Version 2012 (12.0)
This checklist of common activities and requirements presents a concise summary of the installation and setup process for SmartPlant License Manager. It is not a replacement for the product documentation and is provided as a convenience.
Your installation and setup requirements may vary from what is presented here. You may customize a copy of this checklist to capture a summary of your installation and setup process.
Unless otherwise specified, the topics listed in the Additional Resources column can be found in the SmartPlant License Manager Installation and User's Guide.
For a list of supported operating systems, see the PP&M Compatibility Matrix at Intergraph Smart Support Online (https://smartsupport.intergraph.com).
Intergraph recommends that the SmartPlant License Manager license machine software be installed on a stable, single node, hardware configuration (such as a simple PC), with a static IP address, because license key installation and license seat usage authentication depend on the
information gathered from the physical hardware.
Important: Any changes that cause the hardware information to differ from the information used to generate the license key will result in a failure of the authentication process.
Multiple SmartPlant License Manager license machines can be used in the user's network as long as each system is a unique hardware system/installation. If SmartPlant License Manager license machines are cloned after the license key has been installed, license management will fail
on the cloned system. Each SmartPlant License Manager license machine requires its own unique license key.
For information about using SmartPlant License Manager in virtual environments, see Appendix F: SmartPlant License Manager and Virtual Configurations in the SmartPlant License Manager Installation and User's Guide .
