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
