Problem: How do I add computers and set permissions manually with NI VLM? Solution: Computers not connected to the network cannot take advantage of network installers and will have to be added manually. If the client computer will be disconnected from the network, you will need the computer name and computer ID. The only piece of information that is necessary for a client computer connected to the network is the computer name. To find computer name and ID NI License Manager on the client computer go to Start » Programs » National Instruments » NI License Manager. Click the Display Computer Information button to obtain the computer name and computer ID. Once you have the client computer name, and computer ID if necessary, in NI VLM, click the Add Computer button. In the dialog box, enter the client computer's information. Note: The fields in the owner section of the information tab are optional and can be used for your own record keeping. After completing this information change to the permissions tab which lists available software packages included in your Volume license agreement. Place a checkmark next to each software package that the client computer will need to use. After granting the permissions, change to the users tab. Add all users that are connected to the computer. Click OK and repeat this process for each client computer. After assigning permissions, you must click the Apply Changes button to refresh the server with these new settings and permissions. You can also use the NI VLM Import Utility to help you gather and enter the client computer information. The NI VLM Import Utility is included in NI VLM and is available for download from ni.com.
