The Concurrent Network package entitles you to install or deploy Origin on any number of computers in your organization. Each of these computers must have a connection to a machine (workstation or server) on which you must install a FLEXnet server (provided by OriginLab) and set up a FLEXnet service for license management. If you are already using FLEXnet license management for another software vendor, then you can use your existing FLEXnet server to set up a service for managing your Origin, as long as the operating system and FLEXnet version is supported by OriginLab.
