TubeCAD Pro NLM Installation

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. This driver must be installed one time for the hardware key to be found by NLM.
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. Also, check the number of licenses available to be sure it matches what you've purchased.
Step 6	Go to the TubeCAD Pro computer (where it is installed). You'll need to edit the configuration file that is located at: Alternative Location For some versions of TubeCAD Pro, use this path to find the config file, then then load this file into an editor: `C:\Program Files\tcadpro\config\TubeCAD.config` 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. Edit the Configuration File in a Text Editor In the editor, look for the line that reads: `Enable Network=0` Change the "0" to a "1". The line should be changed to: `Enable Network=1` In the editor, look for the line that reads: `Server Name=127.0.0.1` 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. `Server Name=192.168.2.6` (Please note that your IP address will probably be different than the one shown above.) Next, set the timeout to between 10 and 20 seconds to allow TubeCAD time to wait before showing a hardware key error. `Network Timeout=20` 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 `ping 192.168.2.6`
