Obtain the Target ID

• Obtain the Target ID of the machine on which you will be installing licenses

• Since you don’t have CATIA installed yet, you can obtain the Target ID via the LUM (License UseManagement) i4target tool

• For Windows, the i4target executable can be downloaded at the following site under the toolsdirectory for the Windows platform

– http://www-3.ibm.com/software/is/lum/download.html

• You must register at the License Use Management download site above in order to download thei4target tool

• You should be able to just double-click on the i4target executable that you downloaded(i4target.exe), and a message box displaying the win32mac Target ID of the machine will bedisplayed

• You can also run the following command to display the Target ID (from the directory where youdownloaded i4target.exe):

i4target –O (this is a capital o, not a zero)

• The Target ID is a number represented in hexadecimal notation

• Below is an example of the i4target –O output showing a valid win32mac Target ID:

• LUM Target ID• -----------------• 745315e5 win32mac MAC-HW Address IBMTRP1

Target ID Problems (Windows only)• If any of the following situations exist, perform the steps on the following page to get a

valid Target ID:

– The i4target –O command does not return a win32mac Target ID

– The i4target –O command returns a Target ID of all zeros

– The workstation has multiple network adapters

Perform the following steps if you are not getting a valid Target ID: (see example on nextpage)

• Open a Command Prompt window.

• Run regedit and remove the I4DRIVER entry from the registry under:

– HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\License Use Runtime

• Run i4target –z from the command line.

– This will list the network adapters that can be used for the Target ID.

Run i4target –d devicename, where devicename is one of the network adapters listed in step3.

• Run i4target –O devicename to get a win32mac Target ID.

Create License Certificate Files

• A License Certificate file can be created by cutting and pasting the license certificate linesfrom the email that you receive from the License Key Center into a file. The normal namingconvention for License Certificate files is to use a .lic extension

• The lines you need to cut and paste from your email into a file are shown on the next page.

Cut and Paste the following lines into a file:
