1.0 Overview

The TYX Nodelock 32-Bit License Manager for a Single User workstation will handle the licensing requirements for the accompanying version of TYX software. The license manager must be installed on a Windows NT or Windows 95 system. It uses a non-floating license and can be obtained only by the machine on which it is installed.

2.0 Installation

To install the License Manager, complete the following steps:

  1. Run setup.exe located on the License Manager disk. After initialization of the setup is done, a Welcome Screen will appear. Click on the Next button to continue installing the license manager software.
  2. After all files have been copied, an Information Screen will indicate that the installation is complete. In this window you can choose to view the README file before selecting Finish to end the installation.
    • If you checked I want to view the README file now, Notepad will open the file tyx32nod.txt located in the Windows System directory (usually winnt\system32).
    • If you did not check I want to view the README file now, you can open it at any time by selecting the ReadMe icon from the TYX Nodelock 32-Bit License Manager program group.
  1. A warning window will be displayed, indicating that you must run the License Manager Administration program and enter all necessary key(s). Click OK.
  2. In rare cases, setup will indicate that a reboot is necessary to complete the installation. Upon rebooting, the installation will be complete.

3.0 Administration

Entering Activation Keys

You must contact TYX customer support at (800) 321-7297 to obtain an activation key. The following steps will walk you through the process of obtaining the key.

  1. From the TYX Nodelock 32-Bit License Manager program group, select the License Manager Administration icon. A License Manager administration window will be created.
  2. On how many hosts will you run the license server? Select 1 and press enter.
  3. A Code for the host system will be displayed. Call TYX customer support at (800) 321-7297 with the Code and the TYX Serial Number for your distribution and you will be issued an activation key. The TYX Serial Number can be found on the distribution media or accompanying shipping document.
  4. Enter the activation key and press Enter. To exit the window, choose File \ Exit from the menu bar.
  5. TYX Customer Support will fax or e-mail your activation key to you for your records.

4.0 Uninstallation

In the event that you need to uninstall the TYX Nodelock 32-Bit License Manager:

  1. Enter the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs.
  2. Select TYX License Manager for Windows NT and click on Add/Remove.
  3. Remove the directory "tyx-node" and its contents. This directory will be in the Windows directory (usually called "winnt").

5.0 Considerations

  1. For certain TYX products, the licensing requirements may be such that it is not feasible to provide the key via telephone (the code(s) may be extremely long). In these cases, we would prefer to e-mail the key. They can be copied and pasted into the License Manager Administration program.
