4 Predictor-LimA Type 7810 – Installation Manual Fig.2.2 Predictor Installation screen 6) Start Setup.exe in the Predictor-LimA setup folder 7) Follow the wizard. This will enable you to install Predictor, LimA, Predictor Analyst, Acoustic Determinator and the HASP device drivers. If you do not have the license file(s) and HASP key Predictor, Predictor Analyst and Acoustic Determinator will start in demo mode. Without license file and HASP key, LimA will not start. Selecting a component will start the corresponding installation software. 2.2 Predictor Predictor must be installed in a new, empty folder on the local hard disk or network drive. The Predictor installation software will also install SourceDB, a program for managing sound power levels, Georeference, a program for calibrating bitmaps and Wind Turbine Catalogue, a program for editing ‘WTCatalogue.wt’, the wind turbine catalogue. These programs are available from the Predictor main menu, under Tools. Licensing Predictor is protected by a hardware key in combination with up to three license files: ‘dongleid.lic’, ‘dongle-id.liz’ and ‘dongle-id.licx’, depending on the installed components and configuration. Each hardware key requires the license file or files. License files will be placed in the program folder during the installation. It is also possible to place license files manually into the program folder after installation. License files are only valid for the HASP hardware key with the same identification. Modelling License It is possible to use Predictor in modelling mode. With this option, modelling can be done on any computer, the only restriction is that it is not possible to perform calculations, use the
CHAPTER 2 Installing Predictor-LimA LimA Link or export results. For this option a valid license file (‘dongle-id.licx’) must be present in the program folders, but a dongle is not needed. Predictor Calculation Client Calculation time can be reduced with network calculation using the Calculation Client BZ-5552 software. As the Calculation Client is part of the Predictor installation, Predictor needs to be installed on all workstations to be used for calculations in the network. After installing Predictor, the calculation client can be started from the Windows ® start menu: Start > All Programs > Bruel & Kjaer Applications. The Calculation Client License pack enables you to run a calculation on three workstations simultaneously. Each additional Calculation Client add-on package increases the number of parallel workstations by two. The Calculation Client itself has minimal impact on network and workstation performance, even while a calculation is active. Once installed, Predictor takes care of the distribution and monitoring of calculation jobs. Redistribution of failed jobs (for example, when the workstation shuts down) is automatic. When placed in the same folder as the Predictor-LimA setup software, the license files for the additional dongles will automatically be placed in the program folder during the installation. It is also possible to place license files manually into the program folder after installation. Before starting a server calculation, a shared folder must be defined on the Predictor workstation and all Calculation Client workstations. This can be done by starting Predictor (if the workstation has no valid Predictor license, Predictor can be started in demo mode – note: this is only valid for defining the shared folder, calculations cannot be performed with the demo mode) and take the following steps: Fig.2.3 Server Settings window 1) Close the “Open project” dialog with Cancel. 2) Select “Server Settings ...” from the Calculations menu. 3) Select a shared folder on the network (see Fig.2.3). This shared folder must be located on a network drive and must be identical for all workstations that run the Calculation Client. Please note that it is not just the folder name that has to be identical but also the physical location on the network drive. Additionally, all users need to have write permission for this folder. 5
