HASP License Manager
The HASP License Manager is an independent application that
serves as a link between the HASP hardware lock and the protected GTX
application. Install the HASP License Manager on the computer to which you
connect your netHASP key. The HASP License Manager supports IPX, NetBIOS, and
TCP/IP (UDP and TCP modes). By default, it listens to all three protocols at
once. Instructions on this page will only pertain to networked Microsoft
Windows operating systems.
The following descriptions and version information cover what is
known to be the most typical type of License Manager installation as of this
writing. The installation is not difficult and success rates are high for a
first time user. A program named LMSETUP.EXE will install the HASP License
Manager application.
The
LMSETUP program is provided on the GTX CD in the HASP\Server\Win32 folder and
in the License sub-folder of the installed GTXRaster CAD or ImageCAD program.
Other availability is provided by Aladdin Knowledge systems, under 'Support and
Downloads', on their web site.
http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/hasp4/enduser.asp. The
HASP_License_Manager.zip download is the latest available version.
Advanced help is available in the NHSRVW32.HLP file, located on
the GTX CD in the HASP\Server\Win32 folder and in the License sub-folder of the
installed software program. The following images describe all of the steps
encountered during the LMSETUP.EXE installation process. In detail the steps
are;
-

currently running NetHASP License managers.
-
Aladdin End User License Agreement.
-
Installation Type, requesting a choice of installation as a
Windows service (NT, 2000, XP, 2003) or as an application (Windows 98).

Device driver installation. A device driver is necessary for the Windows
operating system to recognize the HASP hardware device.

application. Finish, to complete the installation of the License Manager.
Please read additional information provided at the end of this
page before you run LMSetup.
At the finish of a HASP License Manager installation, installed
as a service, a red, white, and blue icon will appear in the System Tray next
to the Windows desktop clock. That is an indication that a License Manager is
in operation.
A double click on the HASP icon will open a window titled, HASP License Manager

to study advanced options and descriptions of this program.
WINDOWS XP FIREWALL
Port 475 must be open as a firewall exception to allow the HASP
server to communicate with remote GTX client computer software. When the
choice, 'create firewall rules to enable these ports', is selected on the XP
SP2 Firewall Settings step of the HASP License Manager installation, exceptions to firewall port blocking are
created automatically.
