Although you can configure a single server locally by using Group Policy Management and other tools directly on the server, that method is not efficient and does not guarantee consistency when you have many computers to configure. When you have multiple computers to manage, you can instead create and edit GPOs, and then apply those GPOs to the computers in your organization.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>The goal of a Windows Firewall with Advanced Security configuration in your organization is to improve the security of each computer by blocking unwanted network traffic from entering the computer and protecting wanted network traffic as it traverses the network. Network traffic that does not match the rule set configured in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is dropped. You can also require that the network traffic which is allowed must be protected by using authentication or encryption. The ability to manage Windows Firewall with Advanced Security by using Group Policy lets an administrator apply consistent settings across the organization in a way that is not easily circumvented by the user.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>In this guide, you get hands-on experience in a lab environment that uses Group Policy management tools to create and edit GPOs to implement typical firewall and connection security settings and rules. You configure GPOs to implement common server and domain isolation scenarios and see the effects of those settings.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>Your feedback is valuable and welcome!

When I start STAAD.Pro I get a message ‘Valid Trial License was not found or
trial license expired, entering limited mode...' STAAD then simply fails to
display and appears to close. <br />
With the Bentley License Management Tool I am able to see STAAD.Pro licenses,
check out one onto the local computer, but still get the same message when I
start STAAD.Pro. <br />
I checked to see the version of the Bentley IEG License Management Tool and
STAAD.Pro from Control Panel > Add Remove Programs and they are 02.00.15.0
and 20.07.04.12 respective. <br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Solution:</b></span>
<br />
Exit STAAD.Pro <br />
1. Go into the registry editor (Start > Run - type in "regedit") <br />
2. Go
to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> Software > Bentley > STAAD.Pro > License.
<br />
Look at the data for the field called "Type". If you find that it is "USL",
please change it to "STANDARD". See the figure below <br />

The USL or universal license option is for those who are entitled to all the
licenses for different softwares provided by Bentley (ELS Subscription). Most of
the users will be entitled to the STANDARD optionKanav Guptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131092626842866507noreply@blogger.com0
