How do I install my node locked license?

First, obtain your license from the ARM web licensing portal.  Save the license file as "license.dat" and place it into "C:\Program Files\ARM" (or wherever you chose to install the tools).

Next, follow the instructions below appropriate for the ARM development tools license that you are installing.

1. Users of RVDS 2.2 or later

   ARM recommends that you use the License Wizard v4.x, installed with your tools, to configure your licenses.  This will configure the ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE  environment variable.  You can start the License Wizard from the Windows Start menu, for example:  Start -> Programs -> ARM -> License Wizard v4.x.
   
   For details on how to use the ARM License Wizard, refer to section 3.1.1 of the ARM FLEXnet License Management Guide.

2. Users of older ARM development tools
   

   Create a new, or modify an existing, Windows environment variable called ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE to point to   C:\Program Files\ARM\license.dat (or the equivalent full path to your license file). In most versions of Windows you can do this via Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables.
