Access control

The following example shows how to set up an access restriction for a specific floating product [Floating product] for a specific user and a specific computer:

  1. Expand a base product or add-on and select a line beginning with "Allow " or "Deny ".

    -> The Access dialog area is activated.

    -> The buttons are activated.

  2. In the Access... dialog area, select ...

    • Deny

      or

    • Allow (default)

    You can adjust this setting anytime later (if needed).

  3. Click on Add.

    -> Below the selected product a new line is inserted.

    -> The Object dialog area is activated.

  4. In the Object dialog area, select an option (Ip Range [IP Range] | User | Computer ).

    • IP Range

      Determine a range of IP addresses.

      The syntax in the input field is based on Classless Inter-Domain-Routing (CIDR).

      CIDR enables network masks of any length.

      Behind the IP address, enter a prefix block separated by a slash '/' (see following figure). The block prefix shows the number of bits at the beginning of an IP address which identify the network. Then all other bits indicate the host.
