If there’s an activated standalone license on
the end user’s computer, you should almost certainly deactivate it. (It’s
possible to have a standalone license on a concurrent network client, but it’s
unusual. Please consult Palisade
Technical Support if you have questions about your specific situation.) The
procedure below includes the necessary steps to do the deactivation.
The conversion procedure requires full administrative
rights. You can perform it via remote login to the end user’s computer if you
wish.
Open
a Notepad window, and paste the appropriate text.
For a client with 32-bit Windows, use this text:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palisade\@RISK
for Excel\8.0\License to use]
@="Network:"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palisade\Evolver\8.0\License
to use]
@="Network:"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palisade\NeuralTools\8.0\License
to use]
@="Network:"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palisade\PrecisionTree\8.0\License
to use]
@="Network:"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palisade\StatTools\8.0\License
to use]
@="Network:"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palisade\TopRank\8.0\License
to use]
Change
the last line to reference your lmgrd port number and server name. (You can get
them from the main window of Palisade Server Manager. If the lmgrd port number
shows as "Dynamic" in Server Manager, don’t specify a port number in
the file but do keep the @ sign.)
Save
the file with a .REG extension, and copy it to the client computer.
If
there’s an activated license on the client computer, deactivate it as follows.
(If there’s only a trial license on this computer, skip these lettered steps
and just double-click the .REG file.)
On
the client computer, run the Palisade software. You may get a message that
running the application remotely is not allowed. But the message will also ask
if you’re an administrator managing licenses, and you should answer Yes, because
this can be done remotely.
If
License Manager does not come up spontaneously, click Help » License
Manager.
License
Manager’s main screen should show the activated license. If it doesn’t, click
Select License and select the activated license.
Click
Deactivate and follow the prompts on screen. If Automatic Deactivation fails,
select Manual Deactivation » Save Request File and send the request file
to Palisade Technical Support, or
upload it to our activations
Web page. You must complete the deactivation before proceeding.
When
the deactivation is complete, the Palisade software will unload itself. You
should then close Excel.
Double-click the REG file. This will complete
the conversion of this workstation to a Concurrent Network client.
