I want to restrict access to my Embed model only to specific MAC addresses. Is there a way to achieve this? Thank you.

    Hi Robbert. We don't have a builtin MAC address detector , though our licensing does use the MAC address. You could write an addon DLL for a block that requires a MAC address to run. Or you could password protect your whole diagram or portions of it. To protect a compound block, ctrl+rt mouse on the compound and check the "Locked" option and put your password in as below

    You can lock the entire diagram using File/Diagram Info screen as below

    Hi Peter,

    Unfortunately, Embed does not directly support the MAC address detection feature. Are there any other convenient methods? Creating a DLL might be challenging for someone who is not familiar with programming. Can you briefly describe the process and steps involved? Thank you.
