Special Case: Client Station not Connected to Virtual CD NMS

[Top]  [Previous]  [Next]

Under certain circumstances you may find that one or more of your client stations cannot connect to the Virtual CD NMS Service; for example, when a network laptop is used outside the company, or if the server that runs the Virtual CD NMS Service is temporarily unavailable.

To ensure that Virtual CD NMS license control is maintained, VCD NMS stores its license control settings locally; i.e., on each client machine. How the program operates in such cases depends on the following license control settings on the NMS Properties page

 

License control for virtual CDs is deactivated: Any virtual CD can be used.

License control is active for virtual CDs with a number of licenses specified: Locally stored CDs are accessible; CDs stored on the network are not accessible.

License control is active for all virtual CDs: No virtual CDs can be used.

Regardless of the license control settings, Virtual CD cannot run on a client station that is not connected to the Virtual CD NMS Service unless the station in question has its own license for the Virtual CD program.
