Extension summary

This will only be of interest to users of MineSight software using our cloud license server in dynamic IP mode to so they can access their license(s) from anywhere in the world.

It provides our web authentication app (license.minesight.com) with an additional piece of information (namely the user's hostname) in order to be able to distinguish one user from another in cases where multiple users might be running from behind the same NAT.

This extension is restricted to only provide this information to license.minesight.com which itself runs over https in order to avoid leakage of this information to 3rd parties.
