Network protection

When you run multiple copies of the Vectorworks program across a network, serial numbers are checked when the program is launched, and also periodically throughout the session.

If the same serial number is found to be in use, the All Serial Numbers In Use dialog box opens. From this dialog box, click User Information to display the User Name, if given, and the IP address of the other location. Click Edit Numbers to delete the existing serial number and enter a new one. Once the situation is resolved, click Retry Numbers to regain access to the program. If the serial number is still in use after three attempts, the program automatically shuts down.
