3. INSTALLATION OF OLGA
The installation program installs all the necessary components for OLGA and the Graphical
User Interface (GUI).
The installation verifies that all the required software components are installed when installing
OLGA.
If you do not have the correct version of .NET Framework installed, you are guided to the
download page for .Net 4.6.1.
If any of the Visual C++ redistributables are missing, the installation installs these.
When the installation of OLGA starts, follow the instructions on-screen. You can select
between a Quick installation and a Custom installation. The quick installation selects default
components and installs to the default installation folder without any further user interaction.
The following components are included in the default installation:
OLGA GUI
OLGA Engine
License Manager - SPT License Handler is a license administration tool that utilizes
the FlexLM license control system. FlexLM license control must be installed to run
OLGA, see chapter 4 for details on the installation of SPT License Handler
Microsoft MPI (MS-MPI)
OLGA Namespace Explorer
RMO – Risk Management and Optimization
OLGA-S and Multiphase toolkit
Multiflash
Desktop shortcut
In custom installation, you select which components to install and you can also set the
installation folder. The OLGA GUI and OLGA Engine will always be installed. In addition to the
components in a default installation, you can select to install the following components:
OLGA-SDK
OPC servers for non-admin users
OLGA Excel tool (requires Microsoft Excel)
Note: Make sure that you include all components that you need. If you later want to add
additional components, you must uninstall and then install again with the correct set of
components.
OLGA Installation guide Page 5
If you select OPC servers for non-admin users, five OPC servers are installed (named
OLGAOPCServer, OLGAOPCServer1, OLGAOPCServer2, OLGAOPCServer3 and
OLGAOPCServer4). Use this option to enable users without administrator privileges to run
OLGA simulations using these OPC servers in SERVEROPTIONS.
By default this option is cleared, that is, users must have administrator privileges to run OLGA
simulations using an OPC server.
MS-MPI is required for submodeling and for the ECLIPSE link. If Microsoft HPC Pack 2008
MS-MPI is installed on the PC, you must remove it manually before you install MS-MPI v7 (a
warning is given during the installation). If an earlier version of MS-MPI is installed, the
installer asks if you want to upgrade to v7. If you run the installer in silent mode, MPI is not
installed. You can select not to install the MPI redistributable by clearing the check box in the
Custom installation dialog box.
If you select OLGA-SDK, the development kit for OLGA extensions is installed. If this
component is selected, you are asked to confirm that you want to install this component later
in the installation. The required software components for installing the OLGA-SDK are:
By default the OLGA-SDK is not installed. Refer to the OLGA GUI User manual and the
Extension developer guide for more details on OLGA extensions.
OLGA GUI

By default, Windows 8 does not include .NET 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0). However, if you
upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8, .NET Framework 3.5 is fully enabled. Do the
following to make sure that this feature is enabled:
3. Select the .NET Framework 3.5 check box and click OK.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443(v=vs.110).aspx
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2785188
Note: SPT License Handler (FlexLM), OLGA-S, OLGA Excel tool, OLGA Namespace Explorer
and OLGA-SDK are installed as separate components. To remove these components, locate
them in the list and click Uninstall.
If OLGA is running, you are asked to close OLGA before the uninstallation can continue.
If any of the other tools that are installed with OLGA are running while you uninstall OLGA,
you do not get a warning message. Some files from these tools might not be removed after
the uninstallation is complete, but you can safely delete these files manually.
Note: For OLGA 2014.2 and later, previous patch installations of OLGA are not uninstalled
when you install a new version of OLGA.

4.1 Requirements
The license control requires that TCP/IP is installed and started on your PC. See section 4.7
for information about verifying this.
Select Option A if you install OLGA and have a license file that is valid for the same machine
as you use to run OLGA. You will get a local license server that handles your license
Select Option B if your company has a network license server serving all OLGA installations.
You can change this option later by using the License Handler. The sections below give some
more details about Options A and B.
Note: You need administrator privileges to install a local license server. If you do not have
administrative privileges, this option is disabled.
OLGA Installation guide Page 8
Usually, default settings for the local license server are given by the installation. If the status
indicator is a green check mark (see below), close the dialog box and start using OLGA.
If the setup is unsuccessful, or you want to change the default settings, click Configure. The
License server configuration dialog box shown below is displayed:
Any problems in the license server setup are described in the Local license server status
section. You can change the following settings.
This setting tells OLGA where to look for the license server. The location must be given in the
format <port>@<host>.
<port> is the port number used by FlexLM. This is usually not used in the license files.
<host> is the name of your PC. Click Add local server to let the program determine
the name of your server.
Example: @myserver
You can specify the location of several license servers by separating each location with a
semicolon. This might be needed if you do not have all the licenses on your PC. If some
licenses only are available from a network server, you can append the location of the network
license server after your local license server.
License Folder
This setting tells the license server where to find the license files. Enter only the path to the
license folder to enable the use of multiple license files. The license server looks for license
files with *.lic extension in the given license folder. The default location is C:\Program
Files\SPT Group\Licenses.
OLGA Installation guide Page 9
FlexLM Folder
The FlexLM folder contains the license daemons; lmgrd.exe and scplmd.exe. The default
location is C:\Program Files\SPT Group\FlexLM.
The license server is usually installed after an OLGA installation. You can use this option if,
for some reason, the license server is uninstalled. All the settings described above must be
given before installing the license server.
Note: The license daemons are not removed, but the license server is stopped. You can
install it again by clicking Install license server.
You must restart the license server if a new license file is added to the license folder.
Instead of running a local license server, you can connect to a company-wide license server.
This enables several users to share a pool of floating licenses. To configure your PC to use
an existing network license server, select Connect to a network license server and click
Configure.
Enter the location of the network server. The location must be given in the format
<port>@<host> e.g. @server1.
<port> is the port number used by FlexLM. This port number can be set in the license
file.
<host> is the name of the license server. Consult the server responsible or the license
file located on the server.
You can specify the location of several license servers by separating them with a semicolon.
OLGA Installation guide Page 10
The Schlumberger License Server must be installed manually, if needed. We recommend that
you use the latest version.
To access the Schlumberger Licensing Server, unzip the OLGA installation zip file, and open
the folder SLBLicenseServer<version>.
The Schlumberger License Server is used to license Multiflash technology in OLGA. It can be
installed in parallel with the SPT License Handler, and both license servers can be run on the
same PC.
Only 4.0 client profile is required if you do not install OLGA Namespace Explorer or SLB
License Manager.
Details on how to configure the Schlumberger Licensing are available in the Schlumberger
Licensing User Guide:
The OLGA installation comprises both a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version of RMO. The
version installed depends on the operating system on your PC. This is handled automatically
by the installer.
1. Start the License Manager from the FlexLM subfolder under the OLGA folder at the
Start menu.
2. Click Configure.
Note: If the license file is for your local PC, save it locally. If the license file is for a common
server, save it on the server.
The hostname (this_host) can be changed to reflect the actual hostname/computername. This
is necessary if you receive the error ‘FlexLM error: -95,…’ when trying to run a licensed
program.
Find out if TCP/IP is installed on your PC (in Control Panel - Services), then do one of the
following.
If TCP/IP is installed and started, obtain the license information as described above.
If TCP/IP is installed but not started, start the TCP/IP service, and obtain the license
information.
If TCP/IP is not installed, but the PC has a network adapter, install TCP/IP.
TCP/IP is found on the Windows installation CD. Installation should be simple. Select
Control Panel - Network and follow the instructions on-screen. Consult your Windows
documentation, or your system administrator.
If you cannot run a license daemon on your PC, contact the Schlumberger support center at
https://www.software.slb.com/support for further assistance. Usually, however, you can use
the standard licensing strategy, and complete the installation according to one of the four
situations mentioned above.
