This page addresses how to setup the Network License Manager for use with Benderlink for SolidWorks.
| Step 1. | Plug the hardware key that was shipped to you with the Dell computer into the Server. |
Step 2. Download and install the Network License Manager software on the server.
You can download this software at:
http://www.advancedtubular.com/customers/spectrum/setup_att_nlm.exe
Step 3. Once the software is downloaded an installed, run the program.
Under the "Hardware Key Data" tab, verify that The "Key Type" is "memo" and that the "Key Serial Number" matches the "Licensed Key Serial Number".

Step 4. Download and install Benderlink for Solidworks on the client computer.
You can download this software at:
http://www.advancedtubular.com/customers/spectrum/setup_blinksw_1_7.exe
Step 5. Once installed you'll need to edit the configuration file that is located at:
C:\Program Files\blinksw\config\blinksw.config
Using Notepad is the easiest way to edit this file. To do this, right-click on "blinksw.config" and choose "Open With", then choose "Notepad" from the Menu.
Once you are editing the file, look for the line that says:
"NLM IP Address=127.0.0.1"
Change this address to the IP address of the server that the NLM software is installed on.
Once you have done that, you can 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 Solidworks and that there are Zero seats of the software available.
If for any reason something is out of place, please contact me and I'll see that it gets fixed!
