Are there limits to network size for FLEXnet network licensing to work?

The size of a network is limited by the requirement that all computers running Abaqus must be able to connect directly and regularly with the FLEXnet license server. If communication with the server takes too long, the client will spend more time communicating with the server than it does processing. Failure to communicate regularly will result in clients losing tokens and waiting while they are reacquired. The most basic test of network communication is the ping command. If a client and server cannot ping each other by name and IP address, network licensing will not work between the two computers. (However, the fact that the ping command functions properly does not necessarily guarantee that network licensing will work.)
