This page of the Wiki is relevant to people with a TUFLOW Network Software Lock licence.
<ol>
<li> Download the latest executable and manual from the Downloads page of the [https://www.tuflow.com/downloads/ TUFLOW website]. 
<li> [[Wibu_Dongles| Install Licencing Dongle Drivers (CodeMeter RunTime Kit)]] on the Network Host computer. 
Note: The Network Host does not need to be a server. It can be a standard computer connected to the Local Area Network of your company. If this is the case, make sure the Host computer remains on at all times and the computer is assigned a static IP address.
<li> Obtain your software lock licence file from sales@tuflow.com by following these steps: [[WIBU_Software_Licence_Update_Request| Request Licence File]].
<li> [[WIBU_Licence_Update_Softlock_Import| Import the licence]] to the Network Host computer.
<li> [[WIBU_Configure_Network_Server_2016| Configure Network Host]] so other (Client) computers can use its available licence(s).
<li> [[Wibu_Dongles| Install Licencing Dongle Drivers (CodeMeter RunTime Kit)]] on all Client computers wishing to access licences from the Network Host.
<li> [[WIBU_Configure_Network_Client_2016 | Configure Access]] to the Network licences on all Client computers.
<li> Double click the TUFLOW Executable (for example TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe) from the Network Host computer. A DOS window should open. Review the licence information listed. Check the licence types and numbers associated with your configuration (the licence types and numbers will be different to the example shown below). 
[[File:TUFLOW_DOS_Test1.JPG|600px]] 
Note: TUFLOW licences are associated with the USB dongle. The Licence Update Request and Import steps listed above should only be required once annually to provide access to new major releases of the software (unless licence configuration changes are requested).
<li> Double click the TUFLOW Executable (for example TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe) from the Client computer. A DOS window should open. Review the licence information listed (example shown above). Check the licence types and numbers. If a licence has not been found, the connection between the client computer and network host has not been successful. Return to step 4 above and work through the configuration steps again.
