System Requirements
Following is a list of the minimum system requirements for running PTW:

Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista

Pentium III 600Mhz or better;
4 GB hard disk space;
512 MB of RAM (1 GB or more recommended for large projects);
CD-ROM drive
Printer or plotter recommended.

What is the Hardware Key?

The hardware key protects your investment and ours, and allows multiple people to use the
software without violating the license agreement. Your PTW software will include one of
these keys, and will not run without it. However, once you have installed the key, you can
forget about itthe key does its job automatically.

How can I tell what operating system I have?

Right-click on your My Computer icon and select Properties. The information about your operating system can be
seen in the message box.

Should I Install PTW on the Server or the Workstations?

You have two options for installing and running PTW on a network:
1.

Install PTW on each workstation (preferable if you want each user to have his or her own set of Libraries);

(or)
2.

Install PTW on a dedicated or non-dedicated file server and run PTW on each workstation using a shortcut to
that file server (preferable if you want everyone to use the same set of Libraries).
If you use option 2, you will need to install the font files used to every workstation (the font files are used by the
load schedule reports, Crystal Reports and the on-line Reference Manual.) To install the font files to every
workstation, insert the PTW CD in the workstation's CD-ROM drive. The following screen will appear
automatically.

Click the Install Power*Tools for Windows (PTW)

Software option.

Now click the Network Installation option.

Now click the "Install Fonts to Workstation" option.

Now click the "Add Font Files" button.

Additional files are needed to be register to use the Crystal reports in PTW. To install the Crystal reports. To
install these Crystal Report files use the run command line and type \PTW32\BIN\CR_SETUP.EXE. The
Crystal Report installation program will start

Use the browse buttons to specify the location of the PTW32 program CD; then use the second browse button to
specify the install location for PTW32.

Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista server

Part 1:
Getting the
server to
broadcast
the
hardware
key
1.

Attach the hardware key to the server. (You may attach the hardware key to a workstation instead of the server,
but you must keep that workstation turned on anytime another workstation wants to use PTW. Since users
typically turn off their workstations when they leave work, we recommend that you put the hardware key on the
server, since servers usually remain on at all times. Whichever you choose, though, remember that the computer
with the hardware key must be turned on and the NetHASP License Manager must be broadcasting for PTW to
run.)

2.

Log on with Full Administrative Rights, then insert the PTW CD-ROM.

3.

Click the Install Power*Tools for Windows (PTW) Software option.

4.

Now click the Network Installation option.

07/22/2008

5.

Click the Install NetHASP License Manager to Server option.

By selecting this option button, you are actually running LMSETUP.EXE, a program which installs the license
manager program, and device driver that allows Windows to see the hardware key. You should see a window
similar to the following.

6.

Click Next to continue with the installation for the NetHASP License Manager & device driver.
You will then be prompted to install the license manager as a service or as an application. Select the option you
want and click the Next button.

07/22/2008

Next, select the install location for the license manager files. The picture below shows the default directory.

You will then be prompted to link the Hasp Lincense Manager to start up folder or not.
and click on the Next Button.

Select the option you wish

The installation program then creates a program group for the License Manager program. Just click on the Next
button.

07/22/2008

The License Manager finishes installation and will show a similar window below. It will then prompt you if you
want to install the Hasp Device Driver as well. If you select Yes, continue with step 2

Part 2:
Getting the
server to see
the hardware
key

When the License Manager finishes installation, the setup program provides an option to install the Hardware key
device drivers needed by the computer to recognize the hardware key. Once you clicked on the Yes button above
you will see a similar picture below.

The screen similar to the one below is displayed upon completion of the installation for the Hasp Device Driver.
Just click on Yes if you wish to run the Hasp License Manager Now.

The installation program finishes and starts up the NetHASP license manager

The NetHASP License Manger appears minimize next to the clock

Part 3:
Getting the
workstations
to see the
hardware
key
If your workstations will run PTW using a shortcut to the dedicated or non-dedicated file server, you only need to
perform the following steps on the computer with the hardware key. If your workstations will have PTW installed
and run locally, you need to repeat these steps on each workstation which has PTW installed.
For networks using TCP/IP protocol

1.

Go to the \PTW32\BIN folder and look for the NETHASP.INI file.

2.

Open the NETHASP.INI file and find the [NH_COMMON] Section. (Since NETHASP.INI is a text file, open
it in a text editor. Notepad, which comes with Windows, works best because it does not insert extra characters
into the file.)

3.

Be sure to ONLY un-remark the line indicated. All other lines should still have semicolons in front of them.
Un-remark (that is, delete the two semicolons in front of) the line
;;NH_TCPIP = Enabled
so that the line reads:
NH_TCPIP = Enabled

4.

Find the [NH_TCPIP] Section.

5.

Un-remark the line

;;NH_SERVER_ADDR=<IP Addr1>
and enter the dedicated server or non-dedicated server IP (internet protocol) address of the computer where the
red hardware key is attached and from where the NetHASP License Manager broadcasts in place of the text
<IP Addr1>
For example, if the IP address is 198.0.0.130, you would retype the line like this:
NH_SERVER_ADDR=198.0.0.130

6.

While in the [NH_TCPIP] Section, un-remark the line

;;NH_USE_BROADCAST = Disabled
so that the line reads:
NH_USE_BROADCAST = Disabled

07/22/2008

7.

Save the NETHASP.INI file.

8.

Test whether PTW will run on the workstation. If it does not, check the NETHASP.INI file to ensure that only
the line indicated has the semicolons removed, and that all the other lines still have semicolons in front of them.
If you receive an Error Code 8, open the NETHASP.INI file and, in the [NH_TCPIP] Section, un-remark the
line
;;NH_TCPIP_METHOD = UDP
so that the line reads:
NH_TCPIP_METHOD = UDP

9.

Save the NETHASP.INI file and try running PTW again.

What if I Want to Use the Network Key Temporarily as a Local Key?

Occasionally you might want to use the network hardware key locallyfor example, if you have a laptop computer
and want to take the key home. You can install PTW on the computer as you normally would, but once PTW is
installed you will need to install the standalone driver for the hardware key.
1.

To do so, after you have installed PTW on the computer, click the Key Utility program in the Power*Tools
group. The following dialog box will appear:

2.

Select Aladdin MemoHASP (White or Green) and click the Go to Key Program button. (Even though the
icon shows a white key or green USB key, you need to choose this option so the standalone driver will be
installed.)

3.

Click the OK button and select to install the driver.

4.

When the drivers are finished, you will need to install and activate the License Manager. Refer to page 5 for
complete instructions.

5.

Configure C:\PTW32\bin\nethasp.ini. If you are connected to a DHCP server, you can use the IP address of
your local machine. Otherwise, configure your Computer Host Name as the server address. Refer to page 10
for complete instructions.

6.

Start PTW32 and when prompted, select "Network Hardware Key".
