On Windows

The installation consists of these steps:

  1. Create the install directory for SLM. The default directory is:
    %SystemDrive%\Program Files\SLM
  2. Create a global environment variable SLMHOME that directs to this directory:
    1. Click Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables
    2. Insert the SLMHOME variable with the variable's unique value in the system variables.
  3. Transfer the SLM client files.
    Transfer the files from the ..\client\Windows_x86 (or Windows_x64) directory of the SLM installation software to the %SLMHOME% directory.
  4. Set the PATH variable.
    To enable the operating system to find the SLM DLL files in %SLMHOME%\bin, you must extend the PATH environment variable. Add %SLMHOME%\bin to your PATH.
  5. Set the CLASSPATH variable.
    Java programs can also use the SLM licensing scheme. For this purpose, the environment variable CLASSPATH must be extended with the com_baan_bclm.jar file. Add %SLMHOME%\java\com_baan_bclm.jar.
  6. Use slmconfig -c to create the servers.xml file or copy it from an already configured SLM client
  7. Check the installation and configuration by running slmclienttest.
