Network Authorization Quick Start GuideNetwork Authorization Quick Start Guide
Freedom Scientific software products require the proper authorization to run. 
Client computers that use the software will connect to a license server which 
authorizes the software. This guide describes the steps required to: 
  Install the Network Authorization tools and software 
  Install the License Server 
  Obtain a license code and activate your software 
  Install and authorize the product on client systems 
  Remove Network Authorization from the server 
Installing Network Authorization
The process described below allows you to install the license server, which 
authorizes client systems to use your Freedom Scientific product. This 
installation also creates a program folder in your Start menu that provides 
access to Network Authorization documentation and tools. 
  To begin the installation, insert your multi-user Authorization CD or Network 
  License Server Utilities CD into your computers CD-ROM drive. Choose Install 
  to continue. 
Note: If the installation does not begin automatically, press WINDOWS Key+R, 
type D:\Setup.exe and press ENTER. If your CD-ROM drive is not D:, then 
substitute the correct letter. 
  If the license server is not installed on this computer, the InstallShield 
  Wizard for SentinelLM Server starts. Choose Next to begin installing the 
  license server. 
Note: You can only install the license server on a computer that runs Windows 95 
or later. Other operating systems such as Novell, UNIX, Linux, and so on are not 
supported. 
  If you need to install the license server, read the license agreement. If you 
  accept the terms and conditions in the agreement, choose Yes. 
  By default, the license server is installed in C:\Program Files\Rainbow 
  Technologies\SentinelLM 7.2.0.6 Server. If you want to install the license 
  server in a different folder, choose Browse and select a new folder. Choose 
  Next to continue with the installation. 
  When the installation is complete, choose Finish. The Network Authorization 
  tools and license server are now installed. If you are using Windows 2000, NT, 
  or XP, the SentinelLM service is automatically added to your Windows 
  Services. 
The installation creates a new folder in your Start menu called Freedom 
Scientific. Each shortcut in this folder is briefly described below: 
  Quick Start Guide - View the quick start guide for Freedom Scientific Network 
  Authorization. 
  System Administrators Guide  View additional information on license 
  management, installation, optional features, administrator commands, user 
  options, and environment variables. 
  Server Administration - Launch the WlmAdmin utility that allows you to monitor 
  the license server and perform some administrative actions. For more 
  information, refer to the System Administrators Guide. For details on using 
  JAWS with this program, see Managing Your Licenses. 
  Service Loader - Add or remove the license server as a service called 
  SentinelLM in your Windows NT System Service registry. On Windows NT 
  systems, the license server must be running as a service in order to authorize 
  client systems. 
  Uninstall Network Setup - Uninstall Network Authorization documentation and 
  tools and (optionally) the license server. 
  Update Product Name Authorization - Begin the activation process for your 
  Freedom Scientific product. Product Name is the name of the program you want 
  to activate, such as JAWS or MAGic. 
Product Activation on the Internet
After you have installed the Network Authorization tools and license server, you 
must then activate your Freedom Scientific product license. To do this, you must 
request an Activation License code from Freedom Scientific. You can use the 
Internet to receive your Activation License code quickly and easily. 
Perform the following to activate your Freedom Scientific product: 
  From the Start menu, choose Freedom Scientific, Network, Update Product Name 
  Authorization (Product Name is the name of the program you want to activate). 
  Choose the Activate button to begin the activation. 
  Select the Now, using the Internet (RECOMMENDED) radio button to specify that 
  you want to use the Internet to acquire your Activation License code. Choose 
  Next to continue. 
  Your 20-digit Authorization number is automatically inserted into the 
  Authorization Number edit box. If your Authorization number is not shown, type 
  it into the edit box. Choose Next to continue. 
  If you have not registered your software, you are asked to do so now. 
  Registering lets you receive technical support. Choose Register Now and 
  complete the online registration form by following the instructions provided. 
  You can choose to register later, but you must register the next time you 
  activate the software on any computer. 
  After you submit your registration, Internet License Manager attempts to 
  activate the software. This process may take several minutes. When the 
  activation is successful, choose Finish. 
Note: If Internet License Manager cannot activate the software, you may need to 
reconfigure your firewall. For more information, see Activating through a 
Firewall. 
  If the WlmAdmin utility is running, quit the program. Then, restart the 
  utility by opening the Start menu and choosing Programs, Freedom Scientific, 
  Network, Server Administration. You can use this utility to monitor where the 
  license(s) reside and which users are using tokens. 
You can now install the Freedom Scientific product on the client systems. Refer 
to Setting Up Client Computers for more information. 
Activating through a Firewall
If your firewall software prevents you from activating JAWS using the Internet, 
reconfigure the firewall to allow the following files to run: FSActivate.exe, 
CAUtil.exe, and CAUtil.enu. If you installed JAWS in the default location, all 
these files are located in the C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific folder. Once 
you have reconfigured your firewall, retry the activation process. The following 
is a complete list of all files that need to be allowed by the firewall when 
using JAWS:
      File NameConnection TypeIncoming PortOutgoing Port
      JAWS\6.20\JFW.exeUDP50935093
      JAWS\6.20\JFW.exeUDP50945094
      JAWS\6.20\JFW.exe
      (Only required if using redundant license servers)UDP50965096
      Activator\1.1\CAUtil.dllTCP/IP8080
      Activator\1.1\CAUtil.dllTCP/IP2021
      JAWS\6.20\FSAuth.exeUDP50935093
      Activator\1.1\FSActivate.exeTCP/IP8080

If you cannot reconfigure the firewall, or if you still cannot activate the 
software, go to www.FSActivate.com. Follow the instructions on the Web page to 
retrieve an Activation License code. 
To use FSActivate.com, you will need your Authorization number and the license 
servers Locking code. If you have installed the program you want to activate on 
the license server, you can find the Locking code in the programs About box. 
If you have not installed the program on the license server, do the following to 
find the Locking code: 
  From the Start menu, choose Freedom Scientific, Network, Update Product Name 
  Authorization. 
  Choose Start Activation. 
  If you are asked to insert your Authorization CD, specify that you want to 
  enter the Authorization number manually. 
  Choose Activate. 
  Select the Telephone to Receive Activation by Mail radio button and press 
  ENTER. 
  The server's Locking code is shown on the page that displays. 
  After you copy the Locking code, choose Quit. 
Using Activation Media Image Creator
You can use Activation Media Image Creator as an alternative method for 
activating your software. This is a free program from Freedom Scientific that 
will allow a user with an Internet connection to retrieve Activation License 
codes from Internet License Manager. The user can then distribute these 
Activation License codes on CD, 3.5-inch disk, or e-mail. 
To download the installation package for the Activation Media Image Creator, 
visit www.FSActivate.com. After you install the program, follow the instructions 
in the Activation Media Image Creator online help to retrieve and distribute 
Activation License codes from Internet License Manager. 
Setting Up Client Computers
Now that the license server is installed and running, you must install your 
Freedom Scientific product on the client computers. You do not need to perform 
additional authorization procedures for these computers. Each time the software 
is started on the client, it will automatically search for the license server 
and obtain an authorization token. 
The number of tokens available depends on the number of users permitted by your 
license. For example, if you purchased a license for five users, your license 
server will have five tokens available. Each time a user starts the software, 
the license server assigns the client computer a token. Once all tokens are 
assigned, no additional clients can receive authorization. 
If you need your license to support additional users, contact your local 
distributor or Freedom Scientific to purchase additional seats. 
Tip: If you know the name or IP address of the computer that will run the 
SentinelLM license server, it is recommended that you add the environment 
variable LSFORCEHOST to the client computers and set it to this name or address. 
When the Freedom Scientific program starts, it will only search for a product 
license on the specified computer. If you have distributed the license over more 
than one license server and you want the program to search for the first 
available token, do not add this environment variable. For more information, 
refer to the System Administrators Guide. 
Managing Your Licenses
You can use WlmAdmin to administer your Freedom Scientific product licenses and 
manage your license server. To start WlmAdmin, open the Start menu and choose 
Freedom Scientific, Network, Server Administration. For details on using 
WlmAdmin, refer to the System Administrator's Guide. A shortcut to this PDF 
guide is located in the Network subfolder. If you are using JAWS with WlmAdmin, 
you can use the following commands to work with the program.
Move to the Server Tree View
Press INSERT+SHIFT+T from any location in the WlmAdmin window to move to the 
tree view that lists server computers. 
Viewing Server Information
Most of the server information is shown on a single pane within the WlmAdmin 
application. You can press F6 from the server tree view to the Server 
Information area. Since you can only navigate this area with the JAWS or 
invisible cursors, JAWS displays the information in the Virtual Viewer. You can 
press F6 again to close the Virtual Viewer and move back to the server tree 
view.
Reading Static Client Information
When you move to the Client Info tab and select an item in the list view, 
WlmAdmin displays additional client information. You can read this information 
by pressing INSERT+SHIFT+C. The information JAWS reads includes user name, 
licenses in use, held license, and start time. 
Reading Static License Information
When you move to the License Info tab and select an item in the list view, 
WlmAdmin displays additional license information. You can read this information 
by pressing INSERT+SHIFT+L. The information JAWS reads includes license type, 
allow commuter license, start date, and end date.
Removing Network Authorization 
To delete licenses from the license server, do the following: 
  Start Notepad. 
  From the File menu, choose Open. 
  Navigate to the folder where you installed the license server. The default 
  folder is C:\Program Files\Rainbow Technologies\SentinelLM 7.2.0.6 Server. 
  Open the ENU (English) folder. If you are using a different language version 
  of the license server, open the appropriate folder instead. 
  Select the file named Lservrc and press ENTER. 
  Select a license that you want to remove and press DELETE. Continue this 
  process until you have deleted all the licenses you want to remove. A product 
  license consists of a long string of alphanumeric characters. Items and/or 
  strings of text that appear after a pound (#) sign are comments that can be 
  left in the file or deleted as well. After you delete a license, client 
  computers can no longer use it to obtain authorization. 
  After you delete the licenses, you must restart the license server program. 
  Press WINDOWS Key+R and choose Browse. Navigate to the folder where you 
  installed the SentinelLM license server, select "Lsrvdown.exe" and press 
  ENTER. Type a space after the path, followed by the host name of the server 
  you want to restart, and choose OK. 
  Press WINDOWS Key+R and choose Browse. Navigate to the folder where you 
  installed the SentinelLM license server. Select "Lsrvnt.exe" if you are using 
  Windows NT/2000/XP or "Lserv9x.exe" if you are using Windows 95/98, and then 
  press ENTER. If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP, type a space after the path, 
  followed by "-X start." Choose OK to start the license server. 
Note: You must be logged in as a Network Administrator to stop or start the 
license server.
Removing Authorization Numbers from the Registry 
Deleting licenses does not remove your Authorization number from the servers 
registry. To remove this number, do the following: 
  Press WINDOWS Key+R. 
  Type C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Activator\1.1\FsLicenseClean.exe. 
  Be sure to type the quotation marks. If your Freedom Scientific product 
  activation files are stored on a drive other than C, substitute the correct 
  drive letter. 
  Type a blank space and then do one of the following: 
    Type JAWS 1 to remove your JAWS Authorization numbers from the registry. 
    Type MAGic 1 to remove your MAGic Authorization numbers from the registry. 
  Press ENTER. 
Uninstalling the License Server and Network Tools
To uninstall the license server and/or Network Authorization tools, do the 
following 
  Shut down the license server program. To do this, press WINDOWS Key+R and 
  choose Browse. Navigate to the folder where you installed the SentinelLM 
  license server, select "Lsrvdown.exe" and press ENTER. Type a space after the 
  path, followed by the host name of the server you want to shut down, and press 
  ENTER. 
Note: You must be logged in as a Network Administrator to shut down the license 
server.
  From the Start menu, choose Freedom Scientific, Network, Uninstall Network 
  Setup. 
  Choose OK to remove the Network Authorization tools and documentation. 
  You are asked if you want to uninstall the license server. Do not choose Yes 
  if you have other programs that use this license server to obtain 
  authorization.
