SOFTWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

Welcome to Boothroyd Dewhurst, Inc.’s DFMA® software. The DFMA software runs with
FLEXlm® license management software. License authorization is needed from Boothroyd
Dewhurst, Inc. This guide contains instructions for installing DFMA software and obtaining a
license authorization. Before installation, verify whether you have a floating or node-locked
license and close any running applications to speed installation time. If you have downloaded
the software, extract the files to a separate folder.

Installing DFMA Software


1. From the download folder or USB drive, run setup.exe.
2. Select the appropriate install option based on your type of license:
• Install node-locked license of DFMA software; runs only on the specific machine for
which the license is issued
• Install floating license of DFMA software; allows multiple users and requires access
to the DFMA FLEXlm floating license manager
3. A third option, Install DFMA FLEXlm floating license manager, is described below.
4. Follow the installation instructions to install the DFMA software.
5. At the end of the installation, you will be asked if you wish to request a license for the
software. Click Yes to complete the process of submitting the Hostid information about
your computer needed for generating a license. When you receive the license
authorization file from BDI, save it as instructed in the email.

Installing DFMA FLEXlm Floating License Manager


(If you are installing a node-locked license of DFMA software, skip this section.)
The DFMA installation contains the files necessary for either installing the FLEXlm license
manager program, if you are not already using it; and/or upgrading an existing FLEXlm setup to
configure it for DFMA licenses. This is generally carried out by the system administrator, and
installed on a dedicated server.
1. From the download folder or USB drive in the machine where the FLEXlm license
manager program will be installed, run setup.exe and choose Install DFMA FLEXlm
floating license manager.
2. Follow the installation instructions to install the DFMA FLEXlm software.
3. After DFMA FLEXlm is installed, you will be asked if you wish to request a license for the
software. Click Yes and you will be guided through the process of submitting the Hostid
information about your computer needed for generating a license.
4. When you receive the license authorization file from BDI, save the license file as
instructed in the email.
5. The DFMA FLEXlm installation has created a shortcut to the DFMA License Manager in
the DFMA Start menu Programs folder. Click it to configure the license manager.

Obtaining a license
1. In order to run the DFMA software you need to obtain license authorization from BDI.
During the install you are asked if you wish to request a license for the software. Click
the Yes button to proceed. (If you are reinstalling DFMA software, click No.)
2. Follow the prompts to obtain the Hostid information for the computer and email it to
BDI.
3. BDI will email you the license file with instructions on where it is to be saved.
4. You can make the license request at any time after the software is installed by running
the DFMA License Manager (in the DFMA Program Group). Choose Obtain Hostid
information required for licensing.

What to do with the license file


For a node-locked license, the file should be saved as license.dat in the “Documents\DFMA”
folder on the specific machine for which the license is issued. When you have saved the license
file, you are ready to run the DFMA software.

For a floating license, the file should be saved as license.dat in the folder on the server where
the FLEXlm license manager program is installed. When you run the DFMA software for the
first time, you are shown a dialog where you Specify the license server. Your network
administrator can supply you with the information on the server where the FLEXlm program
runs. If you do not get the dialog, run the DFMA License Manager program from the DFMA
folder in your Start menu.
