Step by Step Guide to Install and Configure HyperWorks on
Windows XP, Vista & 7 (32 & 64 bit)
Hi dear all friends.
First of all I am sorry for late reply because a lot of friends asked for the installation procedure
around two or three months ago. But I was too busy so that its take a lot of time to help you
all.
So today I will share and discuss the installation of HyperWorks on Windows XP x64. Hope
that this will also work on other Windows including Window Vista (32 & 64 bit) and Windows
7 (32 & 64 bit). Before installation make sure that you are logged on with Administrator
account because You need administrator permissions to complete this setup.
The installation will complete in following steps:
1. Install License Server.
2. Prepare license file for installation and Configure License File.
3. Install the HyperWorks 10.
4. Set up the environment variable.
1. Now Install License Server on your computer.
Open your DVD and go to Licensing Directory.
Double Click on Setup.exe file. This will start the installation of License Server on
your Computer.
It will show you the Welcome screen. Click on Next.
Now it will ask you to choose destination location. Keep the location same as
shown. ( Like : C:\Altair\licensing10.0)
The setup will complete the installation and ask you to Finish.
2. So we will start from the beginning with preparation of License File. To prepare
and edit your license file for configuration follow the below steps :
Copy your license file in C:\Altair\licensing10.0\security.
Open your license file with notepad.
Type your Computer Name in First line After SERVER (Like: Server
complete_name) And after port value (Like : 7788@complete_name) as shown
below.
Save and Close the License File.
Here complete_name is my computer name. To know your computer name click here.
Now run the FLEXlm Utility from Start > All Program > Altair Licensing 10.0 >
FLEXlm Utility
1. Click on Config Services.

On the Choose Destination Location dialog, select where HyperWorks will be
installed.
For local installs: Verify that the path name specified in Path: is correct. The
default path is
C:\Altair\hw10.0. If needed, use the Browse button to select a different directory.
For license server or application server installs: Click the Browse box and find
Network Neighborhood. From Network Neighborhood, locate the server name and
specify the installation path.
Click Next.

On the Choose Installation Type panel, select either Complete or Custom.
Complete installs all HyperWorks applications. Custom allows you to choose the
individual applications you want to install.

If you selected Custom, select the applications to install by activating the check
box next to the
name of the application to be installed.
To de-select an application, click the check box to remove the check.
Note: HyperWorks Desktop applications contain a functionality called
HyperWorks Desktop Quick Launch. It automatically pre-loads the
HyperWorks Desktop readers and DLLs upon machine booting time when
this function is enabled. To turn it off, deselect it from the list under
Custom/Desktop.
The help is an HTML browser-based system that requires a proper browser to
view the content.
On Windows, the default browser will be used by HyperWorks help. If the help is
deselected and not installed on this machine, you can specify the path of an
existing 10.0 help installation in the window prompt, which allows applications to
access help set on a different server.

Click Next to start the installation.
The Setup dialog indicates the components being installed.
At the end of the installation, the Altair installation wizard displays several
information boxes.
Read each, then click OK to continue the installation process.

On the InstallShield Wizard Complete dialog, click Finish to close the Altair
HyperWorks
installation wizard.
4. Set up the environment variable:
This method is commonly used to connect a local HyperWorks installation to the Altair
license manager. It sets the environment variable ALTAIR_LM_LICENSE_FILE using the
port@hostname syntax. Any time the license changes, only the license server(s) will need to
be updated. Follow the instructions for your operating system.
Windows XP x64
1. Go to Start menu.
2. Right-click My Computer
3. Select Properties.
4. Select the Advanced tab.
5. Click Environment variables.
6. Under User Variables:, click on new and type ALTAIR_LM_LICENSE_FILE in variable
name.
7. For Value: 7788@complete_name (Replace complete_name with your computer
name)
Hope that this guide will help you to install, configure and run the HyperWorks on your
Windows plateform.
If have any query/feedback feel free to leave comments.
Thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for your tutorial, it helped me a lot. But actually i've a problem with the FLEXim
utilities, it doesn't want to start. I checked up the server status and i got this message :
lmgrd is not running: Cannot connect to license server system.
The license server manager (lmgrd) has not been started yet,
the wrong port@host or license file is being used, or the
port or hostname in the license file has been changed.
FLEXnet Licensing error:-15,10. System Error: 10061 "WinSock: Connection refused"
Therefore i'm not able to launch hyperworks. Can you help me please ?

Hi you guys!
I know this is a little late, but I hope it helps anyway. CAD helper forgot to include one very
impt step. Copy lmgrd & altair_lm from MAGNITUDE\Altair\hw10.0\security\win32 to
C:\Altair\hw10.0\security\win32
Then stop and start your server again, and try to reopen hyperworks. Worked like a charm
for us!
Hope it helps!

Hi,
I had the same problem when installing on win7. I did all the things described in this
tutorial but at the end, when trying to run the program, an error appeared. I updated the
lmtools configuration and it started working! So DON'T tick "use services" & "starts server
at power up", save the service, go to "Start/stop/reread" and click on start. Then a
message from win appears to unblock the program, select yes and run the program. Now
it should work.
