Server and Client: SPLM Firewall Configuration

The SPLM system uses TCP ports to pass license information from the SPLM Server to the Clients. TCP port 807 is
utilized on the Server to listen for requests from the workstation. If a request is made, a random TCP port is
utilized to pass the seat from license machine to client. Since a firewall is used to prevent unauthorized port access,
SPLM has problems working properly with a firewall without a program exception due to the utilization of Random
TCP Ports.
If the user exits the application properly, the license used by the workstation is released back to the pool of licenses
available. Sometimes, when an application process is exited abnormally, the license seat is not returned to the
license manager. A SPLM scavenge routine can be run to find the seats on the network that are currently reserved.
If one is found, the seat can be returned to the pool if it is no longer in use. The firewall prevents the license
machine from retrieving the seat and returns a timed out error message if the program exception is not present in
the firewall on the client and the server. In this case the license is returned automatically after a long time period
has expired.
After installing SPLM on the Server and Clients, the pdlice.exe application needs to be added to the Exception List
for the Windows Firewall on both the Server and Clients. This allows proper scavenging and access to the license
machine. Otherwise, SPLM Clients will receive a SPLM connection timed out message when trying to
communicate to the server and the Server will not be able to scavenge licenses from the client.

Intergraph: SPLM CADWorx and Analysis FAQ

Q: What product licenses are managed with SPLM v10 and above?
A: CADWorx PLANT, CADWorx PLANT Professional, CADWorx P&ID, CADWorx P&ID, CAESAR II, PV
ELITE, TANK, PV Fabricator, ISOGEN.
Additional product licenses will be added in future releases.
Q: Where can I find SmartPlant License Manager and other products to download?
A: SmartPlant License Manager is available from the following web page:
https://crmweb.intergraph.com
Select Downloads > Products > SPLM
You do not need a serial number to install SmartPlant License Manager.
Note: Do not update to the latest and greatest without first consulting ECE. A new Machine ID will
need to be generated as well as a new Software Key.
Q: What do I need to do to receive a License Key?
A: You need to generate a Machine ID from your license machne and submit it to Intergraph to request
a license key from ECE Design. After installing SPLM, you can find this utility Generate Machine ID
on your Start menu (Programs > Intergraph SmartPlant License Manager).
Q: What is a License Server?
A: The License Server is the computer where the license key is loaded; it can be a standard computer
or a server. It requires a static IP address. The license key tells the license machine how many
licenses it can issue. Clients of a license machine are computers where SPLM is installed and
pointing to the license mServer. The computer where you start the software (such as CADWorx)
asks the license machine for a license. If a license is available, the license machine provides it. If all
licenses are in use, the client is not granted a license.
Q: What is the Machine ID?
A: The Machine ID is a collection of hardware and software identifies which together allow a machine
to be uniquely identified and is used to manage licenses. The information is used to generate the
license key and is not useful to other software programs.
Q: Do I need to have SPLM installed in order to generate the Machine ID?
A: No. The utility used to generate the machine identifier is included in the SPLM installation and can
be downloaded separately without installing SPLM. It is used to generate the Machine ID, which is used
to produce keys for the license machine. SPLM and the new licenses may be installed at the same time,
minimizing disruptions or down times.
Q: Do I need to have SPLM installed in order to install a license key?
A: Yes. You need to have SPLM license manager installed in order to install a key.
The version of the key has to match the version of the Machine ID executable.

SPLM
SmartPlant
License Manager

You need to run generate Machine ID in order to activate the GUI that allows you to install a key.
Q: Will providing the machine ID make my machine less secure?
A: No. The Machine ID allows the license manager to uniquely identify your machine from a collection
of hardware and software identifiers without explicitly publishing your machines TCP/IP address. Since
the machine identifier can not be used like a TCP/IP address it is actually more secure than publishing
your machines TCP/IP address.
Q: Is my existing key still running if I regenerate the Machine ID?
A: Yes, but you will not be able to reinstall the old key; you will need to request a new key for the new
machine identifier.
Q: I currently have SPLM v10 installed. Can I install SPLM v11 on top of this version? What will
happen with my current license key?
A: No, you will need to uninstall any of your existing SPLM version first prior installing SPLM v11,
because we provided separate SPLM Client and License Machine installation mode in v11. You will
not be able to use your license key generated with SPLM v10 after upgrading to SPLM v11. You will
need to use Machine ID generated with SPLM v11 to generate a new SPLM v11 license key.
