Server installation: Before installing TitanLM, you must decide
which computer you wish to use as the server. It will need to be a computer that
is running most of the time and accessible to the workstations on your network.
It is usual to have just one TitanLM
server, however if your company has offices in different locations, you may wish
to have TitanLM servers in more than one location. For example, you might
have 25 copies of SPACE GASS, with 10 copies in one office and 15 in another.
You could have a TitanLM server managing the 10 licenses in one office
and another TitanLM server managing the 15 licenses in the other office.
If the two office networks were connected, you could even share licenses between
them. For example, office A could access SPACE GASS licenses from office B and
vice-versa.
The TitanLM server installation procedure
is as follows:
-
Click here to download the latest TitanLM
installation file and then run the downloaded file to install the TitanLM
server program.
-
At the end of the
installation, run the TitanLM
administrator tool from its shortcut on the desktop, and login with “Login
name” = admin and “Password” = admin.
-
From the "TitanLM
Registration" form (click the Help button and choose Register if it doesn't
appear automatically), click the "Get Signature" button to retrieve and
display your computer's hardware signature, click the
“Copy to Clipboard” button and then paste the signature code into a new
email that you will use to request your TitanLM registration files.
Note that if you are replacing an existing hardware lock with Titan,
include the number of the lock in your email too.
-
In the email you
should also nominate a port on your server that you want TitanLM to
use. If you omit this then the TitanLM default port of TCP 34123 will be
assumed.
-
Send the email to
admin@spacegass.com.
-
Once processed, you
will receive two registration files by return email that you should save
into a temporary folder (the location is unimportant) and then from the
administrator tool's Registration form, click the Register button and locate
the saved registration files to complete the registration. Note that these files lock TitanLM
to your server computer and prevent it from being used on any other
computer. If you change or replace your server computer, you will need to
repeat the previous steps to request a new registration.
-
Open the port that
you specified in step 4 above by selecting the administrator tool’s Network
tab, typing the port number in the “Port” field of the “Add Windows Firewall
Exception” area and then clicking the “Add Exception” button (leave the
other fields at their default values). Note that this doesn’t need to be
done again, even if you upgrade to a newer version of TitanLM in the
future.
-
Click the “Start
TitanLM” button in the bottom-right corner to start the TitanLM
server.
-
When a green tick
appears above the “Start TitanLM” button, close the administrator tool.
This completes the server installation procedure.
TitanLM should now be running and ready to accept requests from SPACE
GASS. You should now complete the client installation
below for each computer that you wish to run SPACE GASS on.
Client installation:The client installation must be done on each
computer running SPACE GASS. It can also be done on the computer that has the TitanLM server installed if you also wish to run SPACE GASS on that
computer.
The TitanLM client installation procedure
is as follows:
-
If SPACE GASS 10 is
already installed, click here
to download the SPACE GASS patch file and then run the downloaded file to
upgrade SPACE GASS to the latest version.
Or
If SPACE GASS is not installed, click here to download the SPACE GASS installation file and then run the
downloaded file to install the latest version of SPACE GASS.
-
If you upgraded SPACE
GASS and you are changing over from a hardware lock system to Titan, you
should delete the sgreg.dat file in your SPACE GASS program folder (usually
"c:\Program files\SPACE GASS\Exe"). Skip this step if you installed
SPACE GASS from scratch in the previous step.
-
Run the TitanLM
client tool (TitanClientTool.exe) from your SPACE GASS program folder
(usually “c:\Program files\SPACE GASS\Exe”).
-
Set up a connection
to the TitanLM server by selecting the Connection tab at the top and
then filling in the details in the blank “Add a server” field near the top
of the “Server Connection” table and then press the keyboard Enter key.
“Name” is any descriptive name that you can
choose to describe the server that you are connecting to. If you have more
than one connection, the server name is simply a convenient name that you
can use to differentiate between them.
“Protocol” is the network communication
protocol and must be TCP/IP.
“Host/IP” is the network name or IP address of
the server. Note that you can use “localhost” if the TitanLM server
and client are on the same computer.
“Port” is the port number that was used during
the TitanLM server installation and is usually 34123 (it is displayed
in the TitanLM administrator tool Reports tab).
“Timeout” is the time after which a query or
request from SPACE GASS is rejected if the server is busy or has stopped
running, or if there is a network problem.
-
Test the connection
by clicking the “Test Connection” button. If successful, a green tick will
appear next to the button.
-
Note that if you have
multiple TitanLM servers (in different offices for example), you
could also add connections to them by repeating steps 3 and 4 above.
-
When finished, close
the client tool.
Note that if you wish to quickly replicate
steps 3 and 4 on other client computers, just copy the TitanClientConfig.dat
file from this computer to them.
This completes the client installation procedure.
You should now be able to run SPACE GASS.
|
Stand-alone installation: The client installation must be done on each
computer running SPACE GASS. It can also be done on the computer that has the
TitanLM server installed if you also wish to run SPACE GASS on that
computer.
The TitanLM stand-alone installation
procedure is as follows:
-
Click here to download the latest TitanLM
installation file and then run the downloaded file to install the TitanLM
program.
-
At the end of the
installation, run the TitanLM
administrator tool from its shortcut on the desktop, and login with “Login
name” = admin and “Password” = admin.
-
From the "TitanLM
Registration" form (click the Help button and choose Register if it doesn't
appear automatically), click the "Get Signature" button to retrieve and
display your computer's hardware signature, click the
“Copy to Clipboard” button and then paste the signature code into a new
email that you will use to request your TitanLM registration files.
Note that if you are replacing an existing hardware lock with Titan,
include the number of the lock in your email too.

-
Set up a connection
to TitanLM by selecting the Connection tab at the top and then
filling in the details in the blank “Add a server” field near the top of the
“Server Connection” table (use Name="Local", Protocol="TCP/IP", Host/IP="localhost",
Port="34123" and Timeout="10") and then press the keyboard Enter key.
Note that if a connection is already present in the table then you can skip this
step.
-
Test the connection
by clicking the “Test Connection” button. If successful, a green tick will
appear next to the button.
-
When finished, close
the client tool.
This completes the stand-alone installation
procedure. You should now be able to run SPACE GASS.
