Appendix 3: Obtaining and Installing PIPESIM Licenses

This section explains how to obtain and install the PIPESIM licenses.

Flexlm

PIPESIM 2011.1.2 security is based on Macrovision Flexlm. Flexlm calls are authorized by the provision of

text based encrypted license files. These files are locked to either to the host ID of the machine (MAC ID;

this information can be obtained by running the command IPCONFIG /all on DOS prompt), or a special USB

Dongle with a dongle ID (also referred as FlexID). License files can either be Stand Alone License files or

Server License files.

A license file for a specific MAC ID will only work on that specific machine. Similarly, files with a FlexID (USB

Dongle ID) require the relevant dongle to be plugged in. Using a FlexID (USB Dongle ID) makes licensing the

machine independent, flexible and portable so long as the license file is carried onto another machine.

PIPESIM has a number of components that are licensed separately. These features can be incorporated inthe license file as either FEATURES or INCREMENTS. For example, to launch the PIPESIM interface (GUI) you

will need to have PIPESIM features in the license file; to use the network engine you will require PIPESIM

and NetEngine features in the License file.

To set up the standalone node-locked type license, do one of the following:

Set the environment variable.a. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables.b. Set the LM_LICENSE_FILE user environment variable to the valid license file with its defined path.

For example, c:\slb\license.dat).

Use the Schlumberger Licensing Manager.a. Under All license servers for LM_LICENSE_FILE, enter the valid license file (with its defined path

as c:\slb\license.dat).

b. Click Add License Server.Note:These steps are for standalone node-locked type licenses. For all other licenses, refer to Appendix

5: Configuring Schlumberger Licensing.

Warning: Do NOT set the standalone license using the Local license server of the Schlumberger

Licensing Manager. It makes the license invalid by modifying the license file and adding thefollowing lines at the beginning of the file:

SERVER SLB-CC97Z3J 00217081BE8F

USB Dongle for PC Licensing

Each USB Dongle comes with a unique ID which is engraved on the USB dongle itself. The USB Dongle license

can be stand alone (making the machine portable and independent) or server type, where one machine on

the network is used as a license server.

USB Dongles require hardware device drivers (shipped with PIPESIM CD). There are two types of device

driver:

Flex USB driver - if the USB Dongle ID starts with a prefix of 9-xxxxxxxx, install USB Flex Drivers. Dallas drivers - . if USB Dongle ID starts with 8-xxxxxxxxx, install Dallas drivers.

Most common and recent dongles are Aladdin USB Dongles which requires Flex USB drivers and are

compatible with Windows XP and Windows 2008. Refer to the following instructions for installing device

drivers.

To ins ta l l the US Dong le Dr i ve r1. Load the PIPESIM CD and double-click Setup.exe.2. Select Install Products.3. Select SLB Licensing.4. Select Install Flex USB Drivers or Install Dallas Drivers.5. Select the language and click Next.6. Accept the license agreement and click Install.

Appendix 4: Other Utilities - BorrowFlex

BorrowFlex allows users to check out license features on their machine. Features can only be checked out if

the license file itself has the BORROW keyword in its license string. The borrow period is restricted to a

maximum of six days or less from the date of checkout. Checked out features cannot be returned early. The

minimum borrow period is 24 hrs by default.

By default, duplicate features borrowed or checked out on the same date are not permitted. However,

caution is required to exercise Borrow identical feature on a later date, as each checked out feature or

Borrow decrements the license feature number.
