1. After the latest Siemens License Server Installer has been launched, choose your language. Click OK.
   
   Select Language
2. Select Add/Replace License.  Click “Next.”
   
   Add, Replace, Repair
3. Browse to location where you saved the new license file you received. Select the license from the folder and click “Next.”
   
   Import License
4. You might get the message below. This means your License manager is currently running and/or may be running a similar license for the application you already have. Click yes and proceed if you want to stop the server, no if you want to run this setup at another time when the server can be shutdown.
   
   Service Already Exists
5. If you need to change the port settings other than the default 29000/29001 do so here, otherwise click “Next.”  Ports are defined for each application so that it has a dedicated way to communicate with your license server while other applications are also using the same license server.
   
   Port Changes
6. In the Enter Webkey window, type your Siemens account (Webkey) or Support Center login, which is in email address format. Or, if you do not yet have a Siemens account, type the email that you will provide when you sign up for an account. The email you enter in this window is encrypted and stored locally on the server and is not sent to Siemens or used for any other purpose. Providing a Webkey installs the Siemens License Install Manager (SLIM), enabling you to manage your license servers remotely from a Windows machine on your network. If you do not want to install SLIM, select the "I don't want this feature" check box. Click Next.
