The TYX License Manager for Windows NT will handle the licensing requirements for the accompanying version of TYX software. This license manager must be installed on a Windows NT 3.51 or NT 4.0 system (server or workstation) that is on a network configured with TCP/IP. The License Manager must be installed and running before TYX software will function.

The accompanying TYX software can be installed anywhere on the TCP/IP network, in one central location or in several distributed locations.

You must be logged in as the Administrator user to install the TYX License Manager or to add a new activation key. Contact your Network Administrator if you are not able to log in to your NT system as the Administrator user.
