SafeGuard LM includes a Reverse Proxy Server. A reverse proxy takes requests from the Internet and forwards them to a server on an internal network. The SafeGuard LM proxy server is ideal for forwarding Internet requests to the License Server and Product Activation Server.

SafeGuard LM License Server optionally records all license activity in a format that can be used to generate usage statistics over time. This is very useful for customers to be able to monitor usage and plan for purchasing more licenses.

Node-locked licenses come in two forms. External node-locked licenses are stored in a text file that can be placed anywhere and is human readable. It must accompany the software as a separate file. Internal node-locked licenses are stored inside the executable binary and are not human readable. The functionality of the two license types are identical.

One might use internal licenses for better security, or just because they make it easier to distribute software over the web. For example, it may be more attractive for you to "burn" your licenses inside the application before delivery already locked to the destination host.

One may use external licenses because they can be updated with a text editor rather than a utility application. The choice is yours.
