Delivering the client software to your end-users

For the purpose of this document, client software refers to Trimble applications such as ProDesign,
Protect, PowerNet, and Amtech Office.

Trimble desktop applications (2016 or later) include both product activation and a FLEXnet licensing
client. Trimble/Amtech Mobile applications do not use FLEXnet.
No special versions of the Trimble installation DVD are required.
Both licensing models cannot be used on the same PC. If FLEXnet is enabled, product activation is
disabled.

Trimble does provide a DVD based client install for concurrent licensed software using FLEXnet, but
also understands that many IT departments will want to package Trimble software or provide more
convenient means of delivery.

Some of these methods are described below.

1. Installing Trimble software direct from the Trimble DVD

This process is similar to the single-user, product activation install. Trimble uses installshield
and does not provide MSI installations.

Run Setup.exe from the DVD and follow the instructions provided by the install program.

When asked for license number use one of the following numbers:
• 367855241 (for Designer Suite, ProDesign, Analysis Pack installations)
• 459633452 (for Amtech Office, FastTest, GasCert installations)
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LICENSE NUMBER. These are special codes that are used
solely to enable the FLEXnet installation.

When asked for the FLEXnet Server Details, enter the server name or IP and port details you
provided on the Trimble License Request Form. This should be entered in one of the
following forms:
port@ip_address
port@servername
port@server_FQDN

If you intend to use active directory, you may leave this blank.
When asked to select the products to install, you are advised to install all. In this way,
additional products can be used without reinstalling if additional licenses are purchased.

2. Copying the DVD contents to a network share.

The complete contents of DVD should be copied to a network folder and shared read-only.
Even if you already have items such as Acrobat Reader on your client PCs you should not
remove them from the shared folder. Setup.exe can be run on the client PC via your network
share. Follow the directions for Installing Trimble software direct from the DVD.

3. Packaging/SMS etc
Trimble does not provide SMS scripts or pre-packaged product, however, it will provide
limited assistance should you decide to use this method. A brief overview of settings,
Trimble Software and Active Directory is available on request.

4. Active Directory
Trimble does not currently provide an active directory template for installation parameters;
however, Trimble products are active directory aware. A brief overview of settings, Trimble
Software and Active Directory is available on request.
