Before starting the Windows Network version of Maple 13, you must obtain your license file and start the license manager by completing the following tasks.
Maple 13 requires a Maple 13 license file to operate. License files for earlier versions of Maple do not work with Maple 13. To obtain your license file, you must use the Maple activation program or activate off-line by following the instructions at http://www.maplesoft.com/support/Faqs/Activation. Ensure that you can connect to the Internet as activation requires an Internet connection and follow the steps below. If your computer does not have an Internet connection, please contact Maplesoft customer service.
Note: If you are using Windows Vista, right-click Activate Maple and select Run as administrator.
The \FLEXlm\windows directory, installed in the c:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools directory, contains license manager daemons (lmgrd and maplelmg) required to run Maple, as well as utilities to assist you in installing and configuring FLEXlm for your system.
If you intend to use a NovellŪ server, see Novell Networks.
To set up and start the license manager daemons on a Windows Network Server:
- From the Start menu, select Programs >Maple Network Tools ->LMTools.
- Under the Service/License File tab, click Configuration using Services.
- Click the Config Services tab.
- In the Config Services property sheet, enter or browse to the following files:
Service Name Enter a name for the service (optional) Path to the lmgrd.exe file C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\FLEXlm\windows\lmgrd.exe Path to the license file
C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\activate\Maple13.lic Path to the debug log file Enter the path to the directory containing the debug log file. You must create this file manually (log.txt is the manually created file in the example below), as it is not automatically generated.
C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\FLEXlm\windows\log.txt
To set up the daemons as a service (recommended), select the Use Services check box. This is available for Windows 2000, 2003, XP, and Vista. To start the daemons at boot time (recommended), select the Start Server at Power Up check box.- Click Save Service. When prompted to save the service, click Yes.
- Click the Start/Stop/Reread tab. In that property sheet, click Start Server to start the license manager daemons.
You can now use Maple 13.

If you have other FLEXlm license files stored in one central location, you can store the Maple license files there as well. Note: These steps do not apply to releases prior to Maple 6.
Complete the following tasks:
Using Windows Explorer, move all of the license files to a common directory, for example, C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\activate.
Service Name Enter a name for the service (optional) Path to the lmgrd.exe file C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\FLEXlm\windows\lmgrd.exe Path to the license file
Enter the path to the directory containing all of the Maple license files. Point to the directory only, not an actual license file.
