For the network installation, use one of the following license server models:
■ Single license server model. The Network License Manager is installed on a single server, so license management
and activity is restricted to this server. A single license file represents the total number of licenses available
on the server.
■ Distributed license server model. Licenses are distributed across more than one server. A unique license file
is required for each server. To create a distributed license server, you must run the Network License Manager
on each server that is part of the distributed server pool.
■ Redundant license server model. You use three servers to authenticate a single license file. One server acts as
the master, while the other two provide backup if the master server fails. With this configuration, licenses
continue to be monitored and issued as long as at least two servers are still functional. The license file on all
three servers is the same. You must install the Network License Manager on each server.
Each of these license server models is described in detail in the Network Licensing Guide. It is strongly recommended
that you read that guide before you deploy the program. You can find the Network Licensing Guide by clicking
the Documentation link at the lower left corner of the Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2010 Deployment wizard.
Set Up Network Tools and Your License Server
If you are planning to have users run the program using network licenses, you need to use the Network License
Manager.
The Network License Manager helps you configure and manage license servers.

The Network License Manager is used to configure and manage the license servers.
