Note that you will need to use gunzip (Unix) or Winzip (Windows^®) to uncompress the downloaded files.

The floating password file must be named lservrc and placed in the %ADINAHOME%\Sentinel directory.

After the password file lservrc is placed in the %ADINAHOME%\Sentinel directory, you can start the license manager using

Start > Programs > ADINA System 8.6 > Floating License > License Server

Run the echoid.exe command in the <ADINA home directory>/slm directory.

cd <ADINA home directory>/slm
