After the download is complete, an installation wizard will smoothly step you through the installation procedure. (See also Performing a silent installation.)
The following steps are designed to get X-Formation's LM-X License Manager up and running on Windows in 5 minutes or less.
Step 1. Start the installation wizard.
Step 2. Accept X-Formation End User License Agreement.
Step 3. Choose the LM-X security configuration file (security_config.lmx).
Note the following:
- If you are installing LM-X for the first time: Choose the first option.
- If you are upgrading to a newer version of LM-X or compiling LM-X on multiple platforms: Choose an existing security_config.lmx file.
If you have chosen the second option above, use an existing security_config.lmx.file from a previous LM-X installation, as shown below.
Step 4. Choose the proper installation directory and click Next.
Note: Upon first compilation of the LM-X SDK, the LM-X security configuration file (security_config.lmx) is automatically created in the config directory. This file holds various security-related parameters, and is used to create license files and embed the security configuration into the license server and client libraries.
Step 5. Click Install to begin the installation.
Step 6. Click Finish to finish the installation.
Step 7. Activate the license.
Note the following:
- If you are installing LM-X for the first time: Enter your Activation Key (sent to you via email).
- If you are upgrading LM-X: Select the option to browse for and select a previously activated license file.
