Choosing the right server for the Fotoware license server

When online activation is not an option, Fotoware software can validate its licenses using an in-house server running the FlexNet license server.

Fotoware recommends installing the license server on a central Active Directory server to provide all clients with convenient access to licenses. If using an AD server is not an option, the license server should be installed on the Fotoware Index Manager server.
