SECTION 2
Licensing
TANK supports three types of licensing:
Local External Software Lock (ESL) - Hardware-based licensing using a green USB
dongle. A local ESL can be moved between computers (such as between desktops and
laptops).
Network External Software Lock (ESL) - Hardware-based licensing using a red USB
dongle. A network ESL is installed on a computer that is network accessible from the
computer, or multiple computers, running TANK.
License Manager - Software-based licensing using SmartPlant License Manager (SPLM).

For more information, see SmartPlant License Manager Installation (on page 17). Refer to
the SmartPlant License Manager documentation for complete installation and configuration
instructions.
External Software Lock (ESL) Keys

The External Software Lock (ESL) is the security protection method used by Intergraph CAS,
Inc. The software cannot execute unless an appropriate ESL (green or red USB key) is
connected locally to the computer, or to another computer in the network (red USB key).
The ESL contains the TANK licensing data, and other client-specific information. This
information includes the client company name and user ID number. Additional data may be
stored on the ESL depending on the specific program and the specific client.
There are two different ESL types, local and network. Both types of ESLs are intended to be
attached to the USB ports of the applicable computers. The appropriate ESL(s) are shipped with
your product according to the licensing type purchase.
Local ESLs provide the maximum flexibility in using the software in that they can be moved
between computers (for example, between desktops and laptops).
Network ESLs must be attached to a computer on the network, either a computer or the
server. In order for the network to respond to software requests for the ESL, the NetHASP
License Manager utility must also be running on the computer where the network ESL is
attached.
The HASP drivers for ESL usage can be found in the sub-directory ASSIDRV beneath the
TANK program directory. The documentation files in this sub-directory contain instructions for a
variety of networks and operating systems. Note that there are periodic updates to these ESL
drivers and they can be downloaded from the Intergraph eCustomer
(https://www.crmweb.intergraph.com) website.
Do not connect two locks to the same computer. The software finds the first lock and
returns its code. For example, you have a lock for CAESAR II and CADWorx and plug both into
the same computer. You start CAESAR II, but the software might find the CADWorx lock first
and return an error. If the same computer is going to run more than one Intergraph CAS, Inc.
product, then contact Intergraph CAS by sending an email to
icaslicenserequests@intergraph.com to request that both products be licensed from the same
lock.
13
ESL Installation
The following topics explain how to install the different hardware locks supported by TANK.
What do you want to do?
Install a local lock (on page 14)
Install a network lock (on page 14)
Install a local lock

1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. If you are installing CAESAR II, PV Elite, or TANK, navigate to c:\Program Files\Intergraph
CAS\Product\Assidrv and double-click HASPUserSetup.exe.
-ORIf you are installing CADWorx, navigate to c:\CADWorx Version\Product\Assidrv and
double-click HaspHLDriverSetup.exe
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.
Install a network lock

The following list details general information about red network ESLs.
14
The red network ESL should be set up by a Network Administrator or someone familiar with
Windows-based networks. If you are not familiar with concepts such as network protocols,
broadcast, IP addresses, TCP, UDP, and Windows Services, please do not attempt to setup
the red network ESL.
The red network ESL does not have to be attached to the network server. We recommend
attaching the red network ESL to a computer that is always up and running, can be
re-booted without impact to users, and is not the primary computer for any user on the
network.
If you install an Intergraph CAS product on a network drive for multiple users to access,
assign read/write privileges for all users to the [Product Folder]\System folder. Intergraph
CAS applications write temporary files to the [Product Folder]\System folder that pertains to
the installation. The [Product Folder]\System folder also needs to have read/write privileges
for all users.
If you are using other network protocols, such as NetBIOS or IPX, check the SafeNet web
site for instructions. The only protocol tested with Intergraph CAS products is TCP/IP.
The information provided in TANK Help file is a supplement to the NetHasp User's Guide,
which is delivered as a PDF(_NETHASP.pdf) in Assidrv folder. Review the PDF file for any
issues not addressed in the Help file.

Notes on Network ESLs
A network ESL has advantages and disadvantages. One big advantage is that many client
computers can access the software from a single server. Additional points for consideration are
listed below.
Depending on the number of licenses allowed by the network ESL, some users may receive
error messages when attempting to access the software. For example, if the ESL has been
configured to allow four simultaneous users, an error message stating that no licenses are
available when the fifth user attempts to access the software. Consequently, the fifth user is
not able to access the software until one of the first four users exits the software and
releases a license.
Because of the communication procedures between the client computer and the file server,
memory access to the network ESL is much slower than to a local ESL. This access time
delay only occurs when the software is first started after installation.
Because there is no network specific version of the software, the software looks first for a
local ESL, and then for a network ESL. This allows both a network ESL and several local
ESLs to be used on the same system. This transparent ESL access procedure allows a
single version of the software to be used on the network and on remote computers.
We recommend that only 70 to 80 percent of the required licenses be assigned to a network

ESL, with the remaining 20 to 30 percent assigned to local ESLs. This enables the local ESL
to be moved between computers. If all of the licenses are on the network ESL, a user must
be logged into the network to access the software. As such, a few local ESLs provide much
greater operating flexibility.
NetHASP License Manager / NETHASP.INI Instructions

You must have Administrator privileges to perform the following procedure.
1. Attach the red network hardware lock to the parallel port or USB port of the computer.
2. On the computer where the hardware lock is attached, navigate to the [Product
Folder]\Assidrv folder and double click Lmsetup.exe. Follow the on-screen instructions to
install the NetHASP License Manager as a service.
3. The NetHasp License Manager starts automatically each time you re-boot the computer.
This occurs because the NetHasp License Manager is set up as a start up service inside
Windows XP/Vista/7. To verify that the service is running, click Start > Control Manager >
Administrative Services, and then double-click Services. In the Services dialog box,
locate HASP Loader in the Name list. The HASP Loader Service starts even if no one logs
into the computer.
4. Determine what protocols the NetHasp License Manager is listening to. The NetHasp
License Manager displays a message similar to those list below:
Server is listening to IPX : Loaded
Server is listening to TCP/IP : Loaded
Server is listening to NetBIOS : Loaded
Loaded means that this protocol is active on the computer.
5. Open the Activity Log menu. This displays the activity log that confirms which protocols are
loaded. Do not be alarmed if the activity log reports that the NHSRV.ini file is not found.
15

6. Use the box in the top-left corner of the activity log to display only the information specific to
each protocol. Open the activity log for the protocol you want to use, and verify that it
contains no error messages.
7. For TCP/IP protocol, the activity log should report something similar to the following:
Server IP address: 111.111.111.111
Server Host Name: PDC_NT01
8. To speed up response time to the network key, use the Remove menu to unload any
protocols that you are not planning to use with the NetHasp License Manager.
Modify NetHASP.ini for TCP/IP Protocol

If you still cannot access the network ESL you need to configure this NetHASP.ini
file. You must know the IP address of the computer where the red network hardware lock is
attached. All lines with a semi-colon at the start are considered not used.
1. Modify the NetHASP.ini file, located at in the [Product Folder]\Assidrv folder under
[NH_COMMON], as follows:
a. NH_TCPIP = Enabled
AND under [NH_TCPIP]
b. NH_SERVER_ADDR = 111.111.111.111
c.
NH_USE_BROADCAST = Disabled
You may also have to modify other entries in the [NH_TCPIP] section depending on
your network setup. The most common entry to modify is NH_TCPIP_METHOD.
2. Copy the NetHASP.ini file to the AutoCAD folder.
Example: C:\Program Files\AutoCAD
Example: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD
3. For CADWorx Design, copy the NetHASP.ini file to the [Product Folder]\Intergraph
CAS\CADWorx Design folder.
4. Start TANK.
Troubleshooting Network Locks

1. Verify that the NetHasp License Manager is running on the computer where the red network
ESL is attached.
2. Verify the protocols that NetHasp License Manager is broadcasting. Make sure that these
protocols are installed on the client computers.
3. Install and run the Monitor Utility. This file, NetHASPMonitorSetup.exe, is located in the
[Product Folder] Assidrv folder. If NetHASP Monitor cannot find the red network ESL, then
TANK cannot find the red network ESL.
16
SmartPlant License Manager Installation

Before beginning the product installation, refer to the delivered SmartPlant License Manager
readme file for the latest product installation updates. The readme file is delivered in the top
level product folder of the product media. Be sure you have the latest version of the SmartPlant
License Manager software before beginning the installation. If you do not have the latest version
of the software, you can install it using http://ppmapps.intergraph.com/elicense
(http://ppmapps.intergraph.com/elicense).
SmartPlant License Manager 2010 (v11) can be upgraded to SmartPlant License
Manager 2012 (v12). Any existing license key will be invalidated after the upgrade to SmartPlant
License Manager 2012 (v12). You will also need to generate a new computer ID and request a
new key. If you upgrade the SmartPlant License Manager 2010 (v11) license computer to a
SmartPlant License Manager 2012 (v12) client by mistake, you will have to un-install the
SmartPlant License Manager client and reinstall SmartPlant License Manager 2012 (v12)
license computer.
Hardware Configurations
The SmartPlant License Manager licensing computer software should be installed on a stable,
single node, hardware configuration (such as a simple PC), with a static IP address, because
license key installation and license seat usage authentication depends on the information
gathered from the physical hardware. Any automated changes that cause the hardware
information not to match with the information used to generate the license key will result in a
failure of the authentication process.
Virtual (including VMware), shadowed, mirrored, dynamic, or distributed hardware
configurations cannot be used as a SmartPlant License Manager licensing computer. This
includes terminal (application) servers, networked and distributed storage management
systems, and so forth. When these specialized systems occur in the user's network, the
SmartPlant License Manager Server licensing computer should be installed on a separate
dedicated hardware configuration system. The SmartPlant License Manager licensing computer
should be situated on the user's network where it can be accessed by all systems that are
running application software that relies on the SmartPlant License Manager licensing computer
for license management.
Multiple SmartPlant License Manager licensing computers can be used in the user's network as
long as each system is a unique hardware system/installation. If SmartPlant License Manager
licensing computers are cloned after the license key has been installed, then the license
management will fail on the cloned system. Each SmartPlant License Manager licensing
computer requires its own unique license key.
RAID (redundant array of independent disks) and SAN (storage area networks) are not
supported on a SmartPlant License Manager license computer.
The license computer must have the same version (or later) of SmartPlant License Manager
installed as any client computers. In other words, you cannot use a newer version on a client
computer to retrieve a license from an older version of SmartPlant License Manager on the
licensing computer. The license computer must have the same version (or a newer version)
installed than the clients.
You must log in as Administrator to install this software.
17

1. Insert the Intergraph SmartPlant License Manager media. If the media does not start
automatically, double-click Setup.exe in the root folder of the media.

9. Click Install on the Ready to Install the Program page. A status bar displays the progress
of the installation on the Status Setup page.
10. Click Finish on the InstallShield Wizard Complete page to complete installation of
SmartPlant License Manager.
Do not delete any files that are created during installation or as a result of using
SmartPlant License Manager. Removal of any files causes the license system to fail and
can require install, repair, or possibly removal and re-install of SmartPlant License Manager.
11. Add pdlice.exe to both the license computer and the client computer after installing of
SPLM. You may need to remove pdlice.exe and re-add it if you uninstall and reinstall
SPLM to upgrade SPLM from previous version to a current version. Otherwise, you may
receive a Connection timed out error message when you start your application. You may
also see the same error in your scavenging log file.

Will providing the Machine ID make my computer less secure?
No. The Machine ID allows the license manager to uniquely identify your computer from a
collection of hardware and software identifiers without explicitly publishing your computer's
TCPIP address. Because the computer identifier cannot be used like a TCPIP address, it is
actually more secure than publishing your computer's TCPIP address.

Purchasing Licenses FAQ

Do I have to request a software upgrade from my local office before requesting a license?
No, you can request licenses without upgrading the software. If you are upgrading software,
you must request the upgrade before you request licenses. A license request does not
include a software upgrade and a software upgrade does not include a license request.

General Topics FAQ
What is a license machine?
The license machine is the computer where the license key is loaded; it can be a standard
computer or a server. The license key tells the license machine how many licenses it can
issue. Clients of a license machine are computers where SmartPlant License Manager is
installed and pointing to the license machine. The computer where you start the software
(for example, PDS or SmartPlant P&ID) asks the license machine for a license. If a license
is available, the license machine provides it. If all licenses are in use, the client is not
granted a license.
How can I tell what version of SPLM was used in the Machine ID or license key file?
Please check the starting number in your Machine ID or license key. See the table below.
Version
Machine ID starts with
License key starts with
2012 (v12)
2010 (v11)
2008 (v10)
Do I have to have one license computer for each LAN?

No, your configuration is entirely up to you. A persistent network connection is required if
you want to connect to a license server that belongs to a different LAN.
Can I make an educated guess at my installation date?
Yes. Intergraph provides a key within 48 hours of receipt of your request (via mail or phone).
Please ensure that the date you request is the actual date that you install the key, making
sure that all necessary software is available and loaded before that date. We request that
you notify us as early as possible.
What happens if my license machine goes down?
You are unable to check out licenses from this machine until it is back in use. Processes
that already have licenses checked out are not affected by the fact that the license computer
is unavailable.
It is possible in critical situations to request emergency licenses from Intergraph. They are
installed on the client computer rather than a licensing machine. Contact Intergraph Support
at 1-800-766-7701 or your local Intergraph office for more information.
What happens if the license machine is rebooted in the middle of my design session?
Nothing. Licensing does not depend on maintaining a continuous communication link to the
license computer.
What happens if my local computer goes down after I've obtained a license?
If the scavenger cannot contact the client computer during scavenging, the license is
marked for a 16-hour hold before it is released. The scavenger periodically advances this
16-hour timer for each license. It is important to schedule the scavenger to run regularly, at
21

least every hour or two. If the client is in contact sooner, the hold is voided and normal
scavenging takes over.
I am running out of licenses earlier than I believe I should be. How can I troubleshoot to
understand what is happening?
Have your users click Scavenge for Keys on the Scavenge Options dialog box or you can
type pdlice -n in a Command Prompt window.
If you think that client nodes are improperly holding onto licenses, examine the results of the
pdlice -M command. This shows you which client nodes have licenses checked out. If a
client computer has no plant design-related activity and it is still holding licenses, rebooting
that client and then scavenging from the license computer may free some licenses.
If possible, find out what was processing when the job stopped. This information can help
you and/or Intergraph determine the underlying cause of the termination. Save the output of
any scavenging process that returns a license. This information provides the reasons why
the license was returned. The output of the scavenger includes the following information:
nodename, product tag, batch mode (Yes/No), process ID, and checkout time.
What do I type to see the number of licenses?
Click Show Key Status from the Display Options dialog box to show the status of your
keys.
How can I tell who is using a license?
Click Display Status of Reserved License on the Display Options dialog box or in the
license log file.
We installed a key for three licenses, but we can operate only two licenses at the same
time. Why?
There can be several reasons.
Click Display Status of Reserved License on the Display Options dialog box to
determine the number of licenses that your key contains.
Click Scavenge for Keys on the Scavenge Options dialog box to scavenge for the third
license that you are unable to use.
Verify that clients and servers can telnet to each other. Look for anomalies such as two
nodes on the network with the same name or the reuse of an old name for a new computer,
but with some traces of the old computer still existing in files on the network.
When an application is on a computer that is disconnected from the network without
exiting the product, how long is the license held?
16 hours.
How long would a daily license last?
Daily license expires after 12 hours.

Using the SmartPlant License Checkout Utility

The SmartPlant License Checkout utility (License Checkout Utility.exe) allows you to obtain
licenses for Intergraph ICAS products for use on a non-networked computer (for example, a
remote laptop). Using this utility allows you to run ICAS products without a network connection
to the license machine. Each user on a server can check out a license from that server.
When you check out a license, the license and expiration information are stored on your local
machine, separate from other license and expiration information. A license is available only for
the user that checks out the license. Each time you start the product during the checkout period,
a message displays the expiration date for the checked out license.
When the checkout period for the license expires, the ICAS product attempts to request a
license using SmartPlant License Manager the next time you start the product. For example,
after the license expires at 11:59 PM on the expiration date, the next time you start the product,
it attempts to access the SmartPlant License Manager license machine for base and module
licenses prior to running.
You must install and configure SmartPlant License Manager before checking out a license.
You must have administrator privileges to setup and install the utility.
Install SmartPlant License Checkout Utility

Do not uninstall the version of the SmartPlant License Checkout Utility that is
currently on your system if you (a) are installing a new product that includes SmartPlant License
Checkout Utility v11, or (b) have other applications such as SmartPlant Review or SmartSketch
loaded on your machine.
The older version of the SmartPlant License Checkout Utility is needed to work with your
currently-loaded application(s). Refer to the compatibility matrix chart on eCustomer for
information on application versions and their required version of the SmartPlant License
Checkout Utility.
Install the Utility

1. Insert the product disc. If the installation does not start automatically, double-click setup.exe
in the main folder.
For ICAS products, locate the SmartPlant License Checkout Utility installation
program in the Other Installs folder of the product DVD.
2. Click SmartPlant License Checkout Utility Installation.
3. Type your name and company name.
4. Verify your name and company name, and then click Next.
5. Click Display to read and accept the license agreement, and then click Yes.
You must have a PDF reader to view the license agreement.
6. Specify the destination folder.
23

7. Review your settings, and then click Next.
8. Click Install to start the installation process.
9. Click Finish.
You can uninstall the License Checkout utility at any time, even if you are currently running
a product in remote license mode.
If you installed the latest version of the SmartPlant License Checkout Utility (v11), it is
installed along with the older version you have:
License Utility Checkout Dialog Box

Specifies the product for which you want to check out a license.
Options
Application Group - Displays the installed products available for license checkout. Select the
product for which you want to check out licenses.
If the Application Group list is empty, your application requires an older version of the
checkout utility. Please check your original product installation media for the compatible version
of the utility.
Available Modules - Displays any modules or add-ins available with your product. If no
modules appear in the list, either your product contains no supported modules, or no modules
have been installed. Check the box beside the module for which you want to check out a
license, and then click Check Out. If you want to check out only the base product, do not check
any of the modules.
License Expiration - Specifies the date that you want the checkout to expire. When the
checkout period for the license expires, the product returns to normal and connected license
operation using the SmartPlant License Manager the next time you start the product.
Check Out a License for TANK

Be sure that the SmartPlant License Manager (SPLM) is installed and configured on your
computer.
To check out a license for TANK

1. Click Start > Programs > Intergraph SmartPlant License Checkout Utility > License
Checkout Utility.
The SPLM Checkout Utility (see "License Utility Checkout Dialog Box" on page 24)
dialog box opens.
2. In the Application Group list, select TANK.
You must close the TANK application when checking out a license.
24

3. In the Available Modules list, click the checkbox for each module you need.
TANK users must check out all listed TANK modules for the software to function
correctly.
4. Select an expiration from the License Expiration list, and then click Check Out.
The checkout utility searches for an available license.
You may experience a delay as the utility checks the network for available licenses.
When you open TANK the status of the checkout license displays at the bottom of the TANK
main window. When you are on the last day of your license checkout, the status displays
you have zero days remaining.
Once you check out a license, it cannot be checked in. If you check out three modules (four total
licenses: one base and three modules), then attempt to run the License Checkout Utility again
and select two other modules, the software displays a dialog box that notifies you that a license
is already checked out for TANK and displays the expiration date for that license.
When running in remote license mode, you cannot use setup to modify the product installation
until the following conditions are met:
The checkout duration expires.
The system is working with SmartPlant License Manager in connected license mode once
again.
In other words, you cannot install or remove modules while running in remote license mode.
If TANK is running in remote license mode but is unable to confirm for any reason that it is
running in that mode, TANK automatically returns to connected license mode and attempts to
obtain the licenses from SmartPlant License Manager. TANK notifies you if it is unable to obtain
licenses from SmartPlant License Manager.
Each time you start TANK while using remote license mode, the software displays a message
informing you when the checked out licenses expire. The first time that you run TANK after the
checked out licenses expire, the software displays a message informing you that the checked
out licenses have expired and that the software is reverting to the standard connected license
mode and attempting to get licenses from SmartPlant License Manager.

Install TANK on a Network

Network ESL
A network ESL must be attached to the USB port of a computer on the network, such as a
workstation or a server. A server is a better location for this ESL because it is usually always
running. If the network ESL is attached to a workstation, the workstation must be running and/or
logged onto the network before anyone can use the software.
For a network ESL, you must load utility software on the computer where the ESL is installed.
The utility used depends on the type of network and whether the ESL is on a server or a
workstation. The installer and instructions for network ESL usage are found in the SetupESL
folder on the Intergraph TANK DVD.
There are advantages and disadvantages to using a network ESL. The main advantage is that
many users (up to the number of licenses) have access from a variety of computers, while the
29

ESL is on a single server. The main disadvantage is that you cannot move the ESL between
computers in order to take the software to a remote location.
A network and several local ESLs can be used on the same network because there is no
network-specific version of the software. We recommend that only 70 to 80 percent of the
licenses be assigned to a network ESL. Assign the remaining 20 to 30 percent of the licenses to
local ESLs. The local ESLs can then be moved between computers to run the software at
remote locations.
Novell File Server ESL Installation

If the network ESL is located on a Novell file server, the driver HASPSERV.NLM is needed.
Copy this driver to the file server into the top level SYSTEM directory. Modify the system startup
file (AUTOEXEC.NCF) to include the command LOAD HASPSERV.
You can use SYSCON (or equivalent) with Supervisor rights to perform this modification.
Novell Workstation ESL Installation

If the network ESL is located on a workstation, the driver HASPSERV.EXE is needed. Copy this
driver to the workstation. The folder location on the workstation is not important, as long as the
driver can be located at startup. Place the HASPSERV command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file of
the workstation, after the commands which load the network drivers.
The workstation does not need to be logged in, but it must always be up and running for
you to access the ESL and open TANK.
Windows Server Installation

For a Windows server installation, see Nethasp.pdf and ESL_RED.txt in the SetupESL folder of
the Intergraph TANK DVD.
Software Installation on a Network Drive

The installation program treats a network drive no different than a local hard drive. Simply
specify the target installation drive and folder and the software will be copied and expanded
accordingly.
Some networks protect installation directories from subsequent modification by users. This
involves setting the access rights to the installation folder to read, share, and scan. Because
Intergraph CAS, Inc. software uses data files specific to the installation (that is, accounting files,
material files, and so forth) which a user may need to modify, these files cannot be located in the
protected installation folder. Therefore, these data files are located in a subfolder named
SYSTEM, underneath the installation folder. Users should be given all access rights to this
SYSTEM folder. (While the actual name of the program's installation folder can be specified by
the person installing the software, the SYSTEM subdirectory name is fixed, and is automatically
created. Renaming this subfolder will cause the software to fail and generate an error report.
Note that this SYSTEM subfolder is not the primary top level SYSTEM directory containing the
network operating system. Consult your system administrator for clarification.
After the software has been installed on the network drive, the installation program launches the
configuration program which generates a default configuration file. After the installation folder is
write protected this file cannot be modified. (This is actually a good idea, because this
configuration file can then only be used as a starting template to generate other configuration
files located in the various user data directories.)
30
ESL Installation on a Network

Intergraph CAS software programs support "local" ESLs and "network" ESLs. Both types of
ESLs are intended to be attached to the USB ports of the applicable computers. The local ESLs
provide the maximum flexibility in using the software, because these devices can be moved
between computers (such as between desktops and laptops). If your computer uses a local
ESL, you can skip the remainder of this section.
The network ESL must be attached to the USB port of a computer on the network (this can be a
workstation or the file server). The file server is a better location for this ESL, because the
computer is usually always on. If the network ESL is attached to a workstation, the workstation
must be running and/or logged onto the network before anyone can use the software.
In order for the network to recognize the ESL, you must load a utility program must be loaded on
the machine controlling the ESL. The actual utility used depends on whether the ESL is on the
file server or a workstation and the type of network. The drivers for network ESL usage can be
found in the sub-directory ASSIDRV beneath the TANK program folder. The documentation files
in this sub-folder contain instructions for a variety of networks and operating systems.
Windows Server Installation

For a Windows server installation, refer to the documentation files NETHASP.TXT and
ESL_RED.TXT found in the Assidrv subfolder for network specific instructions.
Network ESLs Notes

There are advantages and disadvantages to using a network ESL. The prime advantage is that
many users (up to the number of licenses) have access (from a variety of computers) to the
software on a single server.
The main disadvantage is that users cannot transfer the ESL between computers in order to
take the software to a remote location.
Because both a network and several local ESLs can be used on the same computer (there is no
network-specific version of the software), we recommend that only 70 to 80 percent of the
licenses be assigned to a network ESL. The remaining 20 to 30 percent of the licenses should
be assigned to local ESLs. This enables the local ESLs to be moved between computers to run
the software at remote locations. Alternatively, if all of the licenses are on the network ESL, a
user must then be logged into the network to access the software. A few local ESLs provide
greater flexibility.
31
Install TANK in Silent Mode

You can use the Windows Installer to install and uninstall TANK using a command line instead
of the normal installer interface. You can then perform an unattended installation without dialog
boxes, such as when performing a network installation or a corporate repackaging. The
following command line arguments and parameters can be used with Windows Installer

Troubleshoot Installation
The following section details quick resolutions to TANK installation issues.
Why do I get an error message saying TANK cannot locate the

configuration file when I try to run TANK?
The Windows 8 platform installs with .NET Framework 4.0 by default. However, TANK requires
.NET Framework 3.5.1 to run. From Windows 8, you can enable .NET Framework 3.5.1 through
the Control Panel.
You must have an Internet connection to enable .NET from the Windows Control Panel.
To enable .NET Framework 3.5.1

1. Close TANK.
2. From the Control Panel, click Programs.
3. In Programs and Features, click Turn Windows features on or off.
4. Select Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 and click OK.
5. Run TANK.
Why does the TANK Configuration Editor not open?

Why does the Configuration Editor not save and close?
If the Configuration Editor does not open or will not save and close as it should, you should
look at your User Account Control (UAC) settings through the Windows Control Panel.
Decrease the level of your UAC notifications in the Control Panel>System and Security
settings.
Make sure that the TANK system folder has read/write access for your user account.
In addition, verify that you have the system 32 path included in your Windows Environment
Variables.
To add the system 32 path to your Environment Variables

1. Close TANK.
2. Right-click on Computer and select Properties>Advanced system settings.
3. From the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables.
4. Select Path in the System variables list and click Edit.
5. Add the following path to the Variable value and click OK.
c:\Windows\system32\;
6. Run TANK.

SECTION 4
Update TANK Software

Intergraph CAS, Inc. software products are not static; they change continually to reflect
engineering code addenda, operational enhancements, user requests, operating system
modifications, and corrections. New versions are planned and targeted for a specific release
date. However, there may be corrections necessary to the currently shipping version, before the
next version can be released. When this occurs, an update to the currently shipping version is
made. This update is referred to as either a hotfix or a service pack.
A hotfix resolves one or more specific problems, while a service pack typically contains a
significant number of product fixes. Hotfixes have undergone a quick investigation and
resolution with limited regression testing. However, hotfixes have not gone through the formal
software testing and verification protocol. All hotfixes issued on the eCustomer website
(http://www.crmweb.intergraph.com) are included in the next fully-certified product release
(either a service pack or a full version). When issues occur that require a service pack update,
the update is finalized, announced, and posted to the eCustomer website.
Some Intergraph CAS, Inc. users have expressed concern over tracking, archiving, and
distributing the various update generated between major releases. In order to alleviate this
problem for our users, all service packs for new releases contain all previous service pack
updates. In other words, service pack update Y contains update X. This increases the download
size and time required to obtain the update, but only one update is required at any given time.
How do I find out about software updates?

When a service pack update to the software becomes available, all users who have registered
the software are sent an email announcement. Therefore, it is imperative that you register the
software following installation.
How do I download a software update?

Software updates (builds) are available for download through our Customer Support website,
eCustomer (http://www.crmweb.intergraph.com), and are arranged in sub-folders by program.
Each file contained in the folder includes a description, its size, and the creation date.
Can software updates be applied to any version?

A software update is intended for a specific version of the software. As new versions are
released, additional input items become necessary and must be stored in the program data files.
In addition, file formats change; databases grow, and so on. Applying a software update on a
different version of the software (without specific consent from Intergraph CAS, Inc. personnel)
puts your software integrity at risk.
How do I know what is in a software update?

Each service pack update of the software includes a file named BUILD.TXT. This is an ASCII
text file that can be viewed with any text editor or spooled to a printer. This file contains a
description of all corrections and enhancements that have been made to the software since the
original release of this specific version. When necessary, additional usage instructions are
included in this file.
37
How do I track software updates and versions?

When a new software update is released, the File > Help screen is revised to reflect the build
number. This allows you to see, from the File tab, which build is in use.
Some updates my only change certain modules of your software. To see which program
modules have been modified, you can run the Intergraph CAS, Inc. Program Scanner utility
from within the TANK program folder. By running this utility and reviewing the results, you can
see which modules have been patched or updated and to what build number.
Select the Program Scanner command on the Diagnostics tab. This utility scans each of the
EXE modules in the program directory and lists the size, memory requirements, and build
number for each. The following shows an example of the results the Program Scanner returns.
What do I do with old versions of my software?

When Intergraph CAS, Inc. releases a new version of the software, you should still keep the
distribution DVD or CD from the previous release. Additionally, be sure to archive any builds
obtained with the original DVD or CD. This allows full usage of this version at some later time, if
it becomes necessary.
To reinstall an older version of the software, first install the distribution DVD or CD. Then, install
the latest update. Each update includes the modifications made in all previous updates.
38
SECTION 5
Quick Start
This section provides instructions on how to start TANK. It is assumed that the software has
been properly installed and configured. For more information about configuring TANK, see the
TANK User's Guide.
Starting TANK
Click Start > Intergraph CAS > TANK [version number] > TANK [version number], or you can
double-click the desktop icon
.
The TANK ribbon bar and panels are the control center from which jobs can be selected,
defined, analyzed, and reviewed. For more information, see TANK Interface.
Use the various commands to specify or update the input. After the input has been defined using
the commands on the Input panel, it must be error checked by select Error Check and
Analyze (F12)
on the Analyze panel. The error checker validates the data for numeric
consistency (for example, diameters and thicknesses must be positive), and to enforce API code
requirements (such as thicknesses cannot be less than the course above).
If there are errors in the input data, TANK does not analyze the job. You must correct these
errors before proceeding. The software accepts warning messages and proceeds with the
analysis. However, you should review all warning messages to confirm they are acceptable to
the current tank analysis. For more information, see Check the Input for Errors.
Assuming that error checking completed successfully, TANK begins the analysis of the job.
Once analysis is complete, the software opens the Output Processor so that you can review
the analysis report results.
39

You do not need to re-run the analysis prior to opening the Output Processor, unless
the tank input data changes. You can open and view tanks analysis reports as many times as
necessary to interactively review the results.
When you are finished reviewing the output, exit the Output Processor to return to the main
TANK window.
The steps outlined above are summarized below.
1. Start > Intergraph CAS > TANK [version number] > TANK [version number].
2. Select File > New or File > Open to create a new tank job or to select and use an existing
job.
3. Enter the tank input data.
4. Analyze the input data by selecting Error Check and Analyze (F12) from the Analyze
panel.
TANK checks for any errors in the input and then analyzes the job. When the software
completes the analysis, TANK opens the Output Processor where you can view tank
analysis reports.

TANK Input
The first step in the design or analysis of a tank is to generate an input file, which describes the
characteristics of the tank. Each tank requires an input file with a unique job name for each
configuration to be studied. All of the tank particulars and descriptive information are stored in
this input file. The input file name consists of the job name as the prefix, followed by a .TKI
extension.
Start the input process by selecting File > New or File > Open (and browsing to select an
existing TANK file) and then choosing any option from the Input panel.
TANK separates the input data into logical categories. Each category addresses a specific code
requirement on design task. You must enter tank input data using the General Tank Data
command to save the tank input file. For more information on tank input data commands, see
the Input Panel section in the TANK User's Guide.
As with most software programs, there is an option to save the current state of the input data to
a file. With TANK, you can save the input by using File > Save, or by clicking Save . Save
your input frequently during any extended editing session. When you begin an analysis the
software also saves the data automatically, but it is always best to save the data yourself too.
When you are finished defining the input for your vessel, use the Analyze panel to verify and/or
analyze the job.
For more information, review the other TANK commands in the TANK User's Guide, and then
see Build a Tank Vessel.
