Problem: How do I get started installing VLM and the License File?
Solution:
- To begin the process, select a reliable machine that is accessible by most of the clients that will access NI VLM. After choosing the server computer, install NI VLM from the CD you received in your shipment. Once you have installed NI VLM, send your computer ID and server name to the NI Contracts Group at agreements@ni.com. The NI Contracts Group will generate a license file specific to your server and your contract. To find the Computer ID, launch NI VLM and select Options>>Display Computer ID. The Server Name can be retrieved by clicking on “License Server” on the left-hand side of the window. The Server Name is displayed in the view on the right.
- After receiving your license file from National Instruments, install the license file in NI VLM. From NI VLM, select Options>>“Install License File…” Navigate to the location where you saved the license file you received. Select the license file and click “Open”. You must now refresh NI VLM by clicking “Apply Changes”. NI VLM refreshes and shows the contents of the new license file.
