How to set the LM_LICENSE_FILE for Windows NT

1. From your desktop, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System and click the Environment tag.

3. To add a path, click on the environment variable to highlight it. The variable information should appear in the edit boxes below.

4. Add a new path by typing a semi-colon after the current setting followed by the full path and filename, eg c:\vlogger\syncad.lic. Note that this procedure allows you to put the license file anywhere you want.

5. Press OK when you are done.

6. If LM_LICENSE_FILE does not appear under User Variables you do not need to add it. However, you must then place the license file in the top level directory where the product is installed (ie, you cannot place it wherever you want).
