Client and license questions

[beeno]

Hi,

I'm evaluating wingate vpn and have the following questions:

1. If we purchase a 3 computer gateway license, does this mean that we can connect only 3 PCs to the VPN. Does this include the computer on which the VPN is installed?

2. What software do I need to run on my home PC to connect to this office VPN? WinGateVPN?

3. If we have a local 3 VPN and a remote 3 VPN, can the 3 PCs from the remote environment connect to the 3 PCs of the local office, without additional client licenses?

4. To connect to the network in point 3, from home, will 1 client license be enough to connect to both VPN networks (that are joined)? Or do I need a client license to connect to the local office and another client license to connect to the remote office?

Thanks

Yes.

2. What software do I need to run on my home PC to connect to this office VPN? WinGateVPN?

Yes, the exact same software. Difference is only in configuration (Setting up a Host / Join VPN)

3. If we have a local 3 VPN and a remote 3 VPN, can the 3 PCs from the remote environment connect to the 3 PCs of the local office, without additional client licenses?

Yes. Correct.

4. To connect to the network in point 3, from home, will 1 client license be enough to connect to both VPN networks (that are joined)? Or do I need a client license to connect to the local office and another client license to connect to the remote office?

You need a license per 'network' that will participate in the VPN. So, if you are stringing 3 separate networks together, you need 3 licenses. (1 license per installation of WinGate VPN)
