OmniMark CI 4.0 installation procedure (Windows 95 and Windows NT)

------

Use the following procedure to install OmniMark 4.0 software and examples on a Windows 95 or Windows NT computer. OmniMark 4.0 is configured to run in authorized mode only, requiring you to install or properly update the proper FLEXlm License Manager software on your license manager server machine.

Installing and configuring the FLEXlm License Manager

Before beginning your installation of OmniMark, make certain that your FLEXlm License Manager is properly installed and configured.

• Overview of the license manager
• Updating your license manager

Installing OmniMark 4.0

On the CD-ROM, change to the "win95" directory (if you're installing on Windows 95) or to the "winnt" directory (if you're installing on Windows NT) and run the "om40.exe" program. If you are installing from the Web, download "om40.exe" from the OmniMark Technologies software download page . The setup program will guide you through the rest of the installation.

Pointing at a FLEXlm License Manager

Once OmniMark is installed, your environment must be configured so that OmniMark is pointing at a specific license manager.

All computers that OmniMark will run on should have the OMNIMARK_LICENSE_FILE environment variable set to the port address and server name of the machine on which the license manager server is running.

For Windows 95 machines, the following statement should be added to the "autoexec.bat" file:

  set OMNIMARK_LICENSE_FILE=TCP/IP_Port_Address@Server_Name

If you are updating your license file, alter the OMNIMARK_LICENSE_FILE to reflect the new settings of your FLEXlm installation if you have changed the computer you are running FLEXlm on, or if you have changed the port that FLEXlm is on.

On a Windows 95 machine, file "omlm.bat" is created. You can use this file to start the license manager manually. If you want FLEXlm to start every time your computer boots up, move "omlm.bat" to the Startup folder.

If you are installing OmniMark on a Windows NT machine, perform the following steps from the "Administrator" account:

• From the Start menu, select the Settings sub-menu, then select Control Panel.
• Open the System control panel.
• Click in the System Environment Variables list.
• Click in the Variable field. If not already listed, replace the text in the field with
  

    OMNIMARK_LICENSE_FILE
  

  .
• Click in the Value field. Replace the text in the field with
  

    TCP/IP_Port_Address@Server_Name
  

• Click on the Set button.
• Click on the OK button.

Test installation and authorization

After installing the license manager software, you can test that OmniMark can successfully communicate with the license manager by running the "test.xom" script. This script appears in the top level of the OmniMark installation directory and can be run with the following command line:

  omnimark -s test.xom

If you receive the output "success", then OmniMark is communicating successfully with the license manager.

If an error occurs when trying to authorize the program, ensure that you are running OmniMark 4.0 with the following command:

  omnimark -version

If you are running the proper version, but an error occurred, ensure that the OMNIMARK_LICENSE_FILE is set correctly, that lmgrd is running on the server, and that the machine OmniMark is running on can communicate with the server via TCP/IP.
