Network License

SWiSH Network versions support concurrent network users, meaning that we can issue licenses that allow you to run 'x' number of users over a network at one time. Note that network drivers are required to run the protected product over a network. Network drivers must be installed on the local drive of the server, which are supplied with the installer for the network version.

Network Situations
SWiSH Network version can be run:

·	on a server with access permitted by a number of client machines

·	on client's machines with the license file residing on the server.

SWiSH Network currently has drivers for the following platforms:

·	Windows NT

·	Windows 95/98

·

Novell.

For all networks, clients require read-and-write access to the shared server directory containing the SWiSH Network.

For NetWare servers, clients require read, write, and filescan permissions. For example, NetWare applications include the following:

·	WCKSERVE.EXE: an MS-DOS application that runs on any Windows 3.x, 95 or 98 server, WCKSERVE.EXE maximizes Windows multitasking abilities for MS-DOS applications

·	CKSERVER.NLM: a NetWare loadable module that works on all NetWare platforms without requiring support libraries or configuration.

Network Drivers
These are supplied with the software installer. If you get network errors, please contact support@swishzone.com immediately.

NT / Windows 2000
If you are running SWiSH from a server over an NT network you will need to install NT drivers on the local computer. We supply SETUPEX.EXE and CKS.EXE with the installer. Copy these two files to the same location on the local computer and double-click SETUPEX.EXE to install the drivers. Ensure that the "Crypkey License" service is installed and running. You are now able to run from the server copy.

After Installation of your Network Driver
You should be able to share your copy of SWiSH across the network.

Note that your SWiSH Network license will only enable access to a limited number of users. If you exceed this limit the following message will appear to prompt you to wait for access.



Running Under MS-DOS
SWiSH Network does not support the MS-DOS network.
