Direct answer

A local activation is tied to a specific workstation, while a network license server makes a pool of concurrent seats available to authorized computers. Local licensing is simple for a dedicated user; network licensing is usually more flexible when many people use the software at different times.

Practical checkpoint

Count simultaneous use—not just installed PCs—and include remote locations, offline needs, server availability, firewall rules, and recovery in the decision.
