There are three basic steps in the hardware lock installation process:

1.	Installing the hardware lock software
2.	Installing the lock itself
3.	Running the Enable Wizard

An explanation of each of these steps is outlined below.

NOTE – The hardware lock contains an electronic circuit board, so handle it with care throughout the installation process or at any time when it becomes necessary to transfer or handle the lock.

STEP 1:

Hardware Lock Software Installation

You can download the latest drivers (Sentinel Protection Installer 7.4.0) for your server here. This software needs to be installed once on the computer where the hardware lock resides (server computer) - No drivers are necessary on the computers that will run your modeling-software (personal computer) as long as you have a working netenble.001 file. For the formatting of the netenble.001 file click here and review the "New for SMS 10.0 and GMS 6.5" section.

Action:

• Download the Sentinel Protection Installer from the link above and run on the server computer.
• Follow the prompts and select the complete installation.
• Select Yes to allow firewall modification when prompted to.
• Close any programs currently in use as you will have to restart the machine after the installation in order for the new drivers to take effect.
• Check the netenble.001 files on all of the personal computers that have your modeling software installed.

STEP 2:

Installing the lock itself

Connect the lock to the USB port on your computer.

Action:

• Attach the hardware lock to the USB of your server computer.

You can check to see if your personal computer is properly set up to detect the hardware lock on the server computer by opening a internet browser on your personal computer and type in the following address including your server computer's IP address: http://(server IP address):6002

• For example if your server computer's IP address is 111.222.3.44 then the address would read : http://111.222.3.44:6002

To find your server computer's IP address you can follow these steps in Windows:

• Click the start menu and select Run…
• Type "cmd" to open a DOS command Prompt
• Type "ipconfig" into the command prompt and view the IP address listed below

 

STEP 3:

Verify the Installation using the Enable Wizard

The enable wizard automatically enables your modeling package. It will search
for your hardware lock and the associated drivers. Once they have been found, your software is configured to work according to the modules that you purchased.

Action:

• Start the XMS software.
• If the Enable Wizard doesn't appear, go to File | Register.
• Click the Enable Wizard button.
• Select Network hardware lock and click Next.
• Set the desired network lock settings. Consult the troubleshooting guide for more information.
• Click Next and then click Finish.
