A network license permits a specified number of copies of
Mathematica to run concurrently on a network, making
Mathematica available to multiple users and machines.
Mathematica system administration in a network license environment involves setting up two separate components. First, the
Mathematica license manager,
MathLM, is installed on the license server to handle the details of license activity. Then,
Mathematica is installed as a client of
MathLM.
