Sibelius 5 Network Version
Technical information
Sibelius' network version operates on a client-server model. The Sibelius program itself is installed on the local hard drive of each of the client workstations, and a separate Licence Server program is installed on a single designated server or workstation. The Licence Server program is supplied on a separate CD-ROM from the Sibelius program itself and enables the designated number of Licenced client copies to run on the network simultaneously. The Licence Server also lets you send messages to users of the client copies, and close copies down from the server machine.
Requirements
Sibelius requires a network using the TCP/IP protocol. (Your network may use other protocols in addition to TCP/IP, but TCP/IP must be present in order for the Licence Server to communicate with the client copies.)
The Licence Server program runs on Windows (XP) or Mac OS X.
