4.6 User counter
This chapter provides a detailed description on how WinRoute checks whether number of
licensed users has not been exceeded.
The WinRoute license does not limit number of user accounts. Number of user accounts does
not affect number of licensed users.
Warning
The following description is only a technical hint that may be used for troubleshooting. License
policy must be borne in mind when deciding for a license purchase — see chapter 4.1 !
The license counter works as follows:
Start WinRoute
Upon WinRoute is started, the table of clients include the firewall only. Number of used li-
censes is zero.
Note: Table of clients is displayed in the Active Hosts section in the Administration Console —
see chapter 19.1 .
License counter
Whenever a communication of any WinRoute’s client is detected, the IP address is used to iden-
tify whether a record does already exist in the table of clients. If not, a new record including
the IP address is added to the table and the number of licenses is raised by 1.
