This page addresses how to setup the Network License Manager for use with Benderlink for SolidWorks.

Step 1 Plug the hardware key into the NLM SERVER computer.
Step 2 Install the software from the CD
Step 3

Under the "Hardware Key Data" tab, verify that The "Key Type" is "memo" and that the "Key Serial Number" matches the "Licensed Key Serial Number".

Next, check the "Licensed Applications" tab. "Application Name" should say "Benderlink for Solidworks" and "Max Seats" is set to the number of licenses that you purchased.

Step 4 Install Benderlink for SolidWorks on any workstation that will run the software.
Step 5

Once installed you'll need to edit the configuration file that is located at:

C:\Program Files\blinksw\config\blinksw.config

Using Notepad is the easiest way to edit this file. To do this, right-click on "blinksw.config" and choose "Open With", then choose "Notepad" from the Menu.

Once you are editing the file, look for the line that says:

"NLM IP Address=127.0.0.1"

Change this address to the IP address of the server that the NLM software is installed on.

Once you have done that, you can save the file and exit Notepad.

Step 6 Run Benderlink for Solidworks. The NLM Server software should report that a user is logged into Benderlink for Solidworks and that there are the correct seats of the software available.
