A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows Overview • i

Overview
Introduction
Installing and configuring software
under Windows can be tricky. The
CMGL Setup program makes it a
snap.
Before You Install
Many of CMGL's clients use multiple
versions of our software. When you
are no longer using an older version
CMGL product, we recommend
removing it to conserve system
resources.
A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows
The Computer Modelling Group Ltd. (CMGL) installation procedure was developed
to help you install CMGL software onto your computer and configure it to work
correctly with CMGL software.
It is very important that you follow these instructions and install the software using
the installation program provided.
The installation program creates the directory structure and registry entries needed
by your CMGL software. It also installs all the files necessary for your CMGL
software to work correctly. If you do not use the installation program provided,
your software will not function. You cannot simply move, copy or delete your
CMGL software using the Windows Explorer. If you do, your software will not
function correctly.
You will need to do several things before you start the setup program:
• Ensure the computer on which you are installing the CMGL software
meets the minimum system requirements.
• Determine whether you will be using stand-alone licenses for a single
computer or network licenses for a group of computers.
• If you are using network licenses you will need to know which
computer will be the network server and what is that computer's name
on the network.
NOTE: Your CMGL software will not function correctly until you reboot
the computer.
Multiple Installations
Many clients like to keep multiple installations of the CMGL software on their
systems. If you are adding and removing different versions of the CMGL software,
you can prevent difficulties by:
Overview • 1
 Removing the software you do not wish to use first.
Adding software in chronological order. All CMGL releases have a version number
that is also a date so adding in order should be easy.
If software that worked prior to an installation ceases to work afterwards, try using
the Repair feature of the Add/Remove Programs control panel.

System Requirements (32-bit)

In order for your CMGL software to run correctly, you will need the following
minimum hardware and software configuration:
• A Pentium class computer (Pentium 4 recommended).
To determine the version of Windows
• One of the following supported operating systems (U.S. English,
installed on your computer, open the
System control panel and read the Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese versions only):
System information under the Microsoft Windows 2000
General tab. For each kind of Microsoft Windows XP
Windows, you will need the following
levels (or higher): • 512 MB of Random Access Memory.
Windows 2000: 5.00.2195 • A hard disk with 500 MB of free disk space to install all of the CMGL
applications.
Windows XP: 2002
• A Super VGA monitor capable of displaying thousands (16 bit) of
colours at 1024x768 resolution (21" high-resolution monitor
recommended).
• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device.
• ISO-9660 compliant CD-ROM drive.
• Ethernet Card.
• TCP/IP installed and configured.
Clients using Builder and Results should also have the following:
• An OpenGL graphics card with at least 32 MB video RAM.

System Requirements (64-bit)

There are currently only beta versions of CMGL’s x64 software. This
software is not available on the general release CD-ROM. If you are
willing to help CMGL beta test it’s software, please contact your CMGL
Marketting Representative.

The requirements for running the 64-bit software are the same as for the 32-bit
software (above), with the following exceptions:
• A Pentium or Xeon with Intel ΕΜ64Τ.
• Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (US. English).
• 4 GB of Random Access Memory.

2 • Overview A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows

System Recommendations
In many cases, the following equipment is not necessary, but will enhance the
experience of using your CMGL software greatly.
• If you intend to run jobs in excess of 500,000 grid blocks, a 64-bit
processor is highly recommended.
• A video card capable of dual output and/or stereographics.
• Stereo viewing may require additional equipment, such as stereo
glasses.
• Two 21 inch monitors.

Selecting Setup Type

CMGL software supports four (4) different setup types:
Choose the license type that best
suits your needs. Notebook users are • Network Server.
encouraged to use the Stand-alone • Network Client.
setup type.
• Stand-alone.
• Commuting.
You should determine which setup type will meet your requirements prior to starting
the installation procedure. If you are using floating licenses, you should determine
which computers the CMGL software will be installed upon. One (and only one) of
these computers will be the Network License Server – use the Network Server setup
type when installing the CMGL software on this computer. All of the other
computers will be Network Clients – use the Network Client setup type when
installing on these computers. Each client will need to know the name of the license
server computer.

NOTE: CMGL software now supports network installations. System

Administrators interested in this option should consult the section
"Installation for System Administrators" later in this manual.

Stand-alone
The Stand-alone setup type installs all the files necessary to run your CMGL
software on a single stand-alone computer using fixed licensing.
Select this type of setup when you install the software on a stand-alone PC or when
you do not wish to share a license between different PCs on a network.

Network Server
The Network Server setup type installs all the files necessary for the computer to
operate as the floating license network server.
If you decide to use floating licenses on a network, you must determine on which
computer to install the network license server. You should have only one computer
acting as a network license server for CMGL software on your network.

A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows Overview • 3


When using floating or commuter
licenses, one (and only one)
computer on the network should be
designated as the Network Server
(see above).
4 • Overview
All other computers on the network should use the Network Client setup type
described below.
Network Client
The Network Client setup installs all the files necessary to run your CMGL software
on a networked computer.
Select this setup type when you install the software on a networked PC and you wish
to use the floating licenses already installed on the Network Server on the network.
You must install your CMGL software on each and every computer you intend to run
it using the Network Client setup type.
Commuting
The Commuting setup installs all the files necessary to run your CMGL software on
a notebook computer
Select this setup type when you are installing on a notebook computer that gets its
license keys from a Network Server. It will use the Network Server whenever it is on
the network and can also check out licenses for use when you are away from the
network (for up to 30 days).
NOTE: The only way you can change your setup type after you install
the software is to uninstall it and reinstall again with the new setup type
selected.
A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows
Installation

Starting the Setup Program

Once you have determined that your system meets the minimum requirements, and
you have decided on a setup type, you may begin the installation procedure. Please
follow these steps to start the setup program:
1. Make sure that you are logged on with administrator privileges.
2. Insert the CMGL installation CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive.
3. Exit ALL applications that you are currently running. This
includes tool bars, system tray applets, virus protection software and
other programs that may be loaded automatically when you start up
your computer.
4. Click on the Start button, select Settings and then select Control
Panel as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Selecting the Control Panel directory from the Start Menu

A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows Installation • 5

 5. Select Add/Remove Programs on the control panel, as shown in
Figure 2.

Figure 2: Selecting the Add/Remove Programs properties control panel

6. When the Add/Remove Programs properties control panel is
displayed, click on the Install button.
7. When the installation wizard is displayed, click on the Next button.
The installation wizard should locate the install program on the CD
automatically.

NOTE: By default this will be the setup.exe at the root of the CD-ROM.
This is the 32-bit install. If you want to run the 64-bit install you should
browse to the EM64T directory of the CD-ROM and select the setup.exe
that is there.

8. Click on the Next button and follow the instructions displayed in each
of the dialog boxes.
9. Restart your computer when the installation is finished to ensure that
the environment set up by the installation program gets set correctly.

NOTE: You can also start the setup program by running the setup.exe
application found on your CMGL software distribution CD. The 32-bit
version of setup.exe is on the root of the CD-ROM. The 64-bit version is
in the EM64T directory of the CD-ROM.

6 • Installation A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows

Using the Setup Program
The setup program provided by CMGL uses a wizard interface to assist you in
installing and configuring your CMGL software.
Once you have started the setup program, a series of dialog boxes will guide you
through the installation process. Each dialog box provides you with a description of
what it does and how it can be used. However, some of the dialog boxes require a
little more explanation. A description of how to use the more complex dialog boxes
is presented next.

Selecting a Setup Type

You can select the setup type you wish to use when the setup type dialog box is
displayed. Figure 3 shows a Setup Type dialog box.

Figure 3: Setup Type dialog box

The Setup Type dialog box allows you to select the four types of setup available to
you: Stand-alone, Network Server, Network Client or Commuter. Your computer
will be automatically configured to work with the setup type you choose here. If you
wish to change your setup type after running the setup program, you will have to
uninstall your CMGL software from the computer, then reinstall and select a new
setup type.

NOTE: The only way you can change your setup type after you install
the software is to uninstall it and reinstall it again with the new setup
type selected.

Designating the Network Server Name

You can install a floating license server on a computer with CMGL-supported
operating system.

A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows Installation • 7


Make a note of the name of the
computer acting as the license
server. When you install the CMGL
software on another computer on the
network, you will need to know this
information.
8 • Installation
If you have decided to use floating licenses on a network, you should have selected a
computer to install the license server on before beginning your installation.
During the installation process, a dialog box will be displayed asking you to enter the
name of the computer that will act as your CMGL network license server. Figure 4
shows this dialog box.
Figure 4: License Server Name dialog box
Enter the name of the computer on which you have decided to run your network
license server. The setup program will then configure the licensing software to
communicate with the license server running on that computer.
NOTE: The License Server Name dialog box will only be displayed if
you have selected a setup type of Network Server or Network Client.
Choosing the Type of Client Installation
NOTE: This dialog box will only be displayed if you have selected a
setup type of Network Server.
This dialog is used to determine whether end users will install the CMGL software
from a location on the network or from the CMGL distribution CD-ROM. For now,
choose the button labeled Clients can install using the CMGL CD-ROM as shown
in Figure 5.
A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows
You can also change the target
directory by selecting the Browse…
button.

Figure 5: Client Installation Method dialog

Selecting Software Applications for Installation

The setup program will display a dialog box that will allow you to select the CMGL
software components you wish to install. The dialog box, shown in Figure 6, has a
list box that will scroll to display all the CMGL software applications available for
installation.

Figure 6: Select Applications dialog

You can fax or email the codes to
CMGL. Our fax number is (403)
282-6495 and our email address is
licenses@cmgl.ca.
10 • Installation
You can identify the component you wish to install by clicking it with your mouse.
The component will then be highlighted. Pressing the space bar on your keyboard
will then select the component. You can also select a component for installation by
placing your cursor in the check box next to the component in the selection list and
clicking your left mouse button. When a component has been selected, you will see
a check mark in the check box next to the component name.
To unselect a selected software component, identify it by clicking it with your
mouse. Again, the component will become highlighted. Pressing the space bar on
your keyboard will then unselect the component. You can also unselect a component
for installation by placing your pointer in the little box next to the component in the
selection list and clicking your left mouse button. When a component has not been
selected, there will be no check mark in the check box next to the component.
Generating the hostid during installation
Near the end of the installation process, a dialog box will be displayed asking if you
would like to generate a hostid.
NOTE: This dialog box will only appear if your se lected setup type is
Stand-alone or Network Server. If for some reason it does not appear,
you will need to restart your computer after installation and run the
Configure License utility to generate a hostid.
The hostid is a code that uniquely identifies a computer. CMGL uses the hostid to
generate an authorization code that allows you to use the applications on a specific
computer.
In the case of a Stand-alone setup type, the CMGL executables will only run on the
computer for which we received the hostid.
In the case of the Network Server setup type, the license server will only recognize
the authorization codes when it is run on the computer with the same hostid used for
generating the authorization codes.
It is important that you send us the hostid so that we can generate your authorization
codes. Your software will not run until you have entered your authorization codes.
NOTE: a license manager controls your CMGL software and will not
function until you have entered authorization codes.
Generating the hostid after installation
If you wish to generate the hostid after the installation has been completed, you
should use the Configure License utility.
This utility will allow you to generate the hostid by clicking on the Get Hostid…
button.
For additional information on the Configure License utility, see the section titled: A
Guide to Using the Configure License Utility later in this manual.
A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows

We can email the codes back to you
if you provide us with an email
address
A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows
Entering Your Authorization Codes
When CMGL receives your hostid, we will generate authorization codes for each
software application that you are entitled to receive. CMGL will then fax or email
your authorization codes back to you.
When you receive the authorization codes, start up the Configure License utility.
You can enter the authorization codes by typing them in the fields for each
application, or you can read them directly from a text file. When you have entered
your authorization codes, click on the Verify button to ensure that they are correct.
Once you have established that the codes are correct click on the OK button to save
your codes and update the license manager.
NOTE: If you are using Network licenses, you will need to restart the
license manager before you can use the new codes.
For additional information on the Configure License utility, see the manual titled: A
Guide to Using the Configure License Utility.

Network Installation for System
Administrators

What's Different About The Install?

NOTE: This installation type is not yet available for 64-bit. If you want
to install the 64-bit software, you should use the normal procedure
described earlier.

The CMGL setup.exe program now gives added flexibility to system administrators.
If you need to install CMGL software over a large network in a controlled manner,
the new setup will allow you to do so. You should be familiar with the normal
installation procedure before reading this section.

NOTE: You should only use the instruction in this section if you are
familiar with the topics discussed. Non-system administrators should
follow the normal installation procedure described earlier in this
manual.

Installing CMGL software over the network is a two step process:

1. The administrator creates the Installation Mount Point by running setup.exe on
the machine containing the network drive. This will create a directory to hold
all of the CMGL software and from which client installations will be done.
2. Users install CMGL software by running setup from the Installation Mount
Point.
The same setup.exe is used for each of the two steps, although in two different
modes. To avoid confusion, these two modes will be referred to as follows:

Administrative Setup
To create the Installation Mount Point, you run setup.exe from the distribution CD-
ROM and first select the Network Server setup type; then select Create an
Installation Mount Point.

12 • Network Installation for System Administrators A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows
 Client Setup
To perform a client setup, a user must map a network drive containing the CMGL
software, then run the setup.exe program contained in the /Install directory.

Why install From the Network?

Installing from an Installation Mount Point allows you to restrict which version of
the CMGL software your users are installing. It also keeps the distribution CD-
ROM from becoming lost.
More importantly, it allows you to pre-select which CMGL components will be
installed onto the client's computer. If your company is only licensed for CMGL
product X, then there is no reason for the end users to install CMGL products X, Y
and Z. It wastes time and computer resources.

Should I Run the Software over the Network?

Whether or not to run the software over the network depends on your client's
individual requirements.
Keeping a single copy of CMGL's software on the network drive will conserve
storage space by not duplicating the software over each user's local computer.
Allowing CMGL software on all of the clients machines takes up disk space (less
than 200 MB) but reduces network overhead. The CMGL software will also startup
and run faster because it will not depend on network throughput.

What's Installed on the Client Computer?

Clients must still run the setup program to use the CMGL software. In addition to
properly configuring the system, several files are also copied to the local machine:
• Core Windows components.
• Third-party components.
• CMGL applications, documentation and template files.
The core components and third-party components are always copied to the local
computer. The CMGL applications, documentation and templates are either copied
to the local machine or remain on the network drive (depending on the sort of
installation the system administrator selects).

Administrative Installation
You should be familiar with the standard Network Server setup type installation
before proceeding.

Before you install on the Network Server

Create a directory to hold the CMGL software you are about to install. The
Installation Mount Point must have at least 400 MB of disk space, and you (the
Administrator) must have read, write, delete, and create permission to this location.
Users need to have read access as well. During the administrative mode of setup,
you will select this folder to install the software. This folder will be referred to as
<CMG_HOME>. The client installation will be in <CMG_HOME>\Install.

A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows Network Installation for System Administrators • 13
 Familiarize yourself with the normal installation. Make sure that:
• If a previous version of the CMGL software exists, its Install folder is
empty.
• No one is using CMGL software on the network.
• The destination folder is locked to network user access during
administrative installation.
• Virus detection software is disabled.
You must also know the name this computer has on the network.
Finally, you must know what software your company is entitled to receive according
to your contract with CMGL. Your CMGL Marketing Representative can provide
you with this information if it is unavailable to you.

Installing on the Network Server

Install the CMGL software as you would normally. Launch the setup.exe program
located on the distribution CD-ROM and follow the instructions. The program will
take you through the following steps:
• A dialog welcoming you to the installation.
• The CMGL licensing agreement will be displayed. You must agree to this
license to proceed with the installation.
• A copy of the CD-ROM's readme file will be displayed showing late
breaking information about the installation.
• Next the program will ask for your name and your company's name.
• Now you will be asked to select a Setup Type. Choose Network Server.

Creating an Installation Mount Point

You will be asked whether you wish to create an Installation Mount Point. Selecting
Create an Installation Mount Point will create an additional directory with the rest
of your CMGL software named /Install, containing a customized installation script
for your clients to use. Choosing Clients can Install using the CMGL CD-ROM
will mean that the Installation Mount Point will not be created and you will need to
install the software from the distribution CD-ROM. An example of the Client
Installation Method dialog box is in Figure 8.

14 • Network Installation for System Administrators A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows
 Figure 8: Client Installation Method dialog box

Choosing Where the Shared Files will reside

If you chose to create an Installation Mount Point in the previous step, you will be
asked where shared files will reside when a user runs the Client Installation. An
example of the Shared File Location dialog box is shown below:

Figure 9: Shared File Location dialog box

NOTE: The Shared File Location dialog box will only be displayed if
you choose to create an Installation Mount Point.

A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows Network Installation for System Administrators • 15
 The three options are described below:

All files on local computer

The Client Installation will copy all of the selected files to the local (client)
computer. This option will take the most hard drive space but will allow the
software to run at its fastest (with a minimum amount of network traffic).

Minimum files on local computer

The Client Installation will only copy core windows components and third-party
components necessary to operate your CMGL software. All other files, including the
CMGL product executables, will remain on the network drive. Links to the network
drive will allow the software to be stored remotely but run locally.

Let the client decide

This option allows the client to decide between the above two options. A dialog box
will be displayed during the Client Installation, allowing the user to make their
choice.

Modifying the Administrator readme.txt File

Along with the client's version of the setup.exe program, the file cmgladmin.txt is
created in the /Install directory. This file is displayed to the user during a Client
Installation. Systems Administrators are encouraged to modify this file as they see
fit.

Client Installation
To install the CMGL software on the client computers, users must:
1. Map the network driver containing the CMG_HOME directory.
2. Run the Client Installation program in <CMG_HOME>\Install\Setup.exe.
When users run the client setup.exe from the Installation Mount Point, they will see
a bare minimum of dialog boxes compared to the normal installation.

Mounting the CMG_HOME directory

The user must map a network drive containing the CMG_HOME directory.
Instructions on how to map network drives are given in Windows help.
This directory must be the CMG_HOME directory (or a higher level directory that
contains CMG_HOME as a sub-directory). You should not map a sub-directory of
CMG_HOME (such as the /Install directory) as your CMGL software will not
function properly.

Running the setup.exe program

To run the Client Installation program, open the mapped drive, and run the program
<CMG_HOME>\ Install\Setup.exe.

NOTE: It is very important that you run the setup.exe program from the
mapped network drive and not from the Network Neighborhood.

16 • Network Installation for System Administrators A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows
 Reading the Administrator readme.txt file
The Administrator Information dialog box contains important information from your
System Administrator regarding your CMGL software. Please ensure that you read
the information completely before moving onto the next step in the installation. An
example of the Administration Information dialog box is shown below:

Figure 10: Administration Information dialog box

Choosing Where the Shared Files will reside

This dialog gives the user the choice of storing and running CMGL applications from
a shared network drive or from their local machine. Choose the option that best
serves your needs. An example of the Shared File Location dialog box is shown
below:

A Guide to Installing CMGL Software on Windows Network Installation for System Administrators • 17
 Figure 11: Shared File Location dialog box
The two options are described below:

All files on local computer

The Client Installation will copy all of the selected files to the local (client)
computer. This option will take the most hard drive space but will allow the
software to run at its fastest (with the minimum amount of network traffic).

Minimum files on local computer

The Client Installation will only copy core windows components and third-party
components necessary to operate your CMGL software. All other files; including the
CMGL product executables, will remain on the network drive. Links to the network
drive will allow the software to be stored remotely but run locally.

NOTE: This dialog box will only appear if your System Administrator
has allowed it to appear while setting up the Installation Mount Point.
The decision to store shared files locally or on the network may have
already been made for you.

Restarting the Computer

At the end of the installation you will be asked to restart your computer. Your
CMGL software will not function until you have rebooted.

Uninstalling Software

Before Uninstalling Your Software

Uninstallation Preparation
Before you uninstall your software, you should ensure that you are not running any
of the applications that you intend to uninstall.
If you are uninstalling the software from the computer acting as the network license
server, you must stop the license server prior to uninstalling the applications.

Stopping the Network License Server on Windows

98 and ME
The network license server that runs on Windows 9x is a standard executable
application that is running on your Windows 9x computer. To stop it, simp ly locate
the SentinelLM License Manager on the taskbar and close it. The SentinelLM
License Manger should have a button located on the Windows taskbar when it is
running.

NOTE: Windows 9x/ME is no longer supported – this information is

provided to allow you to remove earlier versions of the CMGL software.

Stopping the Network License Server on Windows

NT 4, 2000 and XP
The network license server that runs on Windows NT is a service. To stop the
service and uninstall it, you must run a special application included with your CMGL
software. The application is called LoadLS.exe and is located in the secure
directory where you installed your CMGL software.
To run the application, you must be logged on - with Administrator privileges - to
the Windows NT computer running the service. Locate the LoadLS.exe in the
secure directory under the directory where your CMGL software is installed. Run
the LoadLS.exe program and click on the Remove button. If the service was
installed on the computer, it will be removed. The LoadLS.exe program is shown in
Figure 12.
