a stand alone machine is a machine which cannot communicate with other computers, i.e is not connected to any sort of network (this includes a home or corporate network, and the internet)
A computer that is not part of any network, typically Local Area Network, is considered stand-alone computer. Please note that, depending on the situation, a computer that is not part of LAN, but has access to the internet may or may not be conisdered a stand-alone. The term stand-alone is usually by computer security people. A computer that is not part of LAN is usually configured in such a way that all unnecessary ports/services that can allow access to the computer are blocked in order to secure it.
The installation program of GstarCAD network version and stand-alone version is completely the same, but to select stand-alone version or network version according to authorization methods on installing. If you install the stand-alone version when you use network lock, you can only use 30 days as installing the trial version. When you use stand-alone lock, it is not necessary to install lock drive if you use USB lock, but necessary if system (WIN98, etc.) can' t identify USB interface. Network lock is parallel lock or USB lock. Select network version when installing GstarCAD at customer end. If network lock installs normally, setting is not necessary at customer end. If there are two or more network locks in one network, it is better to setup the locks in different computer and then set the name and IP address of the computer onto which set the network lock at customers' end.
With stand-alone computers, you have to manually transfer files to view it on another computer. If you have a file server though, everything is saved to the same place and any computer hooked up to it can open the files
