Allow or deny users or computers

Configure
CodeMeter
 options to allow or deny access to an activation for specific computers or users.
  • Keep these considerations in mind when configuring
    CodeMeter
     options:
    • Only activations that are currently on the server can be configured.
    • Changing the access rules might require a refresh of the
      CodeMeter
       server.
    • To configure a computer to be a CodeMeter server, select the
      Run Network Server
       box on the
      Advanced > Configure CodeMeter
      page.
