ETAP 6.0.0 Installation

1.2 ETAP 6.0.0 Installation

This section describes the installation procedure for Windows XP/Vista and Windows Server 2003, of ETAP 6.0.0 using a Microsoft Access, SQL Server, or Oracle database. ETAP provides all the necessary tools to build and maintain the Microsoft Access databases used for your ETAP projects. Other database formats such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle require a separate license from the appropriate software developer/distributor.

1.2.1 Uninstalling Previous Versions of ETAP

The ETAP 6.0.0 installation can coexist with earlier releases of ETAP and it is not necessary to remove older versions of ETAP to run the latest version. If you would like to uninstall earlier versions of ETAP go to the Control Panel and select Add or Remove Programs. Then select and uninstall any earlier ETAP installations. Any user-created files, as well as the ETAPS.INI file and the ETAPLIBX.LIB file (where X is 2, 3, 4, or 5 depending on the version) will not be removed by the uninstall procedure. ETAP Setup uses the uninstaller of the previous versions to uninstall them.

ETAP 6.0.0 Installation

1.2.2 Installing ETAP

The installation program installs ETAP and all of its components including libraries, example and help files. It also installs the ETAP License Manager since all stand-alone and network keys use this service to provide authorization for ETAP 6.0.0. In this installation procedure, your CD-ROM drive is designated as the D: drive. If this is not the case, replace the letter D with the correct designation of your CD-ROM drive. The same installation procedure is used to install ETAP regardless of the licensing method (stand-alone system or network). 1. To install ETAP, you must have administrative access to your computer. For Windows Vista Operating Systems, in addition to the administrative access we recommend to turn the User Account Control (UAC) off during this installation. You can do so by going to the Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Turn User Account Control ON or OFF and uncheck the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer option. The Firewall must be turned off as well. 2. Close all applications and insert the ETAP CD into your CD-ROM drive. 3. For Windows Vista Operation Systems, the installer will start up and present the following screen. Select the Run ETAPINSTALLER.exe option.

4. The ETAP Installer Program will then appear. In the Installations section, select the ETAP 6.0 & License Manager option to install ETAP and/or select the License Manager option to install the License Manager only. For the Stand-Alone licenses ETAP 6.0 & License Manager and ETAP key reside on the same PC. For the Network licenses ETAP 6.0 & License Manager shall be installed on the client machines and the ETAP License Manager shall be installed on a PC designated as the License Manager Server. In this configuration the ETAP key will be located at the License Manager Server.

1.2.3 Installing the ETAP Library File

If the installation folder chosen during the ETAP installation contains an ETAP library with the name ETAPLIB600.LIB, the installation program will preserve the existing ETAP library.

The installation program renames the existing ETAP library to OLDETAP600.LIB before installing the new library ETAPLIB600.LIB. If an OLDETAP600.LIB already exists on the target computer, the installation program directs you to make a backup copy of the old file or move the old file into a different subfolder. Otherwise, the installation program will overwrite the current OLDETAP600.LIB with a copy of the existing ETAPLIB600.LIB.

1.2.4 Registering Data Source Name

The installation program automatically sets up and registers the ODBC Data Source Names (DSNs) otiaccess and otireport. Three additional DSNs, otisql and otioracle, otioracle2 (required for reporting), can be added by the user to support SQL and Oracle databases respectively.

ETAP License Wizard

ETAP Key is Found Successfully If the installation is done properly, then the ETAP License Wizard displays a message that the ETAP key is found successfully! Click OK.

ETAP Key is Not Found If the ETAP license key is not found at the port that was previously specified, then the ETAP License Wizard displays a message that the ETAP key is not found or the License Manager is not ready.

ETAP License Manager Service (Etaps Lic Mgr) In that case, verify that the License Manager is installed on the specified location and that the service is started. You can do so by going to the Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services. Find the Etaps Lic Mgr entry from the listing of services. This entry should exist and the Status should show as Started.

Installation Guide

ETAP License Wizard

If this service does not exist you must install the License Manager from the ETAP 6.0.0 CD. If the Etaps Lic Mgr is not started then right-click on the entry and Start it. You can also double-click on this service and Start it. Firewall If the service starts but the client machine fails to receive authorization, check the server machine to ensure that the Windows firewall is not blocking incoming traffic. To do this, go to the server machine and select Run/Control Pane/Windows Firewall. On the General page, note whether the Firewall is On or Off. If it is on, go to the Exceptions page and see if the License Manager is listed and checked. If not, select the Add Port... button. Enter the Etaps Lic Mgr for the Name and enter 6260 as the Port Number. Ensure that TCP is selected. Also check the check box that requests a notification if a program is blocked and click OK. Click OK on the previous pages until you return to the Control Panel. You may have to coordinate with your IT department to open this port. Next, go to the client machine and select Run/Control Pane/Windows Firewall. If it is on, go to the exceptions page and check the checkbox that requests a notification if a program is blocked and click OK on all pages until you return to the Control Panel. This should cause Windows to notify you if it blocks a request from ETAP to access the License Manager. ETAP License Manager Uses TCP/IP To determine if you have TCP/IP installed, go to Control Panel/Network Connections. 1. It should list all network connections for your computer. Locate the appropriate connection under LAN or High-Speed internet. 2. Right-click on the connection and select properties. 3. If you have TCP/IP installed, there will be an item listed and checked "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". 4. If you do not have TCP/IP installed, the item may be listed but NOT checked. In such case, there is no need to continue with this procedure, since you do not have TCP/IP installed. 5. If it is checked, select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click on properties. The resulting Properties will have a general tab. I need to know the settings on this page. Generally, most companies use Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically.

Now that we know you have TCP/IP installed, please do the same thing (exact same procedure) on the computer running the License Manager. If both your computer and the License Manager computer have TCP/IP installed, do the following on the computer running the License Manager: 1. Open a Command Prompt (Start/All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt). 2. Type the following in the Command Prompt (without the quotes of course) "netstat -a". (This will tell us what ports are set up on the Etaps lic mgr server). 3. You should see an entry that lists "TCP the_server_computer_name:6260 ... LISTENING" which shows that the computer is listening for a TCP connection on port 6260. Port 6260 is the License Manager default port. 4. Next enter the following in the Command Prompt - "ipconfig". You should see a listing which contains the IP address of the computer. Note the address to ensure that it matches the address that you have entered at the ETAP client computer. Next, go to your client computer, open a Command Prompt, and enter "ping ip_address" where ip_address is a placeholder for the IP Address that you obtained above from you License Manager computer. The ping results should indicate the time that it took to ping the computer. If the ping is not successful, it will print a timeout message. You should also use ping to check address translation from your computer by entering "ping lic_manager_computer" where lic_manager_computer is a placeholder for the computer name on which you have installed the License Manager. If both pings pass, you can enter either the name of the License Manager computer *or* its IP Address in the ETAP5.5 client. Both should succeed. Otherwise, make sure that you have entered the IP address of the License Manager computer in the ETAP client License Wizard. ETAP Activation Code If this is the first time you are launching ETAP 6.0.0 ETAP prompts you for an Activation Code. Enter the 36 character Activation Code (case sensitive). The following entries are generated in the ETAPS.INI file and the Activation Code is saved as shown below. [Etap PowerStation] LicIndex=0 [AppVariables] LicPath0=Your Server Name or IP Address LicKeyCode0=Your ETAP Activation Code

1.4.2 Stand-Alone System Version of ETAP Licensing

A stand-alone system hardware key is placed directly on the USB or parallel port of the computer that will be running the software. Starting from ETAP 6.0.0, the ETAP License Manager will be automatically installed for the stand-alone systems. The ETAP License Manager program and the stand-alone key provide authorization for ETAP operation.

1.4.3 Network Version of ETAP Licensing

A network security hardware key requires a Windows XP, Professional/Vista Business or above, or Server 2003 workstation or server. Place the network hardware key on the back of the computer/server designated to license ETAP. This will be the permanent location of the key do not remove it once it is operational. Installation on Windows must be performed by a user account with Windows Administrative privileges. The network installation can be done with the License Manager 6.0.0 Setup program provided on the ETAP 6.0 CD-ROM, started from the ETAP Installer program, or installed manually. Regardless of how the network installation is done, the steps to be performed are the same.

License Manager Server

1.5 License Manager Server

For the purpose of running ETAP, the computer containing the network hardware key is called the License Manager Server. The License Manager Server needs to be on and running to issue authorization for client computers to run ETAP. Each computer running ETAP (Windows XP/Vista, Server 2003) requests authorization from the License Manager Server via a LAN or WAN. If the License Manager Server does not issue the requested authorization, ETAP will not run. The License Manager Server computer does not need to have the ETAP program software installed.

1.5.1 ETAP License Manager 6.0.0

The ETAP License Manager is a Windows XP/Vista, Server 2003 workstation/server program that assists the network security hardware key in licensing the use of ETAP. The network hardware key provides licensing of up to 254 simultaneous users of ETAP via a local area network (LAN) and/or a wide area network (WAN). The ETAP License Manager manages the administration of simultaneous ETAP users as set forth in the terms of your ETAP license agreement. The ETAP License Manager cannot be operated on a virtual machine since that could violate ETAP License agreements. The ETAP program can be installed on virtual machines as long as the network License Manager is installed on a non-virtual machine. Note: Proper operation of ETAP requires the installation of the ETAP License Manager on the License Manager Server and, during each user system ETAP installation, entering the License Manager Server name or IP address. To connect to a specific network license you must open your project and from the ETAP Logon Editor click on ETAP License Wizard. The ETAP Logon Editor is the first editor that appears when you open a project.

The network hardware key and the ETAP License Manager use minimal processor time and do not require more than 10MB of free disk space for proper operation. Make sure the system meets the ETAP minimum hardware requirements.
