1.Click Start, point to All Programs, point to CloudNine LAW, and then click Profile Manager.

2.Click Advanced.

A prompt to enter an administrative password appears. The password is stored at a workstation level, meaning each computer on which LAW is launched, whether running locally or in a client/server configuration, will prompt for a password when executed initially.

3.In the Enter Admin Password dialog box, type a case-sensitive password that is at least 6 characters long and then type it again to confirm.

4.Click OK.

To change the password on a computer:

1.Click Start, point to All Programs, point to CloudNine LAW, and then click Profile Manager.

2.Click Advanced.

If you are not in administrative mode, the Enter Password dialog box appears.

3.Type the current administrative password and then click OK.

4.On the Tools menu, click Change Administrative Password.

5.In the Enter new password field, type a case-sensitive password that is at least 6 characters long, and then type it again in the Confirm Password field.

6.Click OK.

If you were issued a temporary LAW license key, the license needs to be entered directly into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Law50\law50.ini to access CloudNine LAW.

Once you obtain a full LAW license key, then remove the license from C:\Program Files (x86)\Law50\law50.ini and save the file.  CloudNine LAW will then use the license server configured in the LAW Configuration Utility.

When a temporary license is in use, the LAW Profile Manager dialog box is not displayed when starting the LAW application.

1.Setting the license server in Configure Environment in the LAW Configuration Utility needs to be done prior to launching LAW.  

If a valid license server computer name has been entered, the LAW Profile Manager dialog box opens.

If a license key is not found on the specified server, a message will appear stating that the key was not found and will ask to try another server. If this happens click Yes, and then follow the prompts to change the license server.

Each time you start LAW, instead of selecting licenses singly, you can load a license profile.

1.Start the LAW Profile Manager.

2.Check out licenses by means of a license profile by selecting one of the following:

•<Any Available Licenses> Checks out one of each available license. These licenses will not be available to other workstations using the same license key.

•<Custom> You can check out specific licenses based on their tasks. For example, if you need to scan documents, you can select just the Scan license. Click OK to open the list of licenses.

•User defined. Any user-defined license profile is listed below the two system profiles. To create a user-defined license profile, see the To create custom profiles section in this topic.

3.Select the licenses needed for the session and then click OK.

Only the selected licenses are checked out and available on that workstation. If one or more license modules cannot be checked out, a message box appears stating which licenses could not be acquired. This message will not appear if the CD Publishing license could not be acquired.

1.Start the LAW Profile Manager.

2.Click Add.

If the Add button is grayed out, switch to administrative mode to enable it. On the File menu, click Switch to Administrative Mode and then enter and confirm the password, click OK twice and then click Add.

3.In the Add New Profile dialog box type the name of the new profile and a description.

4.Select the licenses to include in the profile.

5.To set this profile as the default profile for the current user, select Default Profile.

6.Click OK.

The new license profile is displayed in the LAW Profile Manager dialog box. If selected as the default profile, it is automatically highlighted.

7.To automatically check out licenses and bypass the LAW Profile Manager, select the profile as the default profile. Then deselect Prompt for profile when starting LAW in the LAW Profile Manager dialog box.

Hiding a profile can be useful to safeguard against inadvertently selecting the wrong profile. For example, the LAW Profile Manager populates the Profiles area with two system profiles <Any Available Licenses>, and <Custom>. To prevent users from checking out more licenses than needed, these profiles may be hidden.

1.Start the LAW Profile Manager.

2.Click File, and then click Switch to Administrative Mode. Enter the administrative password, click OK, and then OK again.

3.Right-click the system profile to hide and then click Hide System Profile.

•Right-click anywhere in the Profile area and then click Restore Hidden Profiles.

You must switch the LAW Profile Manager to administrative mode before you can perform several administrative functions, such as working with licenses and working with profiles.

One way to switch to administrative mode is to start the LAW Profile Manager, and then, on the File menu, click Switch to Administrative Mode and then type the administrator password. Alternatively, there are many features that require you to provide the administrator password before continuing. Switching to administrative mode enables you to:

•Add, edit, and delete profiles.

•Refresh licenses to add any newly purchased licenses to the software product key.

•Enter the advanced view of the LAW Profile Manager.

•Hide/restore system profiles.

6.Use the following menu commands to configure the administrative mode of the LAW Profile Manager:

Concurrent user licenses are only available with hardware key licensing.

The total number of user licenses controls the total number of users that may work concurrently in LAW and/or Explore. Concurrent licensing means that users can run CloudNine LAW and/or CloudNine Explore using any combination of licenses, at the same time. For example, if a key contains 10 concurrent user licenses, and 3 workstations are currently logged into CloudNine LAW, then 7 concurrent user licenses will be available at that time.

In the License Servers tree, the serial number of the license server key is listed with two numbers in parentheses beside it. These two numbers reflect concurrent user license counts.

The first number indicates the number of concurrent licenses in use.

The second number indicates the total number of concurrent licenses contained on the server key.

For example, the "5" in (5/20) means that LAW is running on 5 computers. The "20" means that there is a total of 20 concurrent licenses on the key. In this example, you could conclude that concurrent user licenses are still available.

The amount of concurrent user licenses that you may work with depends on a number of factors. If more are needed, contact CloudNine.

The Refresh License(s) from Internet feature in the LAW Profile Manager is only available with hardware key licensing. The instructions in this procedure apply only after you have purchased additional licenses from CloudNine sales and a sales representative has updated the license counts.

1. Log in to a computer designated as a license server.

2. Start the LAW Profile Manager.

3. Click File and then click Switch to Administrative Mode.

   File menu in the LAW Profile Manager dialog box

   The Enter Password dialog box appears.

4. Type the administrative password and then click OK.

   Clicking OK opens the Successfully switched to administrative mode message.

5. Click OK.

6. On the File menu click Refresh License(s) from Internet.

   The key will be updated with the new license counts.

To avoid closing LAW and launching the LAW Profile Manager in order to change the selection of license modules, licenses can be checked out and released from within the LAW application.

1.In LAW on the Help menu, click About CloudNine LAW, and then click Licenses.

The License Information dialog box appears.

In the Active Key area, the Server Name field displays the license server name. The Serial No. field displays SOFTWARE LICENSE for software key licensing and the product key expiration date(s) (if applicable).

The Licenses area displays the LAW licenses. When a license's check box is selected, it means the license is currently checked out. If a license name is grayed out, the product key does not contain this license.  

2.Perform one of the following:

•To acquire a license, select the license's check box. A message box will appear indicating whether license acquisition was successful.

•To release a license, clear the license's check box. No message box will appear.
