Follow these steps to setup the Network License Manager for use with TubeCAD Pro.
| Step 1 |
Run the NLM Installation software on the Windows server computer.
Please do not plug the hardware key into the computer at this point in the installation. You will be asked to plug it in later. |
 |
| Step 2 |
During installation, allow the HASP hardware key driver software to run.
|
 |
| Step 3 |
You can plug the hardware key in the computer now. If appropriate, a Hardware Key Update program will run that will change the license in the hardware key so that it will run the NLM software rather than a stand-alone copy of TubeCAD Pro. Press "Next", then follow the instructions on the screen until the update is complete. |
 |
| Step 4 | You can allow the NLM software to load as the installation is closing. |
 |
| Step 5 | Click on the "Licensed Applications" tab to be sure TubeCAD Pro is in the list of licenses.
|
 |
| Step 6 |
Go to the TubeCAD Pro computer (where it is installed). You'll need to edit the configuration file that is located at: Newer TubeCADIf you have a TubeCAD Pro package that is v8-20130304 or NEWER, then you will need to browse to this file in your unique login user namespace: For Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: (For example, if you login as "Steve Smith", then the <username> value above would be changed the "Steve Smith".) Older TubeCADIf you have an older TubeCAD Pro, then load this file: Using Notepad is the easiest way to edit this file. To do this, right-click on TubeCAD.config and choose Open With, then choose Notepad from the Menu. In the editor, look for the line that reads:
Change the "0" to a "1". The line should be changed to: In the editor, look for the line that reads:
Change IP address to the IP address that is used at the server. The value will be the IP address shown in the NLM software in the IP Adapter List tab.
Save the file and exit Notepad. |
Use the NLM Adapter List screen to find the server IP address: |
| Step 7 | Run TubeCAD Pro. The NLM Server software should report that a user is logged into TubeCAD Pro and that there are the correct seats of the software available.
|
|
| Step 8 | If TubeCAD Pro does not log into NLM, then it is probable that your Windows firewall is blocking the transfer of data. This assumes that the connection that address is valid. To check validity, run the "ping" command in the DOS command box. The ping command is formatted like |
