Network instalation

[Anonymous]

I bought a licensed ArchiCAD network version, but I can't find the Guide for network instalation on the CD. Where it is ? Can you help me ?
Please send me this Guide on e-mail rad@ymz.yaroslavl.ru

You need to be a little bit more specific about what you mean. Is it the WIBU key sever that you need information on? Or is it an actual network installation of ArchiCAD? What I mean by network installation is installing ArchiCAD on more than 1 client from a server.

Hellow, Ben !
Yes, I talk about real network installation. We bought 2 network licenses. I am a novice at ArchiCAD. Earlier, I install network AutoCAD version. In this case I installed a license manager with deployment folder on server and then installed AutoCAD on local computer from deployment folder. Now, I have no instruction for ArchiCAD network installation (it is absent on license CD).

Thank you help.
Best regards

I read this article carefully. It is not about network installation. It is automated installation on many local computers. This method's advantage This automation concluded with parameter's saving during installation and repeated using of configuration file.
I ask about network installation with floating lisences when user can take any free license from license manager (as in AutoCAD network installation at least).

OK.
So it the WIBU key server you are after. check out WIBU's web site to
see if they have any instructions. http://www.wibu.com

With ArchiCAD there is no license manager like ADLM; you have the network protection key that has a certain number of licenses; any computer on the same network with ArchiCAD installed can take any of the licenses that is free at the moment. So there is nothing special to install, the system more or less takes care of itself.

I am wondering - did you ask your reseller or point of purcahse for help? They should have explained you this.

Thanks. Situation now more clearly. Please, explain only how I should to point a server with server key when I shell install ArchiCAD on local station.

If you are in the same workgroup you don't need to do any thing more than have the keyserver running,ArchiCAD will find the free licences automatically.

If you are not in the same network you can specify an IP address, don't forget to open up a port if you have a fire wall.
