Back to VTube-STEP Use these steps to setup VTube-STEP for use with the Network License Manager software.

STEP 1

Start the NLM software on the server computer. (See Network License Manager for more information.)

STEP 2

Install the VTube-STEP software. Find the "vtube local settings.cfg" file on your computer:

In Windows 7 the file will be located in the c:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\VTube folder.

By default AppData is a hidden folder. You can use Control Panel / Folders command to change this to show all folders. The <UserName> is the login name being used to login to Windows.

In Windows XP, this file will be stored in C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\VTube
