How do I extract an MSP file?
This topic applies only to Windows platforms. A Microsoft Patch (MSP) file is
usually contained in a Service Pack executable that you download from the
Support website for your product. To extract the MSP file from the executable,
run the patch program from the Windows command prompt using the /e
switch. The syntax is as follows:
<local_drive:>\<patch_name>.exe /e <local_drive:>\<patch_name>.msp
Pay particular attention to the location where the files are extracted. For details
about using the patch file, review the Readme file for the patch.
How should I configure a network license server for a
firewall?
If you have a firewall between the license server(s) and the client computers,
you need to open some TCP/IP ports on the server for license-related
communication. Open port 2080 for adskflex, and open ports 27000 through
27009 for lmgrd.
Uninstall and Maintenance Questions
How can I see what is included in a default installation?
Follow the installation process to the Configure Installation page. The products
selected here are installed in a default installation. If you click a selected
product to open the configuration panel, you can see the default settings for
subcomponents and features.
Is it possible to change the installation folder when
adding or removing features?
After your product is installed, you cannot change the installation path.
Changing the path while adding features results in program corruption, so it
is not an option.
