The license can be configured in Simlab using the following ways:

SimLab Installation 

• The license can be defined on the installer page as either server or standalone (node-locked) licenses. 

• The license defined in the installer page will be written along with the ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH environment variable in the vpinit.bat file available in SimLab installation location. 

Configure.exe

• Open the vpinit.bat file in notepad, point the required license under the ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH env and save it.   

SimLab File > Licensing
