Carlson Software Network License Installation Guide (For New Installs)

This information applies to new network installs.

These instructions can also be found at Carlson Knowledge Base article #55.

  • Download the latest SentinelRMS 9.8.0 version of the license management software and install it on the server. 

  • Download the CarlsonLMTools 9.5.0221.Zip and extract the files to the server in a location that is both easy to find and easy to remember. You will need these files in the future for license management purposes. 

  • Open the LMTools folder and run the regclient.exe to request license files for your new license manager. You will receive a reply (to the e-mail address specified in your request) containing your license file. 

  • Save the .txt license file (from your reply e-mail) into the LMTools folder.
    • On the left-hand side of WLMAdmin you will see Subnet Servers with a plus (+) beside it.
    • Click on the plus beside Subnet Servers to “maximize” the list of servers.
    • Run the WLMAdmin.exe file, also found in the LMTools folder, to point the license manager to the new license file.
    • Right-click on the subnet server that you intend to use for the license manager.
    • Select ADD A FEATURE. Then, select FROM A FILE. Lastly, select TO A SERVER AND ITS FILE.
    • A Windows browser window will open in the LMTools folder, allowing you to select the license file you received in your email.

You can download the Carlson program from the Carlson download page (using your new provided key) and install it on each workstation.

Instructions for a silent install are outlined in Knowledge Base Article #763.
