709 Alignment System Installation 25
Obtain the License File and NIC Installation
Before you install the licensing software later in this section, you will need to
obtain a license file.
One license file is supplied for each 709 alignment system.
In a networked connection environment, the license file is created for the PC with
the NIC, which will be the “server” and any other PC on the network will be a
“client”. The client will use the same license file as used for the server in order to
install the MTS licensing software. The server PC will need to be running for the
client PC to run the Alignment software.
In most cases, the 709 Alignment system will be configured at MTS and the
licence file will be created and shipped with the system. However, in some cases,
the 709 Alignment system will be configured on site and you will need to obtain
a license file from the factory. If you already have a license, you only need to
install the network interface card (NIC) and skip the rest of this procedure.
To obtain the license file, you need to get the Physical Address of the NIC and
send that physical address number to MTS. MTS will then send you the license
file required for the MTS licensing software installation.
1. The 709 Alignment software comes with two batch files that will retrieve
the information MTS needs to provide you with the license file. To start
with, insert the 709 Alignment software CD in the computer’s Compact
Disk drive. Copy the two batch files (IPConfigAfter.bat and
IPConfigBefore.bat) to your C:\ drive.
2. The first batch file should be run before you install the NIC; this will
retrieve physical addresses of any network card(s) that might already be
installed and generate a text file that contains that information. Locate the
file IPConfigBefore.bat that you just copied to your C:\ drive and double
click to run it.When IPConfigBefore.bat is done running, a text file
(IPConfigBefore.txt) is generated and placed on your C:\ drive.
