Carlson Software Network Installation Instructions

Here are the instructions for the Carlson Network installation, which can also be found in Knowledge Base article #55.

1        Download the SentinelRMS_9_8_0 and install it on the server.

2        Download the Carlson LMTools9_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.

3        Open the LMTools folder and run the regclient.exe to request license files for your new license manager. Just to let you know, you will receive a reply (to the e-mail address you asked for) containing your license file.

4        Save the .txt license file (from your reply e-mail) into the LMTools folder.

5        Run the WLMAdmin.exe file, also found in the LMTools folder, to point the license manager to the new license file.

  1. On the left-hand side of WLMAdmin you will see Subnet Servers with a plus (+) beside it.  Please click on the plus beside Subnet Servers to “maximize” the list of servers.
  2. Right-click on the subnet server that you intend to use for the license manager.
  3. Select ADD A FEATURE.  Then, select FROM A FILE.  Lastly, select TO A SERVER AND ITS FILE.
  4. A Windows browser window will open within the LMTools folder, allowing you to select the license file you received in your email.

6        You should receive a message from the license manager that the license files were added to the manager.

 

7      Now, install the Carlson Software product which you intend to network onto each of the workstations using the network serial number provided to you.

You can now verify that the licensing works on the client machine. Please note that a license is not retrieved when the program starts but only after the first or second consecutive command.

For troubleshooting, please refer to Knowledge Base article #211.

If you intend to use commuter licenses, please refer to Knowledge Base article #507 for additional steps that the administrator must perform on the workstation.

The Complete Administrator's Guide has been included in the Carlson LMTools9_5_0221.Zip
