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.

| 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 |
