The Private License Server Setup dialog

Summary

This dialog allows you to set up the Private License Server. The dialog is used to update the client Altium NEXUS installation to be aware of the primary and/or secondary server(s). Once a Primary Private License Server has been configured, local computers running installations of Altium NEXUS can access and use the license(s) hosted by that server. The Altium NEXUS installation on such a computer is referred to as a 'client' of the server. All available primary and secondary servers on the network to which the client computer is connected are detected and listed.
