Installing a FEMAP Floating Network Client License
Before you install the Floating Network Client version of FEMAP, you must have one of
the following:
- The name of the computer on your network that has been configured to act as the Network
License Server.
- The same license file that is used on the Network License Server.
Once you have this information follow the following steps to get FEMAP up and running:
- Start FEMAP - since you are not licensed, FlexLM itself will come up and try to help
configure FEMAP to run -:

Whatever you do, do not go into this Dialog Box at all, Press Cancel to
continue into FEMAP unlicensed.
- Although you are not licensed, FEMAP will start, first displaying the following errors
to let you know that FEMAP was not able to check out a FlexLM license:

- Press OK in both of these boxes to proceed into FEMAP. Once in, Select Help -
About from the FEMAP menu, FEMAP will display the Help About Dialong Box:

- In the Help - About Dialog Box, press the Security Button, FEMAP will bring up the
Network License Information Dialog Box:

If you have access to the license file, fill in the complete path and filename in the
License File line, if you have only the machine name of the License Server, type in the
name of the machine, preceeded by the @ character. In the example shown above, the
machine called "FileServer" on the local TCP/IP network is the FEMAP/FlexLM
license server. Press OK in the Network License Information Dialog Box, and OK in
the FEMAP Help - About Dialog Box. At this point you will be in FEMAP and be
licensed. It is best to actually exit FEMAP and start again, first to make sure that
you will be able to do so in the future, and second to initialize any optional modules
that were allowed via the setting in your license file.
