SynaptiCAD
Node-Locked License Installation
Windows
I. Place the file syncad.lic in the directory where your
SynaptiCAD product is installed. This will enable it. (This
only works if LM_LICENSE_FILE is not already defined if so, see
How to set the LM_LICENSE_FILE )
or
II. Place the license file anywhere you wish (with any name), and
set the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to be the fully qualified
path to the license file.
NOTE: If you enabled an NT server as part of a floating license
setup, use the same syncad.lic file that you modified for the server.
The server and workstations will thus have identical license files.
If you enabled a UNIX server, use the syncad.lic file that Synapticad
has sent you. Make sure the file has the correct server information
on the first line.
Warning: If the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is set on
your workstation, you must add the path to your new syncad.lic license.
Follow the procedure below to check and set this environment variable.
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.
2. Look under User Variables and see if one called LM_LICENSE_FILE
appears. If it does, it means it is set and you must add your new
license file path to it.
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).
How to set the LM_LICENSE_FILE Windows 95/98
1. Type the word "set" at a DOS prompt and see if a variable called
LM_LICENSE_FILE appears in the resulting list.
2. If it does, then add the path to the new license file by editing
the autoexec.bat file. Do this by typing a semi-colon after the
current path and typing the new full path and filename (eg, c:\vlogger\syncad.lic).
3. If the variable does not appear, 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).
UNIX
I. (This only works if LM_LICENSE_FILE is not already defined).
Place the file license.dat either in /usr/local/flexlm/licenses
or in the /bin subdirectory in the directory where your SynaptiCAD
product is installed. This will enable it.
or
II. Place the license file anywhere you wish (with any name), and
set the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to the the fully qualified
path to the license file.
NOTE: If you enabled a server as part of a floating license setup,
use the same license.dat file that you modified for the server.
Thus the server and workstations will have the same license file.
