Installing the network licensing tools

This section is for the network license administrator who installs the network licensing tools, obtains the product feature keys from IHS Markit, and communicates with end users on how to obtain their product licenses.

To download and install the network licensing tools:

1.	Log on to the EMS using your EID at https://softwarelicensing.ihsmarkit.com/ems/customerLogin.html.Your EID is in the Entitlement Certificate email from IHS Markit.

2.	Click Downloads in the upper-right corner.

The Download page contains all of your entitlements, including the required network licensing tools. Note that each product has a drop down with the same related documents and installers. You only need to download the license managers once.

3.	Click the Download link beside Network Licensing Tools to download a zipped folder with the installation packages for both license managers.

•	License Service

•	License Manager

4.	Open the zipped folder.

5.	Save the License Service Installer folder to the computer designated as the license server.

6.	On the license server, open the License Service folder and double-click the setup.exe to begin the installation. Follow the installation wizard. No custom settings are required.

We recommend creating a system environment variable on the license server to record extended usage logs. You need to restart the service after creating the variable.

•	Variable name: LSERVOPTS

•	Variable value: -extended-log

7.	Copy the License Manager folder to the same computer and/or other computers with connectivity to the license server.

8.	Open the License Manager folder and double-click on IHSMarkitLicenseManager.exe. Follow the installation wizard. No custom settings are required.
