Summary
This document details the steps necessary to install the ArcSchematics License Manager. Prior to running the install you will need:
· ArcGIS Desktop (ArcInfo, ArcEditor or ArcView) 8.2 or later, installed.
· The Schematics 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 CD media.
· Your license file (see "Before Beginning")
The Schematics License Manager does not use a hardware key. Schematics License Manager uses the disk serial number of the primary hard drive as a validating hostid.
Follow the process below to obtain your disk serial number:
1. Create a directory on your C:\ drive called SchematicsLM. You can do this from the command prompt by using the command "mkdir":
Code:
C:\> cd \ <ENTER>
C:\> mkdir SchematicsLM <ENTER>
C:\> cd SchematicsLM <ENTER>
C:\SchematicsLM>
2. Copy the contents of the Schematics media's \License directory into the folder C:\SchematicsLM.
3. Use the "cd" command to move to the "SchematicsLM" directory.
Code:
C:\>cd c:\SchematicsLM <ENTER>
C:\SchematicsLM>
4. From the command prompt, type in the following command:
Code:
C:\SchematicsLM>lmutil lmhostid -vsn <ENTER>
This will return your disk serial number.
5. Contact ESRI customer service to obtain a license file based on this disk serial number.
Procedure
Follow the process below to install and start the Schematics License Manager service.
- Copy the license file (.lic file) obtained from customer service to the C:\SchematicsLM\ directory.
- Start up the command prompt if it is not already open, and use the "cd" command to move to the "SchematicsLM" directory.

C:\SchematicsLM>
- Type in the following command:
Code:
C:\SchematicsLM>installs -n "Schematics License Manager" -c C:\SchematicsLM -e C:\SchematicsLM\lmgrd.exe <ENTER>
This will create the license manager service.
- Start the service by typing
Code:
C:\SchematicsLM> net start "Schematics License Manager" <ENTER>
You should get a response:
“The Schematics License Manager service is starting.”
Followed by:
