Installing a FlexNet License

To Activate a FlexNet License:

1. Install MDK-ARM on the workstation. Administration rights are required.
2. Connect the workstation to the network in case of a floating license.
3. For floating licenses you need to obtain the URL from the system administrator. The URL should have the form portNumber@hostServer.

   Ensure the firewall is not blocking the port or application.

4. For node locked licenses you need to obtain a license file and store it on your machine.
