1 Using Existing 10.2 Licenses with G/Technology products G/Technology Licensing Instructions Existing 10.2 licenses will run the software. However, before initializing the software, you will need to download and install the Intergraph License Administrator 2015 tool from download.hexagon.com. The download is available under Product Family>G/Technology or Product>G/Technology Core. (If you are licensing products, you should follow these instructions plus the ones beginning on page 10.) NOTE: If you select Intergraph Licensing 2015 from the Product Family>Other Product Downloads to download, the tool is the same, but the first few screens refer to Hexagon Geospatial Portfolio and you will be asked to submit customer information prior to downloading. If you download this tool instead of the one under G/Technology, there will be no impact to your licensing or the manner in which the tool operates. Installing and Running the Intergraph License Administrator Tool To view the details of and download the Intergraph License Administrator tool, go to: download.hexagon.com and select G/Technology from the Product Family. Select Intergraph License Administrator Click Download. The download will begin automatically. Once the download is completed, use your.zip file opener to unzip the download.

7 You can now begin to setup your license service. To view the Host ID of your server, click Server and then License Host ID. The following screen will appear and display the available Host IDs: Page 7 of 21

8 You will use one of the Host IDs to generate your license file. Note: The Vendor Defined Hardware ID value will only be displayed if you have a SafeNet dongle attached to the computer. Once you have a valid license file saved to the machine, you will use the Import License File function found by clicking File. (To generate a license, see page 10 for concurrent licenses and page 17 for nodelocked licenses). This will open Windows Explorer. Page 8 of 21

9 Browse to the location where you saved the license file. Select the license file and click Open. The license file is now loaded on the server and is ready to be distributed to connecting client machines. Below is an example display of a functioning license service. To connect a client system to the server holding the licenses, you will run the All Applications Configuration Wizard on each client system to specify the license source. Page 9 of 21

10 Purchasing new licenses or additional licenses When you purchase new or additional licenses of any G/Technology product, the license will reflect the latest version, Note the licenses are backwardly compatible with version 10.2, therefore you will simply generate your new licenses and import them into the license server using the Intergraph License Administrator tool. However, there is a change in the Host ID type for Changes in Licensing for G/Technology The release of the G/Technology suite brings a small change in the way these products are licensed. The previous version, 10.2, used the INGRTS vendor daemon, but for: Nodelocked licenses, the COMPOSITE ID required the VENDOR_DEFINED Host ID type to be selected. With this selected, you would then key in COMPOSITE= prior to the value. Concurrent licenses, the only allowed Host ID type was INTERNET. You would enter the Static TCP/IP address of the server to generate a license. This is no longer the case as now uses the same Common Licensing platform as the rest of Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure and Hexagon Geospatial licensed products. The following example displays how customers will generate licenses for G/Technology Concurrent Licensing Process for G/Technology Before you begin the license generation process, you must have your License Authentication Code (LAC) and the Host ID of the machine. To obtain the required Host ID, go to Start > All Programs > Intergraph Licensing > Intergraph License Host ID. You will copy the Host ID displayed and use it when generating the license file. Page 10 of 21

11 Log into the licensing web portal using your LAC at: licensing.hexagonsafetyinfrastructure.com/flexnet/operationsportal G/Technology Licensing Instructions Select the Generate Licenses tab. For this example, you are generating one concurrent license for GAdministrator and 20 concurrent licenses for GNetViewer. Place a check by both and select Generate. Note: Concurrent and nodelocked licenses can t be generated at the same time because the process is slightly different. Page 11 of 21

12 You have the option to consolidate the generated license files. The default option is No, but we recommend selecting Yes if both licenses are going on the same machine. If you would like to receive the license file from an , enter your address in the space provided by Ship to . If not, you will have the option to save the license file to the machine later. Click Next. Select Add New Host to enter the Host ID: Page 12 of 21

AMZ_EIP = The AMZN_EIP Host ID permits license server operation in AMAZON EC2 (public cloud) environments with binding to an elastic IP address. In order to use this Host ID type, you must have an AMAZON account with an AMAZON assigned ID. COMPOSITE = This is the value that is derived using the License Host ID action within the Intergraph License Administration tool. It is the most commonly used Host ID. VENDOR_DEFINED = you will select this option of a Host ID if your organization is using an Intergraph USB key. This value is derived from the License Host ID action within the Intergraph License Administration tool. With a hardware key inserted into the machine, a value will display in the Vendor Defined Hardware ID field. Page 13 of 21

14 Enter the value obtained from the License Host ID action in the Intergraph License Administration tool and click OK. The Host ID will populate. Place a check by the Host ID, and then click Next. Page 14 of 21

15 In this example, we are generating one license for GAdministrator and 20 licenses for GNetViewer that will be used on the server with Host ID 5FCFEB03F587. You will enter 1 for GAdministrator and 20 for GNetViewer in each space provided under the Fulfill Count column. This will leave 5 copies of GNetViewer and 1 copy of GAdministrator available to generate. Enter the count of licenses to be activated and select Next. Page 15 of 21

18 You will not see the option to consolidate the license file this time. Previously, we had generated a license for multiple products. This would have created multiple license files had we not selected to consolidate them. Since we are only attempting to generate a license for one product, the consolidation option is not available. However, if you have multiple nodelocked licensed products residing on the same machine, you will have the option to consolidate. Again, you have the option to provide an address to which the license file will be delivered. Click Next. Select Add New Host to enter the Host ID: Page 18 of 21

20 The Host ID will populate. Place a check by the Host ID, and then click Generate. In the previous section, we entered a fulfill count for each product to be available by the license manager on the server machine. Nodelocked licenses are for use on one specific machine; therefore, a count is not requested. Place a check beside the license. At this point you can select to save the license file directly to the machine or the license file. Place a check beside the license and select either Save to File or License. Selecting to save the file directly to the machine will begin a download of the license file. If you did not enter your address from the previous step, you can enter it now.
