3.1.5. Startup Preferences

This tab shows which licenses will be collected when JetStream starts. For each module that is checked,

JetStream will attempt to collect a license, looking first on the local machine for the license and then to

any server that the PC is pointed to. If JetStream can't find a Roamer license either locally or from a

server, then it will warn you of this when the program starts. You will not be advised if any of the plugin

licenses cannot be collected.

This tab is most useful when collecting licenses from the server. If you want to use JetStream but not take

a specific plugin license from the server, simply uncheck the modules you wish to leave for other users.

For example, uncheck the Clash Detective module if you wish to leave this for others. The results of

unchecking boxes in the startup tab don't become apparent until the JetStream application itself is

restarted.

Alternatively, you can create desktop shortcuts that define your startup preferences, thereby enabling you

to collect any combination of JetStream licenses.

If you look at the Properties of the standard JetStream desktop shortcut, the Target by default is pointing

to "C:\Program Files\NavisWorks 5\roamer.exe".

The startup preferences are defined in the shortcut target as a combination of exclusion arguments. For

example, the default (above) has no arguments and therefore excludes no license modules. To exclude a

Clash Detective license (i.e. start JetStream, trying to collect all licenses except Clash Detective), the

shortcut target would be "C:\Program Files\NavisWorks 5\roamer.exe" -nomodule lcodpclash.

The exclusion arguments for each license module are as follows:

• No Publisher license, -nomodule nw_publish

• No Presenter license, -nomodule lcodplw

• No Clash Detective license, -nomodule lcodpclash

• No TimeLiner license, -nomodule lcodptimeliner

Note

Roamer cannot be excluded as this is the base license required to start JetStream and any

combination of its plugins.

Any combination of the above can be added as arguments to the default JetStream shortcut target. You

can copy the default shortcut on your desktop (as many times as necessary), rename it and add

arguments accordingly.

Below is an example of the shortcut for only Roamer:

Target = "C:\Program Files\NavisWorks 5\roamer.exe" -nomodule lcodpclash -nomodule

nw_publish -nomodule lcodplw -nomodule lcodptimeliner

3.2. Reassigning networked licenses to other

clients

If you have run out of networked licenses for all the client PCs that want to claim them from the server,

then you need to delete one or more PC names from the list. To do this:
