Setup VTube-LASER for the Network License Manager

Back to VTube-LASER Use these steps to setup VTube-LASER for use with the Network License Manager software.

STEP 1

Start the NLM software on the server computer. (See Network License Manager for more information.)

STEP 2

Install the VTube-STEP software. Find the "vtube local settings.cfg" file on your computer:

In Windows 7 the file will be located in the "c:\ProgramData\VTube" folder.

By default AppData is a hidden folder. You can use Control Panel / Folders command to change this to show all folders. The <UserName> is the login name being used to login to Windows.

In Windows XP, this file will be stored in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VTube"

(Note: Versions earlier than 1.64c use a different set of folders based on the user name.)
