Install IPASSI FNP License Server

During the installation process, the Setup utility requires the following information

• User name

• Company name and address

• Phone number

• E-mail address

• Product details

The administrator should have this information ready before starting the installation procedure.

1. From Windows Explorer, the administrator opens either the FNPxx.xx SERVER INSTALL CD or the folder on the local or network drive that contains the IPASSI FNP xx.xx License Server installation program.

2. The administrator browses to the root of the folder and double-clicks the FNPxxxx_Setup.exe. After the Setup program starts, the administrator clicks on the Install button, and the Setup Welcome dialog box appears.

3. The administrator clicks the Next button. The Customer Information dialog box appears.

4. The administrator enters the requested information. The e-mail address is required. All other entries are optional. The information entered in this dialog box will appear automatically on the Permanent License Request Form, in the ipassi.txt file, which will be created by the install program. This is the form that the administrator submits to AVEVA to request a permanent license file.

5. The administrator clicks the Next button, and then makes sure all the customer information is correct, and clicks the Next button to commit.

6. The Destination Folder dialog box appears. The administrator selects the destination directory in which the FNP License Server application files will be installed. The default target location for this is C:\PROGRAM FILES(x86)\. To change the destination directory, the administrator clicks the Browse button and specifies the desired directory.

7. The administrator clicks the Next button to commit the install to the selected target destination.

8. The administrator clicks the Install button. The Setup utility starts copying files and displays the installation progress indicator.

9. The administrator clicks the Cancel button at any time to cancel the installation. After the file transfer is complete, the Setup Complete dialog box appears.

10. After reading the message on the dialog, the administrator clicks the Finish button to complete the installation.

    After the IPASSI FNP License Server is installed successfully, two shortcut icons appear in the Start -> SimSci menu, as shown below.

The IPASSI FNP Folder shortcut allows the license administrator to directly open the IPASSI FNP License Server folder in Windows Explorer. This folder contains the following IPASSI FNP License Server files:

• the generic daemon lmgrd.exe

• the SimSci vendor daemon ipassi.exe

• the permanent license request form ipassi.txt

• the server options file ipassi.opt

• the management tool lmtools.exe

The lmtools.exe shortcut icon gives direct access to launch the major FNP license server management tool lmtools.exe. The administrator uses this utility to manage and configure the IPASSI FNP License Server.
