Some programs need to communicate with the universities licensing server to function:
- the computer needs an ip address for the department LAN or it cannot connect to it and consequently the licensing server
- send the computer name / the MAC address to the departments tech support
- the tech support will configure the ip address
- after the computer connects successfully to the LAN
- start the software you wish to license
- follow the explicit licensing instructions for the specific software
- in this process you will most likely be asked to fill in the data for the licensing server
- plus a serial or licensing number
- plus - maybe - a specific license key for this installation
