A Stand-alone license allows you to run an Autodesk product on a single workstation.
A Network license allows you to run an Autodesk product with a license that is shared by various computers on a network.
Network license server models:
Single License Server: The NLM is installed on a single server, so license management and activity is restricted to this server.
Distributed License Server: Licenses are distributed across more than one server.
Redundant License Server: Use three servers to authenticate a single license file.
Contact your network administrator for the name of your license server.
