Overview
Some networks will have IPV6 enabled by default and this may cause an issue with licensing products. This is an issue that has been reported for customers using Unlimi-tech Applets and FileCatalyst Applets.
Microsoft has posted a Knowledgebase Article on how to disable IPV6 globally and for a specific NIC. These solutions can be deployed automatically or manually.
