GL - Software products without installing the products.

3 INSTALLATION
This section describes the installation process.
The dialogs below may look slightly different on your system depending on the operating system and
localisation (e.g. English, Chinese, etc.).

Setup.exe purpose

The program setup.exe checks your system and starts to install the Licence Manager.

Some system may require a reboot during the pre-requisite installation phase, reboot when
prompted.

The following steps are for a system running an English 64 bit Windows 7 Professional N version with
no additional software and took about 1 minute to run through on a machine with 2core 2.2GHz with
2GB RAM.

Mozilla Firefox behaviour

If you using Firefox browser from Mozilla, its

security setting will prevent you from starting the
installation, start the installation by clicking on
setup.exe as described later.

| INSTALLATION NOTES | Licence Manager | Page 4

If you have received a DVD for Phast 7.0, you can

also start the installation from the Installation
page. If so, disregard the following step and carry
on from the security dialog.

Note: If you only have a setup.exe, go to the next

step.

Start the installation process by double-clicking

on the setup.exe file

Depending on your setting the file may be

displayed as setup (without the file extension
.exe). In this case select the file with type
“Application” and not the type “Configuration

4 SETTING UP A LICENCE FOR PHAST V7.0

4.1 Do I Need to Request a Licence File from DNV GL -

Software?
You will not need to request a licence file if

1. Your existing licence file is valid for Phast v7.0 (Phast Lite or Phast) and the extension (e.g.
multi-component) that you wish to use. Any licences from previous versions of Phast are not
compatible with Phast 7.0. You (or the System Administrator) must obtain a licence file for
Phast 7.0, as described in the next section.
Or

2. The Licensing has already been set up by the System Administrator

• Some types of licence1 are specific to a machine and all licensing is handled locally on
that machine. If you have arranged with DNV GL - Software to use this type of licence,
you would normally set up the licensing yourself on your machine.
• Other types of licence are specific to a Security Key (sometimes called a dongle) that can
be moved between machines, or are handled by a network server and not by the
individual machines that are running Phast. For these types of licence the System
Administrator may handle the process of obtaining the licence file from DNV GL -
Software, and then making the file available to users of Phast.
The process of requesting a licence file is described in the next section.

If you are going to use a file supplied by your System Administrator, you can omit the stage of
requesting a licence file and proceed immediately to the final stage: running Phast 7.0 to import the
licence file.

4.2 Request a Licence File

The following process is a simplified version of a normal licence setting. You do not need any specific
user rights to perform it.

1
Licence types are Floating (sometimes called Concurrent), Standalone and Security Key. Floating and
Standalone licences are called Network licences in this document and they require specific setting as described in
the section “Setting a Windows Service”. The Network licence file contains the line “VENDOR dnvslm”.

Send request and Save request to disk

Once you have selected the required licence

there are two options available depending on
how you intend to send the licence details. You
can either send (by the way of an email client
(e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird) already installed on
the PC) or save the request to disk if you cannot
email now.

Save request to disk

If you do not have an email client installed then

you can choose to “Save request to disk” and this
will save the Configuration Details to a local
folder or drive. This can then be transferred or
processed at a later date.

minute for all the processes to be active.

It is worth checking that all processes are running

using Windows Task Manager.

Three processes should be running as shown on

the right in the tab Processes:
