General information about Red Network ESL's. B. Procedure if the Red Network ESL is attached to a Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista machine. C. Steps to perform if you are having trouble accessing the Red Network ESL. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A. General information about Red Network ESLs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Red Network ESL should be setup by a person who is FAMILIAR with Windows based networks such as your Network Administrator. If you are not familiar with concepts such as Network Protocols, Broadcast, IP Addresses, TCP, UDP, and Windows Services, please do not attempt to setup the Red Network ESL. 2. The Red Network ESL does NOT have to be attached to the Network Server. COADE recommends attaching the Red Network ESL to a machine that is always up and running, can be re-booted without impact to users, and is not the primary machine for any user on the network. 3. If you install a COADE application on a network drive for many users to access, please make the ..\SYSTEM directory under the COADE application directory has read/write privileges for all users. COADE applications write temporary files to the ..\SYSTEM directory that pertain to the install. For CADWorx, the ..\SUPPORT directory also needs to have read/write privileges for all users. 4. If using other network protocols (NetBIOS or IPX), check Aladdin web site for instructions: http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/enduser.asp The only protocol tested with COADE applications is TCP/IP. 5. The information provided in this file is a supplement to the NetHasp Documentation file called NETHASP.PDF in the "..\ASSIDRV" directory. Please review NETHASP.PDF file for any issues not addressed in this file. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. Procedure if the Network ESL is attached to a Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista machine --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. You must have ADMINISTRATOR level privileges to perform these steps. 2. Attach the Red ESL key to the parallel port or USB port of the machine. 3. Execute "LMSETUP.EXE" on the machine where the key is attached. Follow the on screen instructions. Install the NetHASP License Manager as a "Service". 4. The NetHasp License Manager will automatically start every time the user re-boots the machine. This occurs because the NetHasp License Manager is setup as a start up service inside Windows. To verify that this has occurred, go to Windows Start Button->Settings->Control Panel->Services Icon. In the Services dialog box, there should be an entry called "HASP Loader". The HASP Loader Service will start even if no one logs into the machine. 6. Determine what protocols the NetHasp License Manager is listening to. The NetHasp License Manager will display a message such as: "Server is listening to IPX : Loaded" "Server is listening to TCP/IP : Loaded" "Server is listening to NetBIOS : loaded" 7. The "loaded" means that this protocol is active on the machine. Hit the Activity Log pull down menu. This will bring up the activity log which will confirm what protocols are loaded. Do not be alarmed if the activity log says that "NHSRV.INI" file not found. 8. The Activity Log has a box in the top left that will allow you to bring up just the information specific to each protocol. Bring up the Activity Log for the protocol you want to use. Make sure there are no error messages here. For TCP/IP Protocol, the Activity Log should say something like "Server Host Name: coade1" "Server IP address: 111.111.111.111" 9. To speed up response time to the Network key, you may "unload" the any protocols that you are not planning on using with the NetHasp License Manager. This can be done from the Remove pull down menu. 10. NetHASP.ini modification for TCP/IP Protocol: a. To configure TCP/IP protocol, you must know the IP address of the machine where the Red Network Key is attached. Example: 111.111.111.111 b. Modify the NETHASP.INI file in the "..\ASSIDRV" directory with the following changes. [NH_COMMON] NH_TCPIP = Enabled [NH_TCPIP] NH_SERVER_ADDR = 111.111.111.111 NH_USE_BROADCAST = Disabled You may also have to modify other entries in [NH_TCPIP] Section depending on your network setup. The most common entries to modify are: NH_TCPIP_METHOD If the hardware lock is connected to a laptop, you may have to use the localhost IP address of: 127.0.0.1 c. Copy the NETHASP.INI file into the program executable directory. Example: C:\Program Files\CAESAR Example: C:\Program Files\TANK Example: C:\Program Files\CODECALC Example: C:\Program Files\PVELITE For CADWorx Design Review, copy this file into the CDR.EXE directory: Example: C:\Program Files\COADE\COADE CADWorx Design Review\ For CADWorx / PV Fabricator, copy this file into AutoCAD's EXE (ACAD.EXE) directory. Example: AutoCAD 2006 - (C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2007); Example: AutoCAD 2007 - (C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2008); Example: AutoCAD 2008 - (C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2009); Example: AutoCAD 2009 - (C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2010); d. Start the COADE application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. Steps to perform if you are having trouble accessing the Red Network ESL. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Verify that the NetHasp License Manager is running on the machine where the Red Network ESL is attached. 2. Verify the Protocols that the NetHasp License Manager is broadcasting. Make sure that these protocols are installed on the Client machines. 3. Run the Monitor Utility that is in the ".\ASSIDRV\Monitor\" directory. If Monitor cannot find the Red Network ESL, than the COADE application will not find the Red Network ESL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
