Overview

The WibuKey network server enables the access to WibuBoxes via network. This allows copy protection of an application as well as limitation of the number of users that can access the application at the same time. A WibuKey network server can run on any computer in the network, it is not necessary to run it on a dedicated network server system.

WibuKey provides two network subsystems: WkNet and WkLAN.

WkLAN is protocol (TCP/IP) based, i.e. data is transferred synchronously between the workstations and the server. The current implementation runs on MacOS (8, 9, X), all Windows versions and all supported Linux Distributions with a properly configured TCP/IP subsystem.

WkNet uses a shared file for communication.

Following WibuKey network servers are available:

A 32 bit Windows application for Windows 95/98/ME and Windows NT based, called WkSvW32. This application can also run as service on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Server 2003, 2008, Vista/7/8/8.1.

WkSvNW, an NLM for Novell Netware servers (version 3.11, 3.12 and 4.01).

WkSvMac, an application for Mac OS 8/9.

WkSvMacX, an application for Mac OS X.

WkSvLin, an application for all supported Linux distributions.
