Installation Procedure


The flowchart below shows the basic steps of the installation procedure.

Figure 2 : Flowchart for installation

Important!

If you have not received a FlexNet license key you will not be able to start SDL Suite and TTCN Suite after the installation is performed. Please see below for information on how to obtain the license key.

How to obtain a license key

To obtain a license key you have to provide IBM Rational Customer Support with the hostname and hostID of the machine on which the license server will run. To obtain this information:

  1. Log in on the license server machine.
  2. Insert the SDL Suite and TTCN Suite CD-ROM.
  3. Change directory to the flex directory on the CD-ROM, and execute the batch file called lmhostid.bat. One of the Ethernet addresses should be used as hostid.
  4. Alternatively start the FlexNet utility called lmtools.exe; select the System Settings tab.
    • If you want the license to be locked to your network card, note the 12-character hex code in the Ethernet Address field.
      (example: "00abcde12345").
    • Use the 14-character code in the FLEXID field of lmtools (example: "8-5E700060F63D"). Lmtools is also included on the CD-ROM. The FLEXID can also be read on the dongle.
      For information on how to install the dongle, see Installing the FLEXID dongle and drivers.

  1. EMAIL or FAX this information to IBM Rational Customer Support.

For contact information, see How to Contact Customer Support.

When you have obtained a FlexNet license key, you can complete the entire installation and run SDL Suite and TTCN Suite.

Log On as Administrator

To install on Windows 2000/XP, you do not need to be logged on as the Administrator, but your login ID must be a member of the local or domain Administrators group.

Mounting the CD-ROM

Installing SDL Suite and TTCN Suite

An installation utility, SETUP.EXE, is enclosed in the distribution.

The installation files for SDL Suite and TTCN Suite are compressed and require the installation utility to be run. You will only be able to run the installation using SETUP.EXE.

Installation Steps

Perform all the steps below:

  1. Start your Windows environment. Be sure you have Administrators privileges.
  2. Exit all running Windows programs.

Note: Starting the installation script

The instructions below describe how to start the installation script from the Windows Start menu. The script can also be started from the installation CD HTML interface. In that case, click the Install on Windows link on the Installation page and proceed with step 5 below.

  1. From the Windows Start menu, select Run.
  2. In the dialog that appears, specify:
    D:\sdl_ttcn\setup.exe
    and press <Return>. A welcome screen is opened.
  3. Click Next to continue the setup.
  4. Click Yes to accept the software license agreement.
  5. Select the installation directory. The default installation directory is:
    C:\IBM\Rational\SDL_TTCN_Suite6.3
    where `C' is the local hard drive on which Windows is installed. You may also change to a network drive to perform a single network installation for all users on your network.
  6. Click on Next to select the Setup Type:
    • Typical installation will install all SDL Suite and TTCN Suite files, including the Help files.
    • Compact installation will install SDL Suite and TTCN Suite files, excluding example files and on-line help files.
    • Custom installation enables you to choose components to install.
      If you want to add components to your installation, use the Custom installation. See Adding Components to an Existing Installation.
  7. Select an option and click Next. The disk space requirements and which files to install before proceeding are determined. If you have chosen the Custom installation, select which components to install (see Installation Options for more information).
  8. Specify the program folder where the program shortcuts are to be placed.
  9. Click Next. Setup will now install the selected files, create shortcuts and update the registry.
  10. If not already defined, you will be asked for the license server and port number used. This information is found on the first line of the FlexNet license key.
    If you have not received the license key, you can later add the license server and the port number to the file license.dat in the installation directory.
  11. Click Finish.

The installation of the SDL Suite and the TTCN Suite is now completed.

Installing the FLEXID dongle and drivers

If you are using a dongle continue with the following steps.

  1. Turn off the computer.
  2. Find the parallel port or the USB port on the back of the computer and plug in the dongle.
  3. Turn on the computer.
  4. To install the drivers run FLEXidInstaller.exe located in in the flexid directory on the CD-ROM.

Installing a C Compiler

You must also install a C compiler to be able to use certain features of the SDL Suite and TTCN Suite, such as Simulation and code generation. How to install a C compiler is described in the compiler documentation.

For information on which C compiler you need, see The SDL Suite Compiler Environment and The TTCN Suite Compiler Environment.
