Network copy - software key

Overview

With version 3.1 OLI has introduced a softkey version of the OLI Network License Manager. This version does not require a hardware device (a/k/a usb key or dongle). Rather, a "Footprint" of the target computer is required to ensure uniqueness. The steps for installing the software are similar to the hardware version but there are some significant differences.

Download the software

We begin by asking you to download the latest software from the OLI download website [1]

To do this you will need the Server Serial number in the license file that OLI supplied to you. As an example, the white USB key should contain a file that is similar to the one shown below "LS5400006..."

(Note: in the past, hardware versions were prefixed with the letters LH - LAN Hardware. Softkey versions are prefixed with LS - LAN Softkey)

Open this file and locate the Server Serial Number. We will use this number for several download and install steps. Please note, for all network users of the OLI software this is the only serial number that will allow you access to the download program site.

On the OLI download web site, enter your information as well as the server serial number. When this information has been added click the Go button.

A list of program to which you are entitled to download will be displayed. For this excercize we are only interested in the OLI Network License Server 3.1. When ready click the Download icon. (Note: The beta version of the 3.1 license manager is not displayed here, it will be provided in a separate link)
