What is the difference between ZWCAD Stand-Alone version and Network version?

It is only the different way to get authorization to distribute or manage license. For the end user, there is no difference because the functions are the same. Stand-Alone version requires dongle for every license to plug in every computer. And ZWCAD can get the authorization from this dongle when it is running. Network version provides only one dongle for plugging into the server. And there is a Console in the server to manage licenses where all the workstations ask for authorization. Workstations can get authorization once there is any free license, so it ensures that licenses can be best utilized.
