License Manager
The ETAP License Manager is installed as part of the ETAP installation program. A separate setup program is provided
to install the ETAP License Manager. ETAP 12.0.0 License Manager is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit computers and
earlier versions of ETAP.

Stand-Alone licenses:
Insert the ETAP Security Key in the same computer. With this option, ETAP and ETAP License Manager will be
automatically installed on your computer.

Network licenses:
Install the ETAP License Manager on a computer designated as the ETAP License Manager Server. In this configuration,
the ETAP Security Key must be located at the ETAP License Manager Server.

For the Stand Alone license, the ETAP application, License Manager, and USB key must be installed on the same PC.

With the Network license the License Manager and key are installed on a server PC and ETAP is installed on the client
PC. However, the Network license has the option to install the ETAP application, License Manager, and key on the same PC.

To continue with the installation instructions first identify the type of license you are using. A label on the key identifies the
key as “Stand Alone” or “Network”.
