Installation
Administrator rights are needed to perform a successful installation. Start the installation by running
setup.exe. Once the setup is launched follow the instructions on the screen.
Minimum requirements: Pentium PC with 256 Mb RAM and 120 Mb free harddisk space. SVGA display
adapter, 1024 x 768 pixels. Windows 2000 or XP, Server 2003 or Vista, 32 or 64 bits.
License system
PVTsim can be used with the following license systems
The license system can be selected the first time PVTsim starts up. Later on the license system can be
changed using the Calsep License Manager installed with PVTsim.
The HASP folder contains driver and server for the HASP key and a monitor program. HASPmessages.txt
contains an explanation of possible error messages from the HASP system.
To install driver and server, log on as Administrator. If running Windows Vista, run lmsetup.exe in HASP
for Vista\Driver and Server. If running Windows 2000, XP or Server 2003, run lmsetup.exe in HASP for
Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003\utility\SERVERS\win32. The server may be installed as Application or
as Service. If installed as Service the server will start automatically upon reboot. Otherwise the server must
be started manually by running nhsrvw32.exe. When the server is up and running, a HASP icon is displayed
in the lower right corner of the screen. When the driver is properly installed the light in the diode on a
HASP USB key is on.
Client
The search route for the server can be controlled using the file nethasp.ini on the client PC’s. Nethasp.ini
must be located in Windows\System32 on 32bit Windows operating systems and in Windows\SysWOW64
on 64bit Windows operating systems. The fastest search is obtained with the following settings
NH_TCPIP = Enabled
NH_TCPIP_METHOD=TCP
NH_SERVER_ADDR= <server ip address>

FLEXlm
MAC address needed to issue license file
The MAC-address of your FLEXlm license server is needed to have a FLEXlm license file for PVTsim
issued. The license server can be any PC on the network running a Windows OS. If you have acquired your
PVTsim license through Calsep, please mail MAC-address to Peter L. Christensen (plc@calsep.com) and a
license file will be returned.
On the license server start lmtools.exe and input paths to lmgrd and license file as explained in the section
