Installing NetHASP on a
Network
This chapter explains the steps required to install NetHASP and adapt the stations in the network to the NetHASP system. You can first consult the quick reference guide to installing NetHASP. Then,
proceed to the full description of:
· The networks and protocols that NetHASP supports.
· The NetHASP License Manager - its functions and how to activate it on various stations.
· The automatic and custom search methods used by the NetHASP client to search for the NetHASP License Manager.
NetHASP Installation - Quick Reference
The fastest way to install NetHASP on your system is to:
1. Connect the key.
2. Install the Hasp Device Driver (when necessary).
3. Load the NetHASP License Manager.
4. Activate the protected application.
However, if you want to customize the NetHASP system, you can refer to the following three tables which guide you through the NetHASP custom installation process. Each of the three following tables refers to a specific network protocol. For each application type, the relevant nethasp.ini keyword settings are specified. The comments describe the way in which the NetHASP client searches for the NetHASP License Manager.

What to Supply your End User
Along with the protected application, you should supply your customer with the following:
· A NetHASP key

Applications that facilitate communication between the protected application and the NetHASP. For Win32 you can use lmsetup.exe, which contains both the License Manager and the HASP Device
Driver.
· The HASP Device DriverAn interface between the NetHASP License Manager and the NetHASP key.
· Test utilities to check the NetHASP systemFor Win16 and Win32 applications, use haspdemo.exe.
· The NetHASP MonitorA utility that lets you monitor the NetHASP License Managers on the network and applications that are using NetHASP licenses.
· Nethasp.iniThe NetHASP configuration file, in which you can change the NetHASP client default settings.
