Step 9 To start using the program, exit the License Manager and start the program.

Adding a License (Browser Method)

Before using the Browser method, try the Express method. With the Express method, there is no need to

exchange codes and you can add many licenses to your computer in one operation. Use this procedure

if the Express method fails or you prefer to use the Browser method.

Note You must perform a license-add procedure (using Express, Browser, or an alternative method) for every

computer to which you want to add a license. For example, suppose you want to add the Design and

Analysis and Virtual Network Data Server licenses to two separate computers. In this case, you must go

to each computer separately and add the desired licenses.

Note If you still cannot add your licenses using this method, see the “Technical Support for Licensing

Operations” section on page 5-8.

Step 1 Start the License Manager: Go to the Windows Start menu and choose Start > Programs >

Cisco Network Planning Solution 1.0 > License Manager.

Step 2 License Manager: Click on the green dot that represents the License Server on the computer where you

want to add the license. (The License Server computer might not be the same as your local computer.)

Click Add License on the right side of the window.

Step 3 License Manager: When prompted, click Browser. The following events should now occur:

•The License Manager launches your Web browser and points it to the OPNET Quick Support Page

for Cisco Solutions.

•The License Manager shows a transaction code and a hostname.

Step 4 Web browser: Enter the Username and Password that you received when you registered your product

with Cisco Systems, Inc. (as described in the “Obtaining a Username and Password” section on

page 5-2).

If your browser fails to launch, start it manually and navigate to the following URL:

http://www.opnet.com/support/cisco_qsp.html

Then follow the License Registration link in the browser window.

Step 5 Web browser: Click Perform license operations, then select Add License (add_permits) and click

Next. Back in the License Manager, a dialog box containing a Transaction Code and Hostname field

should appear.
