1.1 Requirements for MathLM

MathLM is available for Windows, all Unix and Linux platforms on which Mathematica is supported, and Mac OS X. Visit www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/platforms.html for a complete list of platform availability. Each MathLM license server can support any combination of client machines, regardless of the platform on which MathLM itself is running.

The machine that you choose as a license server should be stable and should have a reliable TCP/IP connection to the clients you want to serve. As MathLM requires minimal processor and memory resources, an older machine with a reliable network connection would be an acceptable license server. Ideally, there should not be any intervening firewalls between the license server and the clients. If there is an intervening firewall, you will need to configure the network to allow traffic to an appropriate port through the firewall. There is no restriction on the physical location of the license server.
