Network License Server Setup

Included on the CD-ROM is the HASP Driver and HASP License Manager Setup. Once these are installed, insert the Network USB Key in an open USB Port on the License Server.

Install the driver from the CD_ROM (CDDrive:\License Server Setup\HASP Driver\HASPUserSetup.exe).

Install the License Manager from the CD-ROM (CDDrive:\License Server Setup\HASP License Manager\Imsetup.exe).

Setup License Server Manually

After successfully running the setup for the license server, if you chose to manually install the device driver for the security key and launch the license manager software, follow the steps below.

Install the Device Driver:
Open a DOS box and run HINSTALL -i from the directory to which you installed the license server.
After you receive a confirmation that the driver installed successfully, reboot the workstation.
Start the License Manager Software:

From the directory to which you installed the license server, run NHSRVW32.EXE. A window will appear and show the network protocols to which the license manager will listen for license requests.

Please Note: You need to install the device driver only once. However, you must launch the license manager program each time you reboot the key server. To automatically start the license manager each time you reboot the system, create and place an icon for NHSRVW32.EXE in the workstation’s startup folder.

Find a License Key Server on a Routed Network

In order for a workstation to run the network version of ProModel properly, the workstation must check out a license from a license server. To make a license request, the workstation sends a broadcast message out on the network and awaits a response from the license server. If the license server and the workstation running ProModel are on the same sub net of a routed network (or on the same network of a non-routed network), the license server receives the request and responds. Due to the nature of routed networks, if the license server and workstation running ProModel are not on the same sub net of a routed network, the key server will not receive the license request broadcast.

To resolve this problem, the workstation must send a license request directly to the computer on the network set up as the license server. To identify which computer on the network is the license server, you must create and store a text file called NETHASP.INI in the directory to which you installed ProModel on the workstation or file server.

For TCPIP-based networks the NETHASP.INI file must contain the following lines

[NH_COMMON]

NH_TCPIP=Enabled;

[NH_TCPIP]

NH_TCPIP_METHOD=TCP

NH_SERVER_ADDR=<Enter the license server’s IP address here>

Please Note: If you followed step 8 in the network installation instructions for ProModel , the NETHASP.INI file is generated automatically.
