Questions about Self Hosted Server

I'm working on a project using PUN, unfortunately some users have poor internet connection and would like a LAN version. Is it possible for players to host a self-hosted server as a LAN server and if so, are there any limitations to this? On the website it says 500 CCU per app/server, does this mean I can only run 1 self-hosted server for my project?

I know it requires an internet connection to do a license check and that's ok.

    For Photon Server you need one license "seat" per machine, correct.
    So if you have a subscription for one machine you are allowed to use that license on one machine.

    Besides that, you are not allowed to distribute Photon Server SDK with your game.

    Thanks for the clarification! Bit of a bummmer though. Is there really no other way for players to have a LAN/self hosted option?

    Sorry, LAN play is not our use case with Photon Server.
