This page addresses how 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.

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. |
 |
| Step 6 | Run Benderlink for SolidWorks. The NLM Server software should report that a user is logged into Benderlink for SolidWorksand that there are the correct seats of the software available.
|
|
| Step 7 | If Benderlink for SolidWorks 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 |
