        <h1><a name="kanchor9"></a>What is Network Licensing?</h1>
        <p>The network licensing model is based on the client/server architecture, 
 where licenses are placed on a centralized system in the subnet. On this 
 computer, the <a href="RMS_License_Manager_Overview.htm">Sentinel 
 RMS License Manager</a> must be running to serve the license requests from 
 clients. </p>
        <p>The main difference between activating software that uses a network 
 license rather than a <a href="Standalone_Licensing.htm">stand-alone 
 license</a> is that the license code must reside on the system where the 
 License Manager runs. This may not necessarily be the system where client 
 application will be used. </p>
        <p>For network licenses, you may also be asked to provide a locking code 
 of the system where the License Manager will run.</p>
