Entering a Single-Machine Password

To Enter a Single-Machine Password in the Front End: To Enter a Single-Machine Password from the Kernel:
If the Wolfram System client cannot get a license from MathLM, you are given the option of entering a single-machine password. When using a single-machine password, the Wolfram System does not get a license from the license server. Depending on your license type, entering a single-machine password may require contacting Wolfram Research to purchase additional licenses.
