ClosedRemarks

The LicenseServer.AlternateAddress property sets and returns the address of the the Seagull License Server that should be used if the preferred server (set and returned with the LicenseServer.Address property) is not available. The address can be a server name (e.g., MyServer), a domain name (e.g., Shipping.MyCompany.com), an IP address (e.g., 10.1.1.68), or the asterisk, ("*"). Setting the address to an asterisk will cause BarTender to search for an alternate Seagull License Server on the defined port (AutoDetect). Getting a "*" indicates that BarTender connected to an alternate Seagull License Server on the defined port.

AutoDetect will not find a Seagull License Server that is behind a network router.
