SECTION 3

Using the SmartPlant License Checkout

Utility
The SmartPlant License Checkout utility allows you to obtain licenses for ICAS for use on a
non-networked computer (for example, a remote laptop). Using this utility allows you to run ICAS
without a network connection to the license machine. Each user on a server can check out a
license on that machine. When you check out a license, the license and expiration information
are stored for use by the application. Your Intergraph application determines the license
information location and whether the checkout operation applies to all users or a single user on
the same system.
Each time you start the product during the checkout period, a message displays the expiration
date for the checked out license. When the checkout period for the license expires, the
application attempts to request a license using SmartPlant License Manager the next time you
start the product. For example, after the license expires at 11:59 PM on the expiration date, the
next time you start the product, it attempts to access the SmartPlant License Manager license
machine for base and module licenses prior to running.

 For information on products supported by the SmartPlant License Checkout Utility, see the
Intergraph PPM Compatibility Matrix - Product Report: Intergraph Smart Support Online

 You must install and configure SmartPlant License Manager before checking out a license.
 You must have administrator privileges to setup and install the utility.
