Re: [Webct-admin] license keyed to secondary IP address of machine

[Derek D. <di...@un...>]

So in our case WebCT v3.1 is running on the "primary" IP address and
thus that license works.  Our v3.6CE is running on a "secondary" IP so
it works, too.  Both instances are in production.

OK, glad it works. :)
