I need some clarification on the function of a temporary license issued via Select Server. We have a deployed Select Server XM. I would like to issue a temporary license to a user who will be working off site. If I issue a temporary license and send the key to the user via email, will he be able to enter the activation key and run the product? If not, how would I go about getting a license to the user?
I got the license activated. Thanks to both of you.

The Workstation name is simply the computer name listed in the System control panel without the domain (i.e. everything up to the first period). For instance, if the full computer name is workstation127.engineeringfirm.com, only workstation127 would need to be specified. The user name is completely arbitrary as far as I can tell. You could specify the user portion of the email address in the User Name field, for instance.
What would I input for Workstation name and User name if the user is not in the network (i.e. a home user)?
In the SELECTserver admin interface you can checkout a license using the License Checkout link under the License Management section. After providing the required information (Workstation Name, User Name, E-Mail address and application version) You'll then have the option of e-mail the license to the user or downloading and xml file that can be provided to them. They then import that XML file using the License Management tool.
If the user is not on the network, can he still check out a license? How would that work?
Thanks Jeremy
