A site license is applied similar as a node locked license however rather than needing a different seat ID for each system, only one seat ID (or one license) is used for every system for an organization.
A site license is associated with a domain name. The systems using the site license must be part of the domain and must be on the network when Internet activating (Option 1 below).
NOTE: Only one domain can be used per Seat ID (license)
If the site license is for a sub domain, only systems within the subdomain or subdomains of the subdomain can use the site license, not the parent domains.
