We are an NNA distributor. One of our academic clients is trying to use their Academic VW Landmark with a network dongle on their LAN that is set up as "one VLAN per switch". The student machines that need to access the network dongle are sometimes on separate switches or VLANS.
Is it possible to use the Network dongle in this environment?
I am including an excerpt from their communication to make it is as clear as possible.

As per our discussion this morning could you please forward the information below to the technical support division in the USA. I have scanned through the support forums on the Vectorworks website and have found nothing. http://kbase.nemetschek.net/index.php
Our lab network has been designed in a "VLAN per switch" configuration. This means that each switch has a gateway. Our license server is centralized.
The VW license server setup documentation indicates that the license manager should be on the same network as the workstation computers will be on. An extract from the documentation below --
" The computer must be on the same network that workstation computers will be on. It should also physically be in a location where the HASP Net dongle will be secure, as it represents your VectorWorks license(s). "
What are the chances that we could configure the VectorWorks client application to retrieve the license off the license server without broadcasting for it ? If there is a solution for this it would be greatly appreciated.
