Installation Notes

IP Database Format
The IP database has changed between versions 3.5 and 3.4 and while version 3.5 will
read a 3.4 database version 3.4 will not read a 3.5 database. Any 3.4 database will be
converted to a 3.5 compatible format the first time the program saves data into a well
data file.

It is not necessary to un-install an older version of IP before loading version 3.5,


IP version 3.5 default installation paths are:

 For Windows XP: C:\Program Files\IntPetro35

 For Windows Vista: C:\Program Files (x86)\IntPetro35

It is recommended that you install Version 3.5 to this new folder if you would like to keep
your existing version 3.4 intact.

There are different versions of Windows Vista (Vista Business / Vista Ultimate, for
example). If you have issues with installing IP with these Operating Systems then try
switching off the UAC and installing IP. Seek a competent local Windows Vista IT expert
to help with this. Alternatively, use this website – http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-
to-disable-UAC .

When installing version 3.5 please log on as the System Administrator. The install
program needs to register some DLL’s and install the ‘Microsoft .Net Framework’
which may be prohibited by the operating system for certain user logons. The Install
process should warn you if you do not have Administrator Rights on your computer.

Microsoft .NET Framework V2.0


IP v3.5 requires the ‘Microsoft .Net Framework V2.0’, if it is not already installed on
your PC it will be installed for you.

Microsoft DirectX V9c


DirectX 9c with Managed Components is now required for the IP ‘Map View’ display
and ‘3D Image Viewer’ modules. The install will prompt you to install DirectX
components if DirectX is not detected on your computer. If you choose to install DirectX
9c it will be installed on your PC during the Installation process. If you choose not to
install DirectX at this time you can manually run the “DXSETUP.exe” from the
C:\Program Files\IntPetro\DirectX9 folder and also run MDXredist.msi from the same
folder.

Licence upgrade

IP version 3.5 cannot be activated without a license upgrade.

If you have not already requested the license upgrade, please contact your SIS Account
Manager or local SIS Helpdesk and request that your IP license max version be
upgraded to version 3.5. Please include your name, email, and IP license keycode. The
IP license keycode is a 5 to 7 digit number and can be found by opening up your previous
version of IP and choosing Tools > Program Protection > View Protection Options where
Customer ID is the IP license keycode.

If you have made this upgrade request, have received email confirmation that your IP
license upgrade has been completed, and have a standalone IP license setup, then enter
the IP application, go to Tools > Program Protection > Update Protection Options to
update your license file.

If you have made this IP license upgrade request, have received confirmation that your IP
license upgrade has been completed, and you have a server type IP license setup, then
please consult the document “Server Installation Notes IP security.doc” which will be in
C:\Program Files\IntPetro35\Server Installation Files folder (XP) once IP has been
installed or contact your local SIS Helpdesk.

If you have any questions regarding this IP license upgrade, please contact the IP User
Manual or your local SIS Helpdesk. SIS Helpdesk locations can be found by logging into
the SIS Support Portal at http://support.slb.com, then choosing “Contact your Local
Support Center” on left menu. Registering on SIS Support Portal is a one-time event.

Copy Control Licences


IP version 3.5 will not work with the ‘Copy Control’ (CC) security system (Customer
ID’s start with letters ‘BU’). If you are currently using this system you will need to contact
your local Schlumberger account representative to obtain a new license for the ‘IP
Proprietary’ (IP) system.
