Installing JetStream

Installing JetStream

Insert the JetStream CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive. The JetStream Installation Menu should start automatically. If the Menu does not launch automatically, double click on Menubox.exe at the root of the JetStream CD. Follow the instructions on the menu to install and license JetStream.

The installer will load all supported languages and then automatically run in the language that best matches the settings on your computer. To run JetStream in another of the supported languages, you simply need to add one of the following arguments to the desktop shortcut. To do this, right click on the JetStream desktop shortcut and choose Properties from the context menu. In the Target field, after ..\'roamer.exe" enter a space, then one of the following:

First Steps

The JetStream License Manager is a separate application used to manage everything concerning your JetStream licenses. It is installed along with JetStream, or you can install it on its own for setting up License Servers (for more details on this, see ). You can access the License Manager from Start, Programs, JetStream JetStream, License Manager, but for your convenience, on first installing JetStream, it will open automatically and start the license wizard, which looks like this:

You must first select the type of computer you are running the license wizard on. Here you have three options:

• "Desktop". Select this if you have a normal desktop computer or workstation.

• "Laptop". Select this option if you use a portable computer such as a laptop or notepad machine.

• "Server". Select this option if you are installing on a server machine, or if your computer does not fall into any of the above catagories.

If you check the "Laptop" option, you will be taken to another screen asking you about the ethernet card in your laptop computer.

• "In my docking station". Select this option if you connect your network cable into a docking station.

• "In my laptop computer". Select this option if you plug your network cable directly into your laptop computer.

• "I don't connect to a network". Select this option if you do not connect your computer to a network.

• "I don't know". Select this option if you are not sure where your ethernet card is located.

If you use multiple cards (e.g. a standard LAN card at work and a wireless card at home) select the "I don't connect to a network" option, as you will need to disable Ethernet ID locking to ensure JetStream JetStream works when using either card.

The license wizard uses this information to set up the options related to Ethernet card ID locking (see

After the pages to determine your computer type, you will be asked what sort of license you want to install on your machine.

To install a fixed license on a stand-alone machine, or floating licenses on a server, choose the first option, "Install licenses on this machine" and follow the instructions in or respectively.

Otherwise, if you are setting up a client to take its licenses from a server, then choose the second option, "Use floating licenses from a remote server" and follow the instructions in

RequestingRecovering and Returning licenses work the same way, whether you're installing them on a stand-alone PC or for licenses to be served from a server.

Requesting and installing a JetStream license

Requesting and installing a JetStream license

• To install a new license, or to add more modules to your existing licenses, select Request License from the License Wizard menu. The Request License Wizard will be displayed:

  

• One by one, enter the serial numbers of your JetStream modules and click Add after each. This will add the products to the list box. Once all of your products are entered, click Next

  

• Enter your personal contact details, then click Next

  Note

  The starred items (*) are required, whereas the others are optional.

  

• Enter your company's contact details, then click Next

  

• The final wizard dialog offers you two options to register your product:

  1. Now via the Internet directly from this machine . This option is recommended if you have a direct Internet connection.

     Click Finish and the License Manager will link to NavisWorks Ltd.'s system, register your products and install your license file. When the License Manager informs you of success, your products are licensed and you can use NavisWorks.

  2. Create a license request file to send to NavisWorks Ltd. . If you have no internet connection from your machine, or your firewall does not permit connection, then you will need to select this option and manually process the license.

     Click Finish and the license request file will be created. You will be advised in a message box where this file is located, (by default C:\'Program Files\'NavisWorks Licensing\'Transfer\'send_to_navisworks.txt

     Note

     Once the license request file is created, it can be sent to NavisWorks Ltd. from any machine, either by email or uploaded on the NavisWorks website. If you do not have email on your machine therefore, copy the file and take it to any machine that does have email or Internet access.

     Whilst manually processing this request, your existing licenses will be killed. This will prevent JetStream from functioning until the new license has been accepted.

     Attach the send_to_navisworks.txt file to an email and send it to <autolicense@navisworks.com> . A license file will be sent by return email.

     (This email address is an automated address and should not be emailed with anything other than the send_to_navisworks.txt file.)

     or

     Upload it to the website https://register.navisworks.com/autolic.htm. Once processed (this should only take a few seconds), you will be prompted to download a license file.

     Save the license file to a temporary location on the machine that created the license request file, preferably the original Transfer directory. The file should be named accept_new_license.lic when saved. If the file is named differently, JetStream may not recognise it.

     Start the License Manager (Start, Programs, JetStream JetStream, License Manager), then go to License Wizard, Accept License . Browse to the license file in the temporary location, then choose Open and then Finish . This will install the license on your machine.

Recovering a license

Recovering a license

If you lose your JetStream license for whatever reason, there is a good chance you can recover it by doing the following:

• Go to Recover License from the License Wizard menu and check the Confirm box before clicking on Next

• Your serial numbers and contact details should have been remembered by the License Manager, but if not, complete the next two forms again and click Next

• You have two methods by which to recover your license, which are the same as the registration methods. See >Connection Methods for more information on these options in order to choose how you would like to recover your license.

  There are certain situations where recovering may not work. These are outlined in

Returning a license

Returning a license

You cannot directly transfer a license from one PC to another, but you can return your licenses to NavisWorks Ltd. in order to Request them from another PC. Returning a license effectively kills it on one PC and gives you a credit in NavisWorks Ltd.'s system so that you can request the same license from another PC. Please note that you cannot return just some modules and leave others on the PC. If you wish to transfer just some of your JetStream modules, then you have to return them all and request them individually again from the PC's on which you want to use them.

To return your license:

• Go to Return License from the License Wizard menu and check the Confirm box before clicking on Next

• Your serial numbers and contact details should have been remembered by the License Manager, but if not, complete the next two forms again and click Next

• You have two methods by which to return your license, which are the same as the registration methods. See >Connection Methods for more information on these options in order to choose how you would like to return your license.

  Note

  If you return your licenses via a license request file, the license file returned to you (by email or download) will need to be Accepted (see the section called >Accepting a License) on the machine returning the licenses, to complete the return license process. If successful, you will receive a message advising "License Returned".

Once your licenses have been returned, JetStream will no longer run on your PC, but you will be able to Request them again from any other PC in your organisation (note that the JetStream End User License Agreement forbids you to "loan, rent, sell, sublicense or otherwise transfer the Software Product and/or documentation to third parties"). To install your licenses again, follow the steps in

License Types

License Types

There are two types of JetStream license: Fixed and Floating.

1. Fixed licenses. These are licenses locked to a single machine and sometimes called stand-alone licenses. Each client PC must be individually licensed.

2. Floating licenses. These are concurrent licenses served from a server. A license is needed for each client PC that will access a floating license at the same time. For example, if you have 10 floating licenses installed on the server, then any 10 client PCs can be running JetStream at the same time.
