Version 14
A. Install the SAP2000 Software C. Install the Client Software
1. On the server, insert the DVD into the DVD-Rom drive, go
to the Installation page and click on the Network button.
(Note that this installation is for le sharing only and not for
running the program. If you want to run SAP2000 on this
computer you will also need to complete a client installation
per step C.)
B. Install the License Manager Software
1. The communications protocol is TCP/IP.
2. The DVD also contains the Sentinel RMS License Manager
version 8. You must install this version to recognize a
SAP2000 14 License. If you are currently running an earlier
version of SentinelLM, then it should be uninstalled prior to
installing this version. Note that all commuter licenses should
be checked in before uninstalling the old version.
Click on the License Manager button on the DVD and follow
the instructions to install it. (Note that you can install this
software on any Windows NT/2000/XP computer on your
network; it does not have to be installed on a server.) If you
have uninstalled an earlier version of SentinelLM, you must
copy the existing license le "lservrc" (from the English
folder) to the newly created folder and run "loadls.exe" to
Remove and then Add the service. This will register your
"lservrc" le with the new version of SentinelLM.
3. A 30-day temporary license for one user is included with
the package. To register the temporary license, double click
"lsLicense.bat" located in the "SAP2000 14 Server\License
Manager" folder which was installed in Step A.
4. For more detailed information about the Sentinel RMS
License Manager or the License Manager Administration
Program "WlmAdmin,” see the System Administrator's Help
which can be accessed from Start > All Programs >
Computers and Structures > SAP2000 14 Server. It will be
available after Step A above.
For STANDALONE INSTALLATION see reverse/previous page
1. Run "Setup.exe,” located in the "SAP2000 14 Server" folder
on the network server, from each workstation. This will copy
support les to the workstation and set up a link to SAP2000
on the server. Note for Vista users: Setup.exe must be "Run
as Administrator" (use right button click on Setup.exe)
2. Alternatively, you can run the standalone installation on
each workstation and have all the SAP2000 les installed
locally. To do this, insert the DVD into the DVD drive, go to the
Installation page and click on the Standalone button.
3. If SAP2000 is slow in locating the license (or can't nd it),
set the System Environmental Variable LSFORCEHOST on the
workstation to the host name of the computer running the
License Manager software. Reboot the workstation for the
Environment Variable to take e ect. Refer to the System
Administrator’s Help if you need help on setting this variable.
D. To Obtain a Network License File
You will need the les "Echoid.exe" and "Echoid.dat" on the
computer running the License Manager software. These les
are installed on the SAP2000 server computer in the
"SAP2000 14 Server\License Manager" folder. If the License
Manager software is installed on a computer di erent from
the SAP2000 server computer then they must be copied to
the License Manager computer.
Locked to a Computer:

Computer Disk ID Locking Code eld on the License Request
Form.
Locked to a Computer ID Key:
