a dedicated host computer.

2 Follow the instructions on the Software License Entitlement
Certificate to redeem your license.
3 You will receive a license file (in an email). The file has the suffix .lic.
4 Follow the instructions in the email to complete the installation of the
license file.

installed by selecting Utilities > Licenses... then viewing the license
status in the Installed column.
Installing M8070A-ONP Floating/Networked License
An M8070A-ONP floating/networked license resides on a network server
and is accessible by multiple users. The user checks out a license each
time the software is accessed. The server tracks the number of licenses
checked out and the number of licenses available for use.
The server must be running license services. This server can be a
dedicated computer running the license server or it can run license
services and the M8070A software concurrently.
Firewall Configuration for Licensing
If your instrument or PC has a firewall installed and enabled, your system
administrator may need to allow certain executables and/or a limited
range of port numbers to go through the firewall. This topic discusses
those ports and configuration for three common firewalls.
Typically, the Licensing installer will do the necessary configuration of
the Windows firewall. These instructions are provided in case you need to
verify or modify the firewall configuration manually.
