Sorry for the delay on the response, I didn't get an email showing you had responded!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We are using pre-XM clients.&amp;nbsp; How do I format the name of the gateway into the machine name for the client computer?&amp;nbsp; Let's just say my server running SSXM and the Gateway is named Fred.&amp;nbsp; The computer trying to get a license from that server is named Wilma.&amp;nbsp; What do I put into the Computer Name field in SSXM?&amp;nbsp; Fred\Wilma?&amp;nbsp; That doesn't seem to work either.&amp;nbsp; I am only trying to restrict access by computer name, not by domain.&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is confusing with the * for wildcards - it is noted that wildcards are supported in the Computer Name field.&amp;nbsp; I was not trying to use this to define use by domain, only by computer name.&amp;nbsp; I assume the wildcard is to be used for things like:&amp;nbsp; I have 100 desktop computers and they are named Computer1, Computer2, Computer3, etc. and I have 50 laptops named Laptop1, Laptop2, etc.&amp;nbsp; I can specify all desktop computers get access by using Computer* in the Computer Name field.&amp;nbsp; But that does not seem to work that way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The wildcard thing is really just gravy.&amp;nbsp; I really need to get the Computer Name part working. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Thanks Phil!

Hi Kristi,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Are you using pre-XM clients through the Gateway or are the client applications all XM or V8i?&amp;nbsp; If they are pre-XM, you must include the name of the machine where the Gateway is running.&amp;nbsp; If they are all XM or V8i clients, what is the error message you receive on the client end?&amp;nbsp; There is a log file that is created when you run the &amp;quot;send logs now&amp;quot; from the license management tool that would help me see what response is coming back from SELECTserver.&amp;nbsp; After you run the send logs now, the log file will be under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bentley\Licensing\licdebug.log. &amp;nbsp;I don't recommend posting the log file to the forum as it may contain sensitive information.&amp;nbsp; If you want, you can send me a private message through BE Communties and I will take a look at the log.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As far as the * not working for the wildcard when defining a group of computers by domain, it is an understood *.&amp;nbsp; You do not have to enter the wildcard, only the domain name.&amp;nbsp; It will automatically fill in the * when you apply the restriction by group of computers.&amp;nbsp; When defining computers by a single computer, the * would not be necessary unless your computer name actually includes a * character in the computer name.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Regards,
&lt;/p&gt;
