    PVTsim Nova Installation Guide

    Installation Requirements
    Recommended minimum hardware: 1 Gb RAM. 5 Gb free disk space. 1920 x 1080 pixels screen resolu-
    tion (at max 125% scaling).

    Windows versions supported on client PC and/or license server: 64 bit Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Win-
    dows 11, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019.

    Always uninstall the previous installation of a minor version of the same major version of PVTsim Nova
    before installing a new version (for example uninstall Nova x.0 before installing Nova x.1).

    Administrator rights are required to perform a successful installation. Double click setup.exe and follow
    the instructions on the screen.

    License systems supported


    PVTsim Nova can be used with the following license systems

    • FLEXlm network license


    • FLEXlm single user (node-locked)
    • Sentinel hardware dongle (Single User)

    The license system can be selected the first time PVTsim Nova starts up. The license system can be
    changed later on using the Calsep Nova License Manager installed with PVTsim Nova.

    FLEXlm
    MAC address
    The MAC-address of the FLEXlm license server is needed for a FLEXlm network license to have a
    FLEXlm license file issued for PVTsim Nova. The license server can be any PC on the network running
    a supported Windows version including the client PC. For a node-locked version the MAC address
    needed is of the client PC.

    Contact your local Calsep office to get a license file issued. Supply the MAC address with the request.

    Setting up an External license server


    Copy the files in the FlexLM directory of the download package to a location on the license server with
    read/write access. A safe location is in C:\ProgramData\. In the following it is assumed that this location
    is used.

    If PVTsim Nova is installed on the license server, the FLEXlm files may instead be copied from the below
    directory:

    C:\<Program Files >\Calsep\License Manager\Flexlm

    1. Copy the license file to C:\ProgramData\FlexLM\64Bit. Write %ProgramData% in the Windows


    Explorer to bring up the ProgramData directory.
    2. Start C:\ProgramData\FlexLM\64Bit\Lmtools.
    3. Go to Config Services tab
    4. Specify C:\ProgramData\FlexLM\64Bit as the path to lmgrd.exe.
    5. Specify C:\ProgramData\FlexLM\64Bit as the path to the license file.
    6. Specify C:\ProgramData\FlexLM\64Bit\debug.log as the path to the debug log file.
    7. Make sure Everyone (which includes local services) has read/write access to the folder where the
    log file is located (see Exhibit A for details).
    8. Check "Use Services" and check "Start Server at Power Up".
    9. Click on "Save Service", after which the Config Services menu should look as follows

    1
    10. Go to the Start/Stop/Reread Tab
    11. Click the “Start Server” button

    Lmgrd.exe and pvtlmd.exe must be allowed to have in- and outbound communication through the Win-
    dows Firewall on the External license server (see Exhibit B for details).

    Connecting PVTsim Nova to an External license server


    On the client start up the Calsep Nova License Manager and choose FLEXlm as license type. Click on
    Advanced. Enter @name of license server and click OK. Usually, it is not required to enter a port number,
    but a port number can optionally be entered in front of @name of license server. This port number must
    equal the port number in the license file. Below is shown an example of pointing to a license server
    named myserver using port 27000.

    Setting up a License server on client PC


    Follow the procedure above for “Setting up an External license server”. Make sure the SERVER name in
    the SERVER line of the license file corresponds to the network name of the client PC.

    Then follow the procedure above for “Connecting PVTsim Nova to an External license server” to connect
    to your local server.

    Using a Node locked license file (single user)


    Copy the license file to C:\ProgramData\Calsep\. Write %ProgramData% in the Windows Explorer to
    bring up the ProgramData directory. Start up the Calsep Nova License Manager and choose FLEXlm as
    license type. Click on Advanced. Browse for the license file in the above location and click OK.

    FLEXlm Users’ Guide
    An extensive FLEXlm users’ guide (flexnet_licensing_end_user-guide.pdf) can be found in the directory
    flexuser of the download package.

    Sentinel hardware dongle (Single User)


    A Sentinel driver (version 7.5.8 or higher) must be installed. To install the driver run Sentinel System
    Driver Installer 7.5.8.exe in the Sentinel folder. Place the hardware dongle in the USB port after instal-
    lation of the Sentinel System Driver. If an older version of the Sentinel driver is already present, upgrade
    it to the latest version.

    Exhibit A

    The directory for the debug.log file must have read/write permissions for Local Services. An easy way
    to do this is to give Read/Write permissions for Everyone in this directory. It is illustrated below how to
    do this on Windows 10.

    1. Open a Windows Explorer, browse to C:\ProgramData\FlexLM\64Bit, right click on this di-


    rectory and choose Properties.

    2. Click on the Security tab on this menu.


    3. Click Advanced.
    4. Under the Permissions tab, click Add.
    5. Press ”Select a Principal” and enter Everyone. Click ”Check Names” and see that ”Everyone”
    is now underlined, meaning recognized by Windows.
    6. Check Full Control and click OK.
    7. Make sure ”Everyone” is now included in the Permissions entries with Full Control. Click
    Apply and click OK to exit.

    4
    Exhibit B

    Lmgrd.exe and pvtlmd.exe must be able to conduct inbound and outbound communication through the
    Windows Firewall on the External license server. It is illustrated below how to do this on Windows 10.

    1. From the Control Panel, open the Windows Firewall and choose Advanced Settings.
    2. On Inbound Rules, right click and choose New Rule.

    3. Choose Program and click Next.

    4. Browse to select pvtlmd.exe and click Next.


    5. Choose Allow the Connection and click Next.
    6. Check Domain, Private and Public to allow the rule to always apply. Click Next.
    7. Name the new rule, for example “pvtlmd”. Click Finish.
    8. Repeat steps 1-7 for the Outbound Rule for pvtlmd.
    9. Repeat the above for Inbound and Outbound Rules for lmgrd.exe.
