Licence Server and Access
Currently, access to the licence server is available on the campus wired network and via Eduroam. Please contact the Europractice rep for any additional help.
In general, many of the vendor tools are not available/allowed to be accessed off site. We are therefore forced to restrict access in general for most tool licences to operator on site only.
