A. Install the ETABS Software

1. On the server, insert the CD into the CD drive, go to the Installation page and click on the Network button. (Note that this installation is for file sharing only and not for running the program. If you want to run ETABS on this computer you will also need to complete a client installation per step C.)

C. Install the Client Software

1. Run "Setup.exe, located in the "ETABS 9 Server" folder on the network server, from each workstation. This will copy support files to the workstation and set up a link to ETABS on the server. 2. Alternatively, you can run the standalone installation on each workstation and have all the ETABS files installed locally. To do this, insert the CD into the CD drive, go to the Installation page and click on the Standalone button. 3. If ETABS is slow in locating the license (or can't find it), set the System Environmental Variable LSFORCEHOST on the workstation to the host name of the computer running the License Manager software. Reboot the workstation for the Environment Variable to take effect. Refer to the System Administrators Help if you need help on setting this variable.

B. Install the License Manager Software

1. The communications protocol is TCP/IP. 2. The CD also contains the Sentinel RMS License Manager version 8. You must install this version to recognize a ETABS 9 License. If you are currently running an earlier version of SentinelLM, then it should be uninstalled prior to installing this version. Note that all commuter licenses should be checked in before uninstalling the old version. Click on the License Manager button on the CD and follow the instructions to install it. (Note that you can install this software on any Windows NT/2000/XP computer on your network; it does not have to be installed on a server.) If you have uninstalled an earlier version of SentinelLM, you must copy the existing license file "lservrc" (from the English folder) to the newly created folder and run "loadls.exe" to Remove and then Add the service. This will register your "lservrc" file with the new version of SentinelLM. 3. A 30-day temporary license for one user is included with the package. To register the temporary license, double click "lsLicense.bat" located in the "ETABS 9 Server\License Manager" folder which was installed in Step A. 4. For more detailed information about the Sentinel RMS License Manager or the License Manager Administration Program "WlmAdmin, see the System Administrator's Help which can be accessed from Start > All Programs > Computers and Structures > ETABS 9 Server. It will be available after Step A above.

D. To Obtain a Network License File

You will need the files "Echoid.exe" and "Echoid.dat" on the computer running the License Manager software. These files are installed on the ETABS server computer in the "ETABS 9 Server\License Manager" folder. If the License Manager software is installed on a computer different from the ETABS server computer then they must be copied to the License Manager computer. Locked to a Computer: Locate and run Echoid.exe. Copy the Locking Code 1 to the Computer Disk ID Locking Code field on the License Request Form. Locked to a Computer ID Key: Attach the Computer ID Key to your computer. Then locate and run Echoid.exe. Copy the Locking Code 2 to the Computer ID Key Locking Code field on the License Request Form. Fax or email the completed License Request Form to CSI. A license file and instructions will be emailed to you.
