This license manager must be used in conjunction with a license key file (licens

e.txt)
and
- a USB port lock, or
- a parallel port lock, or
- a serial port lock,
which are obtained separately from the HVDC Centre.
An HVDC License Manager must be installed and running ON ONLY ONE MACHINE ON YOU

The \Windows (or \Winnt) directory contains a file called lmgrd.ini.

ce Manager,
- To change the port on which the USB, parallel, or serial port lock device is
attached.
