Single and Multi User Licenses

License Manager Installation

Before installing a SUL or a MUL, a License Manager must be installed.

• Install the License Manager and USB lock for every Single User Licensed computer.

    or

• Install the License Manager and USB lock on ONE network computer for Multi User Licenses.
  

To install the License Manager, locate the LM Install folder on the LiveWire installation disk and run the "setup.exe" program. If you do not have an installation disk please contact support@zsystems.ca

Single and Multi User License Installation

1. Install the USB lock that was either included with LiveWire or sent to you by mail.
   
2. Start LiveWire.
   
3. Open to the License Manager dialog box.
   
   

   Note 1: This dialog will come up immediately on unlicensed versions of LiveWire.

   Note 2: For trial licensed copies of LiveWire the Edit menu can access this dialog.

   
   
   
   

   
   

4. From the License Manager dialog, under Single/Multi User License, press the open folder icon to search for the “license.txt” file that was either included with your LiveWire package or sent to you.
   
   
   
   
5. Press the <Install> button.
   
   
   
   The following “confirmation” dialog will appear.
   
   
   
   
6. Point LiveWire to the License Manager Host computer and port #.
   
   
   

   Note 1: This should be <localhost 2053> if the License Manager is on this computer.

   Note 2: If the License Manager is on machine XXX then this should be <XXX 2053>.
   
   

7. Now, restart LiveWire. The program will start up and you can begin using LiveWire.

Running LiveWire with a Network License

A License is not required on a remote computer running LiveWire. LiveWire will acquire permission to run from a centralized Licensing computer as long as the following parameter is set. This does not apply to Trial Licenses, only for Single and Multi User Licenses.

1. Point LiveWire to the License Manager Host computer and port #.
   
   
   

   Note 1: This should be <localhost 2053> if the License Manager is on this computer.

   Note 2: If the License Manager is on machine XXX then this should be <XXX 2053>.
