Network Installation Instructions

A. Install the SAP2000 Software

C. Install the Client Software

1. Start the SAP2000 browser and go to the installation page. Click the Network button. (Note that this installation is for file sharing only and not for running the program. If you want to run SAP2000 on this computer you will need to complete a client installation per step C below.)

1. Run Setup.exe, located in the SAP2000 15 Server folder from each workstation. This will copy support files to the workstation and set up a link to SAP2000 on the server. Note for Vista and Windows 7 users: Setup.exe must be Run as Administrator (use right button click on Setup.exe) 2. Alternatively, you can run the Standalone installation on each workstation and have all the SAP2000 files installed locally. To do this start the SAP2000 browser, go to the Installation page and click on the Standalone button. 3. If SAP2000 is slow in locating the license (or cant find it), set the System Environmental Variable LSFORCEHOST or LSHOST 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 setting this variable.

B. Install the License Manager Software

1. The communications protocol is TCP/IP. 2. The browser also contains Sentinel RMS License Manager version 8.4.1. This must be installed in order to recognize a network license. If you are currently running an earlier version of SentinelLM, 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 and follow the instructions. (Note that you can install this software on any Windows computer on your network; it does not have to be installed on a server.) 3. A 30-day temporary license for one network user is installed with the software. To register the temporary license, double click IsLicense.bat located in the SAP2000 15 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 Systems Administrators Help which can be accessed from Start > All Programs > Computers and Structures> SAP2000 15 Server. It will be available after Step A above.
