Title

Answer

Applies to EXE installer for:
Concurrent Network client software and course License end-user software

How to Install the Concurrent Network Software

Full administrative rights are required for the client install.

You can run the EXE installer directly or copy the installer and the .ini file to the client computer and run the EXE installer on the client.
Right-click the EXE installer and select Run as administrator

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have the right installer. The file name will include the string "-cust-".

The installer copies server info from the INI file to the System Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Palisade\Licenses
or
HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\FLEXlm License Manager\PALISADE_LICENSE_FILE.
The client installer does not connect to the server during install; it assumes the INI file is correct. After installation, the INI file is no longer used.
For existing installations, a shorter procedure is available to convert trial or standalone copies to network clients.
There is no limit to the number of client installs.

Upgrading:

New major version:
- optionally uninstall the old version immediately or later
- uninstalling later does not affect the new version.
Same major version:
- new version overwrites old version automatically.
After installation, run the client via Start » @RISK Platform.
Check the license in Help » License Manager.
If a trial or “no available license” message appears, click Select License and choose the network license. License selection applies only to the current user.
At runtime, the client reads the System Registry for server info. If incorrect, the client cannot reach the server. See Redirecting Concurrent Clients to a New Server or Port Number for corrections.
