The Nalpeiron Licensing Service™ Network Version

netNLS™ is a variation of the Nalpeiron Licensing Service™ (NLS) for Windows Networks.

netNLS™ has the main features of the node-locked version of the NLS but is used to control floating or concurrent users across a Local Area Network. The product is designed to be installed and controlled in much the same way as the node locked version and also uses the same basic API and server side functionality.
