Chapter 1. Introduction
The NavisWorks License Manager User Manual is divided into 3 chapters: Essential, Useful and
Interesting Reading.
Essential reading explains the installation and licensing of fixed, networked and floating NavisWorks

else in these user manuals, read this section! Systems administrators and power users are recommended
to read all sections.

Chapter 2. Essential Reading
This section describes the most essential aspects of the NavisWorks License Manager. Standard users
are recommended to read this chapter, if nothing else. System Administrators are recommended to read
all chapters of the License Manager book, to fully understand the licensing system and its available
features.
2.1. Installing JetStream
Insert the JetStream CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive. The JetStream Installation Menu should
start automatically. If the Menu does not launch automatically, double click on Menubox.exe at the root
of the JetStream CD. Follow the instructions on the menu to install and license JetStream.
The installer will load all supported languages and then automatically run in the language that best
matches the settings on your computer. To run JetStream in another of the supported languages, you
simply need to add one of the following arguments to the desktop shortcut. To do this, right click on the
JetStream desktop shortcut and choose Properties from the context menu. In the Target field, after
..\roamer.exe" enter a space, then one of the following:
Language selector
-lang enu Enter this for English localization
-lang deu Enter this for German localization
-lang jpn Enter this for Japanese localization
-lang rus Enter this for Russian localization
-lang chs Enter this for Chinese (PRC) localization
2.2. First Steps
The JetStream License Manager is a separate application used to manage everything concerning your
JetStream licenses. It is installed along with JetStream, or you can install it on its own for setting up
License Servers (for more details on this, see Section 2.7, “ Served licenses ”). You can access the
License Manager from Start, Programs, JetStream JetStream, License Manager, but for your
convenience, on first installing JetStream, it will open automatically and start the license wizard, which
looks like this:

You must first select the type of computer you are running the license wizard on. Here you have three
options:
• "Desktop". Select this if you have a normal desktop computer or workstation.
• "Laptop". Select this option if you use a portable computer such as a laptop or notepad machine.
• "Server". Select this option if you are installing on a server machine, or if your computer does not fall
into any of the above catagories.
If you check the "Laptop" option, you will be taken to another screen asking you about the ethernet card in
your laptop computer.

Note
In order for your JetStream product to work correctly when you are both in and out of the office, it
is important that you select the correct option on this screen.
• "In my docking station". Select this option if you connect your network cable into a docking station.
• "In my laptop computer". Select this option if you plug your network cable directly into your laptop
computer.
• "I don't connect to a network". Select this option if you do not connect your computer to a network.
• "I don't know". Select this option if you are not sure where your ethernet card is located.
If you use multiple cards (e.g. a standard LAN card at work and a wireless card at home) select the "I

don't connect to a network" option, as you will need to disable Ethernet ID locking to ensure JetStream
JetStream works when using either card.
The license wizard uses this information to set up the options related to Ethernet card ID locking (see
Section 4.3.3, “ Options ”).
After the pages to determine your computer type, you will be asked what sort of license you want to install
on your machine.
To install a fixed license on a stand-alone machine, or floating licenses on a server, choose the first
option, "Install licenses on this machine" and follow the instructions in Section 2.3, “ Requesting and
installing a JetStream license ” or Section 2.7.2, “ Setting up the server ” respectively.
Otherwise, if you are setting up a client to take its licenses from a server, then choose the second option,
"Use floating licenses from a remote server" and follow the instructions in Section 2.7.3, “ Setting up a
client ”.
Requesting, Recovering and Returning licenses work the same way, whether you're installing them on a

stand-alone PC or for licenses to be served from a server.
Note
As with most software, you need to have administrator privileges on the PC that you are installing
JetStream.
2.3. Requesting and installing a JetStream license
• To install a new license, or to add more modules to your existing licenses, select Request License
from the License Wizard menu. The Request License Wizard will be displayed:
• One by one, enter the serial numbers of your JetStream modules and click Add after each. This will
add the products to the list box. Once all of your products are entered, click Next.
