| The information on this page refers to LM-X v4.4.5 and newer, which added the ability to compile a clean SDK. If you are using an older version of LM-X, refer to documentation for v4.4.4 and earlier. |
The LM-X License Manager installation wizard guides you through the installation procedure, so you can be up and running on a Windows machine in 5 minutes or less.
Note: If you want to use both MinGW and Visual Studio libraries, you should compile a single SDK twice: first using nmake to initialize Visual Studio libraries, and then with mingw32-make to initialize MinGW libraries.
To install LM-X on a Windows machine:
Step 1. Start the installation wizard.
Step 2. Accept the X-Formation End User License Agreement.
Step 3. Choose whether to use an existing LM-X security configuration file.
Note the following:
- If you are installing LM-X for the first time: Choose the first option.
- If you are upgrading LM-X to a newer version or compiling LM-X on multiple platforms: Choose an existing LM-X security configuration 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.
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.
