I guess, technically speaking, you could set up a firewall rule on your license server to block all IP addresses except for the machines in question (assuming you have a static IP configuration).

That's a solution, indeed. 

 

I wonder why they didn't think on something like this situation before... 

Thanks buddy.

    You can configure the license server to allow or deny machines by their IP address or user.  See these pages to set the configuration:

     

    http://localhost:1947/_int_/config_from.html

    http://localhost:1947/_int_/config_users.html

     

    and these pages for an explanation of the settings:

     

    http://localhost:1947/_int_/ACC_help_config_remote_clients.html

    http://localhost:1947/_int_/ACC_help_config_users.html

     

    The 'machines' page would specify access for entire machines.  The "allow=all@all" is added automatically at the end of the list for the Users page.  You probably want something like the following on the 'machines' page:

     

    allow=machine1

    allow=machine2

    allow=machine3

    deny=all
