INSTALLING NETHASP ON A NETWORK HASP CD Rel 4 Rev 2.0 June 1997 =============================== This document describes the steps required to install NetHASP and adapt the stations in the network to the NetHASP system. Along with the protected application, your software vendor should supply you with: * A NetHASP key * All the NetHASP License Managers - applications that communicate with the protected application and the NetHASP * The HASP Device Driver - an interface between the NetHASP License Manager and the NetHASP key. * The NetHASP test utilities - diagnostic tools for the NetHASP system * The NetHASP Monitor - a utility that lets you monitor the NetHASP License Managers on the network and applications that are using NetHASP licenses * Nethasp.ini - the NetHASP Configuration File - lets you change the NetHASP default settings * Nethasp.txt - this file Networks and Protocols Supported by NetHASP ------------------------------------------- NetHASP supports the following networks: 3Com, Banyan Vines, D-Link, DEC Pathworks, Netware Lite, Novell 3.x, Novell 4.x, Windows NT network, LANtastic, LanManager, OS/2 Lan Server, and any other network that uses the protocols listed below. NetHASP supports the IPX, TCP/IP, and NetBIOS network communication protocols. IPX Support ~~~~~~~~~~~ NetHASP under IPX supports the following mechanisms: * Novell SAP (Bindery) - Novell mechanism that enables registration of applications that need network advertising. * Broadcast - while stations broadcast to the network, the NetHASP License Manager constantly listens in. * NetHASP Address File - advertising the NetHASP License Manager through a file mechanism (address file). TCP/IP Support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In environments that support TCP/IP, NetHASP operates in two modes: * TCP, UDP - the address of NetHASP License Manager is specified. * UDP Broadcast - while stations broadcast to the network, the NetHASP License Manager constantly listens in. NetBIOS Support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NetHASP supports various types of NetBIOS including Microsoft NetBEUI. ######################## The NetHASP License Manager ######################## You can connect the NetHASP to any computer on the network. This computer does not necessarily have to be the network file server. NetHASP-protected applications will communicate with the NetHASP, providing you activate the correct NetHASP License Manager. The NetHASP License Manager is not dependent on the NetHASP or the protected application, but functions as a link between the two. Regardless of the environment in which the protected application is activated - DOS, Windows, Win32, or OS/2 - you can activate any one of the NetHASP License Managers to communicate with the protected application and the NetHASP. One NetHASP License Manager can communicate with up to 250 NetHASP clients. When several applications are protected with different NetHASP keys, we recommend you daisy-chain all keys to a single computer. Alternatively, you can connect the keys to different computers but then you have to activate the NetHASP License Manager on each of these computers. Note: The NetHASP License Manager must remain active as long as any network station is running a protected application. The NetHASP License Manager you use should comply with the operating system of the computer it is loaded on. The following table lists the various NetHASP License Managers, under which operating system you activate them, and which protocols they support. NetHASP License Manager Protocol Support ============================================================ NetHASP License Manager IPX TCP/IP NetBIOS ============================================================ DOS ? ? (haspserv.exe) ------------------------------------------------------------ Windows and Win32s ? ? ? (nhsrvwin.exe) ------------------------------------------------------------ Windows 95 and Windows NT ? ? ? (nhsrvw32.exe) ------------------------------------------------------------ Netware 386 and 486 file servers ? (haspserv.nlm) ------------------------------------------------------------ OS/2 ? (nhsrvos2.exe) ============================================================ Note: By default, the NetHASP License Manager for Win32 listens to all three protocols simultaneously. The following sections describe the activation procedure for the NetHASP License Manager on various stations and file servers in the network. ***************************************************************************** NetHASP on a DOS Station ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The NetHASP License Manager for DOS is haspserv.exe. To load the NetHASP License Manager: 1. Connect the NetHASP to a DOS station. 2. Run haspserv.exe. A message appears informing you that the NetHASP License Manager is loaded. The message also shows which protocol is being used. Note: To load the NetHASP License Manager automatically, add its filename to the autoexec.bat file. To remove the NetHASP License Manager: * Run haspserv.exe -r. * Alternatively, delete the call line from the autoexec.bat file and reboot the station. ***************************************************************************** NetHASP on a Windows or Win32s Station ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The NetHASP License Manager for Windows is nhsrvwin.exe. To load the NetHASP License Manager: 1. Connect the NetHASP to a Windows or Win32s station. 2. Run nhsrvwin.exe. A window appears with a message informing you that the NetHASP License Manager is loaded. It also shows which protocol is being used. Note: To load the NetHASP License Manager for Windows automatically, add its icon to the StartUp group. To remove the NetHASP License Manager: * Choose Remove from the NetHASP License Manager menu bar. ***************************************************************************** NetHASP on a Novell Netware 386/486 File Server ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The NetHASP License Manager for Novell Netware file servers is haspserv.nlm. To load the NetHASP License Manager: 1. Connect the NetHASP to a Novell server. 2. Copy haspserv.nlm to the SYSTEM directory of the file server. 3. Load the NetHASP License Manager, by entering: load haspserv The NetHASP License Manager screen appears showing the protocol that is being used. Note: To load the NetHASP License Manager automatically, add the line load haspserv to the autoexec.ncf file in the sys:system directory. To remove NetHASP License Manager: * Enter unload haspserv. ***************************************************************************** NetHASP on a Windows 95 Station ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The NetHASP License Manager for Windows 95 is nhsrvw32.exe. To load the NetHASP License Manager: 1. Connect the NetHASP to a Windows 95 station. 2. Install the HASP Device Driver on the Windows 95 station by activating: hinstall -i. 3. Activate nhsrvw32.exe. A window appears with a message informing you that the NetHASP License Manager is loaded. It also shows which protocols are being used. To remove the NetHASP License Manager: * Choose Remove from the NetHASP License Manager main menu. ***************************************************************************** NetHASP on a Windows NT Station ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The NetHASP License Manager for Windows NT is nhsrvw32.exe. To load the NetHASP License Manager: 1. Connect the NetHASP to a Windows NT station. 2. Install the HASP Device Driver on the Windows NT station by activating: hinstall -i. 3. If you are using Windows NT version 4.0, skip to step 4. With Windows NT versions prior to version 4.0, you need to optimize the NetHASP License Manager response by setting the Tasking Option. This procedure causes Windows NT to give an equal time slice to foreground and background processes, and ensures that the NetHASP License Manager functions properly even if it is a background process. a. Double-click the System icon in the Control Panel window. b. Click the Tasking button in the System window. c. In the Tasking window Foreground/Background Responsiveness frame, click: Foreground and Background Applications Equally Responsive d. Click OK to save your settings. 4. Activate nhsrvw32.exe. A window appears with a message informing you that the NetHASP License Manager is loaded. It also shows which protocols are being used. To remove the NetHASP License Manager: * Choose Remove from the NetHASP License Manager main menu. Automatic Activation of the NetHASP License Manager --------------------------------------------------- Under Windows NT, you can load the NetHASP License Manager automatically before user log on. You implement this with hinstall.exe. Hinstall installs a HASP NT Loader implemented as a Windows NT service. This loader automatically loads the NetHASP License Manager. With the HASP NT Loader, you do not have to log on or interact with the Windows NT system. To instal...
