Installing the Triad License Manager on Subsequent Computers

Follow these instructions for installing the SolidNetWork License Manager software on the second and third computers in the triad. This procedure is almost the same as installing the software on the initial computer, except for steps 2(f) and 2(i).

1. On the triad license manager computer, install the SolidNetWork License Manager using the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager:
   1. Start SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager as described in Download Installation Media.
   2. For the type of installation, select Install server components and click Install SolidNetWork License Manager (distributed licensing) on this computer.
   3. On the Summary page, verify the SolidNetWork License Manager Installation Location, Download Options, and click Install Now to complete the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager process.
2. Using the SolidNetWork License Manager, configure the triad license manager computer:
   1. Start the SolidNetWork License Manager. Click Start > SOLIDWORKS Tools version > SolidNetWork License Manager Server version.
      Since this is the first time you are running the SolidNetWork License Manager on this computer, you are asked whether you would like to activate now.
   2. Click No.
      The Server Administration tab of the SOLIDWORKS SolidNetwork License Manager appears.
   3. Under Advanced Options, click Options.
      The Advanced Options dialog box appears.
   4. Under SolidNetWork Server License Mode, click Use a License File and click OK.
      The Advanced Options dialog box closes.
   5. Under License Information, click Modify.
      The SolidNetWork License File Wizard appears.
   6. Under Server Type, select Triad and Synchronize server/license information and then click Next.
   7. On the Triad Server Information screen, enter the computer name and host ID values. Then click Next.
      This ensures that if one license manager is unavailable, client computers can get a license from the other two servers.
   8. On the Licenses screen, click Read to browse to and open the SolidNetWork license file.
      The licenses appear in the SolidNetWork License File wizard.
   The licenses file is generated by the first triad license manager computer that you configured. Typically, the licenses file is located in \licenses\sw_d.lic. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SolidNetWork License Manager\licenses\sw_d.lic

   For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SolidNetWork License Manager\licenses\sw_d.lic

   1. Click Finish.
      A SolidNetWork License File Wizard warning appears.
   2. Click OK to exit the SolidNetWork License File wizard and then Finish to exit the SolidNetWork License Manager.
