of occasions when you might want to consider hosting your License Server on a server here at IST.


1. Your local area network is not configured in such a way that allows a license server to be installed in such a way as to be available to all possible SCP users

2. Users of SCP with a floating license may need to access the license server when they are away from the corporate network.

3. You do not have a dedicated server machine.


If any of these situations exist, or you have other issues in installing and using a License Server, please contact us for details of our Hosted License Server service.


We will set up a dedicated license server for you on one of our servers, for an annual fee.


Note that even if you are using a hosted license server, your client PCs running SCP will still have to be able to communicate with the Internet and must have access to port 13.
