After this 12. step, the License Manager is installed, and the Network License is activated (ready-to-use on clients computer).
The computer, on which the server is placed (set), can also work as client/user. It means that you can
set your network license in your Power Path software on your server (host) computer.
Users can be connected within the local network via LAN or Wi-Fi to which the server is also connected.
If they are out of range of Wi-Fi then they must use a VPN to connect to that network.

License Managing and advanced options
Power Path license deactivation
You can open License Manager dialog window to deactivate your Bricsys Network License Manager in two ways:
1. By entering command LICENSEMANAGER in command bar
or
2. Turn on Menu Bar and choose License Manager from Help menu.
New dialog window License Manager will be opened.
- Click on Manage License.
- Choose Return and click on Yes.
Close Power Path software.
When you set Return, you returned your network license from your power-path software to the Network License Pool. It means that you can return a license earlier than the expiry date, but to do this, your computer must be connected to the network license server.
Power Path license roaming option
Roaming option in the window Bricsys License Manager is used when a user needs to work offline (will not be connected on local network). A roaming license is tied to the client computer that goes offline for a specific period of time.
So, roaming functionality represent when a computer can be offline for a period of time and continue to use the application.
The resulting license can be used for the number of days specified when the license was set to roam.
After this period, the license is checked back in automatically. If needed, you can return the roamed license to the license pool early.
Using Reprise Software for managing network licenses on server
The intro screen of the Reprise Software is shown below. There are 3 sections on this interface:
- a top banner with the Reprise logo and title,
- a command area on the left and
- a general view area in the main side of the screen.
On the left side is a list of administration commands which will be discussed.
If you are client and user and want to open Reprise Software just use URL address http://localhost:5054/home.asp, but if you are just user write the name of your server (host): http:/pbacev:5054/home.asp (for example, the name of server is: p-bacev) and Reprise Software will be opened. 
Main Status Screen
If you select Status from the menu on the left, the main status screen is displayed in the view area as shown below.
The first table displays the host information where the Reprise Software server is running - host name and port #.
The second table displays the status of the Reprise Software server itself.
The third table represent the main part for us. It is a table of ISV servers, with a number of buttons like ISV server status, license status, display the last few lines of the debug log, reread, or restart the server, edit server options, or shut down the ISV server.
Server Status
If you click on an ISV button in the Server Status column in the ISV server status display, you will see the detailed status display for this ISV server (shown below) in the view area.
This display shows some server statistics in a table at the top, followed by a table of all the licenses which this ISV server is serving.

The column has buttons which, if pressed, will generate a list of users of that product.

If you enter an ISV name that particular ISV server will be restarted if it is not running, or it will be sent a reread command if it is running. If you leave the ISV name blank or enter "all", all ISV servers will be restarted or reread their license files, as appropriate.
The Reread/Restart Servers will happen when you click the REREAD/RESTART button.
If you do not wish to send the reread command to any servers, use the browser back button, or select a different command from the list on the left.
