License Wizard installation
Details of the Installation Process for the License Wizard

In order to install the program, you must have administration rights for the machine. Contact your
System Administrator to check whether you have administration rights, or to obtain these rights.
The License Wizard standalone installation package is available with most DNV Software products
like the Phast 6.6 DVD, the Orbit 2.6 CD or as a compressed file named License_Wizard_3_1.zip to
download from the Safeti Technical Support website (http://212.124.240.100/software).
Installation from a CD or DVD (the most convenient way):
1. Insert the CD/DVD media into the CD/DVD reader.
2. Wait until the browser starts and displays the main product page. Some systems do not
provide automatic start-up after a media is inserted. In this case, start a Windows File
Explorer and open the index.htm from the CD/DVD root.
3. Click on the Installation page.
4. Click on the link License Wizard.
5. The installer should start, please refer to the section The License Wizard Installation Stages
Installing from a downloaded file:
1. Create an empty folder somewhere on your local drive.
2. Unzip the downloaded file into an empty folder. If you are using Windows File Explorer,
please open the zip file, select all files and drag them into the newly created empty folder.
Running the installation from within the zip file without decompressing it can cause
failure in a later stage.
3. Go to the newly created folder where all the files were extracted and double-click on
README (sometimes the name is displayed as README.htm).
4. From the page, you could view this document or start the installation.
5. Click on the link to start the License Wizard installation.
6. The installer should start, please refer to the section The License Wizard Installation Stages
Things to be aware of
The following installation issues are detailed in the Known Issues section near the end of this
document.
License Server Setup not performed
FLEXlm incompatibility
Installation timeout
Administrator Rights needed
Installation while the User is not connected to the Organization Network
64-bit Operating Systems
Virtualisation
USB Security Key inserted before installing the Licence Wizard
Add a License File without Administrator Rights
Request a License without Administrator Rights
The License Wizard Installation Stages

Before running the installation it is recommended you read the Known Issues section near the end of
this document.
The dialogs below may look slightly different depending on the operating system.
File download prompt
The link in the installation tab is connected to a
setup program for performing the installation, and
when you click on the link a dialog will appear as
shown, asking what you want to do with the script
file.
To proceed with the installation, you should click
on Run.
Internet Explorer prompt

This will appear depending on the security level
setting.
To proceed with the installation, you should click
on Run.
Setup.exe purpose
The program setup.exe checks your system and starts to install any pre-requisites (required third-party
components) not already on the machine and finally it runs the main License Wizard installation.
Some pre-requisites have specific license agreements that you will have to accept before their
installation can proceed. A failure in running setup.exe and proceeding directly to the main Licence
Wizard installation will result on an installation failure.
You system may already have some of the third-party components installed, in this case, the related
license agreement and installation step will not be performed. Windows XP SP2 prompts for 1 license
agreement, 4 additional components and possibly 1 reboot whereas a clean Windows 7 prompts for 4
additional components and no reboot.
The following steps are for a system running a clean Windows XP SP2 with no additional software
other than Microsoft XP SP2.
.NET Framework 2.0 License Agreement

The next screen contains the license agreement
from Microsoft.
You must read this and register your acceptance

of the agreement by clicking the button Accept.
Additional Components to Be Installed
Depending on your system, some components
may not be listed as they already exist and do not
need to be re-installed.
You must click on the button Install to proceed

and start the installation of all these third-party
components.
Setup.exe will start the installation of each third-party component in order. The system may prompt
you to reboot several times and several security warning message may appear on Windows Vista and
Windows 7 depending on the system security level setting. The whole process can take up about 10
minutes on some operating systems.
Copy installations
Setup may be fairly busy copying the installations
locally before running them. If so, the dialog may
fail to refresh and display the Copying
message. This step may take several minutes.
User Account Control Prompt

In Windows Vista and Windows 7, any
installation step must be approved. Failure to
click Yes within 90 seconds would lead to
installation failure as described in the section
Known Issues.
Click on Yes to continue with the installation.
Pre-requisites installations
For all pre-requisites a similar progress bar will
be displayed. Some of them may take several
minutes to complete.
There is no need for any interaction. Clicking on
Cancel would abort and reverse the current prerequisite installation and the overall installation
will be aborted.
Boot Prompt
Some installation steps force a reboot.
When the machine is running again, please log in
as the same user in order for setup to continue
with the next installation step.
Click on Yes to reboot.
After all pre-requisites are installed, the main License Wizard installation will start.
Start of the License Wizard Installation
First the Windows Installer copies the installation
file locally.
User Account Control Prompt

On Windows Vista and Windows 7, any
installation step must be approved. Failure to
click Yes within 90 seconds would lead to
installation failure as describes in the section
Known Issues.
Click on Yes to continue with the installation.
Installation progress Dialog

The bar should progress fairly quickly toward
completion.
Installation Complete Dialog

The last screen in the installation tells you that the
process is complete. Check that the text explicitly
says has successfully installed. The Completed
dialog looks very similar in case of installation
failure.
Click on Close to terminate the installation

process.
License setup
Setting up a License for DNV Software Product

Do I Need to Request a License File from DNV Software?
You will not need to request a FLEXlm1 license file if your existing license file is valid for the features
of the product that you wish to use, or if the process of requesting a license file has already been
performed by the System Administrator.
Some types of license2 are specific to a machine and all licensing is handled locally on that machine. If
you have arranged with DNV Software to use this type of license, you would normally set up the
licensing yourself on your machine.
Other types of license are specific to a Security Key (sometimes called a dongle) that can be moved
between machines, or are handled by a network server and not by the individual machines that are
running the licensed product. For these types of license the System Administrator may handle the
process of obtaining the license file from DNV Software, and then making the file available to users of
the DNV Software product.
The process of requesting a license file is described in the next section.
If you are going to use a valid license file already imported into your machine, you do not need to take
any action to set up the licence and can start to use the DNV Software product immediately.
If you are going to use a file supplied by your System Administrator or from a previous request, you
can omit the stage of requesting a license file and proceed immediately to the final stage: Import a
licence file using the License Wizard
Request a License File using the License Wizard

In order to run the License Wizard, you must have administration rights for the machine. Contact your
Please refer to the section Request a License without Administrator Rights in the Known Issues
later in this document for a possible workaround.
Insert Security Key
If DNV Software provided you with a

Security Key (sometimes called a Dongle),
please insert it into the USB port and wait
about 10-30 seconds until your operating
system identifies it in the notification bar
(zone at the bottom right of the screen).
FLEXlm is a technology developed by Flexera Software and used by DNV Software to manage license.
License types are Floating (sometimes called Concurrent or Network), Standalone or Security Key. Floating
and Standalone licenses are called Network licenses in this document and they require specific setting as
described in the section Setting a Windows Service. The Network license file contains the line VENDOR
dnvslm.

Known Issues
Known Issues
License Server Setup not performed
The License Wizard does not currently configure a License Server which manages licence requests. A
provided document called Network License Server Setup details how to set the server manually. The
document can be accessed from the Windows Start menu as shown below, while importing a licence
that requires a server setup or from the path:
C:\Program Files\DNV\FLEXlm\RMS_LicMgt\Network_License_Server_Setup.pdf
FLEXlm incompatibility
Old versions of DNV Software products included old FLEXlm versions. This License Wizard
installation includes the licensing technologies FLEXlm 11.5 from Flexera (formerly Macrovision).
New features such as borrowing or USB dongles are not compatible with old DNV software versions
released prior to July 2008.
In addition, any Windows service related to licensing (service name RMS_LICENSE_service or
DNVS_LICENCE_service) must be updated to the latest version includes in this installation in order to
process the new features.
Installation timeout
On Microsoft Vista and Windows 7, each installation step triggers a security message similar to:
21
Known Issues
If this message is not acknowledged by clicking on Yes within 90 seconds, the installation will abort
and the following message will appear:
The above picture has the details expanded (by clicking on the button Details>>) and the installer
reports that the installation was cancelled by the user has the security message was not acknowledged.
Exit by clicking on Close.
In this case, you will have to restart the License Wizard installation. Then the remaining pre-requisites
(required third-party components) will be installed.
Depending on your system and the product you are installing, there are up to 16 security messages.
Administrator Rights needed

The License Wizard cannot be run without the user having administrator rights for the local machine.
See a possible workaround later in section Add a License File without Administrator Rights
Installation while the User is not connected to the Organization

Network
Installation may fail if the user is working offline. In this case the installation will produce the
following error or similar message:
There are various workarounds to overcome this issue:
Connect to your network. If you are at your office, connecting to the missing network resource
by joining your domain/network (plugging in an Ethernet cable or switching on your wireless
connection) or if you are not in the office, using a Virtual Private Network connection over the
internet will overcome the issue.
In some cases making offline files available can overcome the issue as it simulates the
presence of the network resource when you are not connected to the network. To switch on
Offline Files capability start Windows File Explorer and choose the menu item Tools > Folder
Options > Offline Files. Check the box Enable Offline Files.
22
Known Issues
You can then proceed with the License Wizard installation. It is advisable to switch the
unused offline files capability off again once the License Wizard is installed if it is not your
usual practice.
64-bit Operating Systems

The License Wizard has been reported to run on Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit. If you experience any
problem, please contact DNV Software Helpdesk for further information.
Virtualisation
There are several issues running the License Wizard on a virtualization operating system (Citrix,
VMware, Virtual Pc, XP Mode under Windows 7, etc). The License Wizard is not supported under
any operating system virtualization.
USB Security Key inserted before installing the License Wizard

If the USB Security Key, sometimes called dongle, is inserted into the USB port before the License
Wizard is installed it will cause the key not to be recognized. After License Wizard installation is
completed the USB Security Key can be inserted into the USB port and will be automatically
recognized by the system. Failure to follow this process would require the driver currently used by the
operating system to be uninstalled. Please contact DNV Software Helpdesk for advice.
Request a License without Administrator Rights

The Licence Wizard requires the user to have Administrator Rights on the local machine. This section
explains how to retrieve the data needed to issuing a license from the DNV Software license
administrator.
These steps use the Windows Command Prompt utility, if you are not familiar with the tool, please
seek for assistance from your IT Helpdesk.
23
Known Issues
Start the Windows Command Prompt

Start the Command Prompt utility: from the
Windows Start menu:
click on Run
in the field, type cmd.exe
click on OK
A new window with a DOS prompt will appear.
Run three commands

For the DOS prompt, type the following commands (including the double quotes)
C:\Program Files\DNV\FLEXlm\Utils\lmhostid.exe ether >info1.txt
C:\Program Files\DNV\FLEXlm\Utils\lmhostid.exe flexid >info2.txt
IPCONFIG /all >info3.txt
DIR info*.txt
Please note the path returned by the last command. Here is the typical outcome on Windows XP SP2.
The command to type are in the red box and the path in the green box, that is C:\Documents and
Settings\Astrator
24
Known Issues
Email the information to DNV Software License

Administror
Email Software.support@dnv.com your license
request with:
any details such as the product name and

its version,
the three files created during the previous

step.
This concludes the license request workaround.
Add a License File without Administrator Rights

The Licence Wizard requires the user to have Administrator Rights on the local machine. This section
explains how to add a licence file to your machine.
The workaround will only work for Security Key2 license. For Standalone2 or Floating2 licenses the
License Wizard must be used.
Using the Windows File Explorer, please copy the licence file in the following folder:
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DNVS\Licences
Windows Vista and Windows 7 (File Explorer may not display the folder ProgramData):
C:\ProgramData\DNVS\Licences
For DNV Software products released before June 2010, whatever the operating system (the
folder may have to be created first.)
C:\FLEXlm
This concludes the workaround for importing a license file with administrator rights.
