GETTING STARTED GUIDE I LAW PREDISCOVERY
LAW Profile Manager
LAW PreDiscovery uses a server-based licensing scheme, making it easier to track and assign licenses. All
licenses are maintained on one or more hardware dongles installed on a host computer, referred to as the
“License Server.” Each workstation is then able to access the License Server through the network to “check
out” available licenses for use on that individual workstation.
The LAW Profile Manager enables you to quickly select licenses, create profiles, identify the licenses in
use, and identify the licenses currently available.
The LAW Profile Manager is used to establish or change the hostname of the computer that is hosting the
license hardware key, or the License Server. Ensure at least one hardware dongle is attached to a computer
before launching LAW PreDiscovery software.
To initially launch LAW PreDiscovery software:
1. Start the LAW PreDiscovery software from your program folder or from the shortcut icon on your desktop.
2. Enter the hostname of the server with the LAW PreDiscovery dongle attached, and click OK.
Note: If LAW PreDiscovery is installed on a network and the program file, Law50.exe, is shared, the
hostname needs to be entered only once. If LAW PreDiscovery is executed locally, the hostname needs to
be entered for each workstation when the product is launched.
