A license for a Guardant license server in the local network. The license server controls the number of simultaneously working users, ensures flexible and easy administration because license should be supported only on the server.
A network license can be created without restriction on the number of simultaneously working users.
A network license can enable the user to get a temporary local license to work with the application without an internet connection up to 30 days. For example, it can be used on a laptop during business trips.

The table displays license period options and their application scenarios:

License period	Application scenario
Certain dates	A temporary license that enables the user to run the licensed application between the fixed calendar dates only. Once the calendar date has reached, the license will expire regardless of whether the application is used or not.

If an application was first started on July 1, 2017, the license expires on July 30, 2017.
