Go Up to Configuring the AppWave Enterprise License Center


The IP list setting provides a way to allow or block access to the license server by IP address or IP range. To configure IP list, select IP List from the main menu. Alternatively, edit file iplist.txt that is located in the <ELC>\conf directory. If no IP ranges are listed, no users can access the license server. With the default setting, *.*.*.*, anyone using a computer at any location can access the license server. The settings apply to both Named user and Concurrent licenses.

The following tables show examples of valid and invalid entries in the IP list file.

Valid Entry Description
192.*.*.* Accepts requests coming from any IP address starting with 192.
192.43.18.* Accepts requests coming from any IP address starting with 192.43.18.

Invalid Entry Description
