What is the Hardware Key?

The hardware key protects your investment and ours, and allows multiple people to use the
software without violating the license agreement. Your PTW software will include one of these
keys, and will not run without it. However, once you have installed the key, you can forget
about itthe key does its job automatically. The network hardware key needs to be installed on
a Windows server or computer that is always on. This server must also have a static LAN IP
address that can always be reached by the workstations.

Should I Install PTW on the Server or the Workstations?

You have two options for installing and running PTW on a network:
1. Install PTW on each workstation. This is recommended so that users can take advantage of their
workstation’s processing power for better software performance. This is also preferable if you want each
user to have his or her own set of libraries.
2. Install PTW on a shared server and run PTW on each workstation using a shortcut to that file server. This
is preferable if you want everyone to use the same set of libraries.

If you use option 2, you will need to install the Advanced Features SKM to every workstation. Advanced Features
include special reporting fonts, Crystal Reports, SKMPDF, etc.).

2. Click the “Install Power*Tools for Windows (PTW) Software” option. (Note that the other options are not
required to be installed unless directed by SKM Technical Support.)

software, especially if this is the first time you are installing PTW.

The first time you install PTW, you should select all the options.

 Part 1:
Getting the
server to
broadcast
the
hardware
key

1. Obtain the latest License Manager software from www.skm.com and click on Downloads. The name of the
License Manager is HASPUserSetup.exe.

2. Run HASPUserSetup.exe and once the installation finishes, attach the USB key to the server.

3. Make note of the server IP address as it will be used to configure the software.

 Part 2:
Getting the
software to
see the
hardware
key

If your workstations will run PTW using a shortcut to the shared server or computer, you only need to perform the
following steps on that machine.
If your workstations will have PTW installed to locally, you need to repeat these steps on each workstation which has
PTW installed.

1. Go to the \PTW32\LIB folder and look for NETHASPIP_.INI.

2. Rename the file from "nethaspip_.ini" to "nethaspip.ini" (Delete the underscore in the filename.)

3. Double-click the file and open it with Notepad. In the first line, type IP, xxx.xxx.xx.xx where the x refers to the
server IP address:

Example: IP,192.168.20.31

4. Save the NETHASPIP.INI file and close it.

5. Start PTW will run on the workstation. When prompted, select Network Hardware Key and the licensed
modules that you have purchased.

6. If PTW does not run, conduct an aggressive search:

a) Run HASPUserSetup.exe on the workstation.

b) Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:1947 Click on Configuration > Access to Remote License
Managers.
c) Enter the server IP address, check Aggressive Search for Remote Licenses, and click on Submit.
d) Wait 1 minute and then start PTW. When prompted, select Network Hardware Key and the licensed
modules that you have purchased.

Monitoring the Hardware Key & Users

Part 3(optional):
Admin Control
Center, User
List, Logging

On the server where the key is attached, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:1947.

Click on Sentinel Keys on the left side panel. From here, you will be able to view available study modules and any
users connected to the licenses, which you click on Sessions.

The following table contains the program number along with the corresponding study module.

Workstation users can also access the License Manager by going to http://localhost:1947 (provided that
HASPUserSetup.exe was installed on their workstation). Make sure “Allow Remote Access to ACC” is checked on
the server.

Logging
Click on Configuration on the left-hand side. Check the boxes to enable “Write an Access Log File”, “Include Local
Requests”, “Include Remote Requests”.

What if I Want to Use the Network Key Temporarily as a Local Key?
Occasionally you might want to use the network key locally—for example, if you have a laptop computer and want
to take the network key home. You can install PTW on the computer as you normally would, but once PTW is
installed you will need to install the standalone driver for the hardware key.

1. To install the driver, you can run C:\PTW32\bin\HASPUserSetup.exe with Full Administrative Rights
NOTE: HASPUserSetup.exe can also be located on our website (http://www.skm.com/downloads.html)

2. Configure C:\PTW32\lib\nethaspip.ini. Refer to Part 2 above for step-by-step instructions. Use 127.0.0.1 as the
IP address of your local machine. Otherwise, use your Computer Host Name as the server address.

3. Start PTW32 and when prompted, select "Network Hardware Key".
