[WEB4LIB] RE: Restricting launches to IP-restricted licensed web

[Gayane K Merguerian]

We probably wouldn't restrict the page listing the licensed services, for
exactly the reasons you describe.  But from that list, the user would be
pushed with some kind of script we create--which WOULD be IP
restricted--to the licensed service.  I think a lot of libraries are doing
this.
