InfoWorks ICM Agent Manager (Remote Simulations) Any machine performing simulations requires access to an available InfoWorks ICM Engine licence. The Workgroup Environment allows InfoWorks ICM to send sim jobs to remote machines for simulation. InfoWorks ICM Remote Agent Manager is required to be installed on each machine. This application will perform these remote simulations. The product licence settings contained within the Agent Manager, need to be configured to obtain an engine licence, at the point at which a simulation.

The Agent Manager can be installed on its own or is already installed alongside InfoWorks ICM

1. On each machine that will perform remote simulations. Open the Innovyze InfoWorks ICM Agent Manager (this requires administrator rights)

13

2. Stop the service and ensure “Act as Remote Agent, using licence:” checkbox is checked and complete the licence settings.

3. The Thales Licence settings as follows

• Licence Type: Thales

• Computer Name or IP Address:

• Floating licence: hostname or IP Address of the machine hosting your Thales Floating Licences.

• Fixed Licence: NO-NET

• Engine Size: Select the InfoWorks ICM Engine size that you have in your possession. You might have to check the ILA to see what engine sizes are available in your possession.

Finally apply the changes and start the Agent Manager service.

Offline use (commute/check out) Floating licences can be commuted (checked out) to the end user PC for offline use. This is useful in situations where the user will require use of the product licences in areas where there is little or no network connectivity. The commuted floating licence will remain on the PC and can only be checked out for a maximum of 30 days. When the commute time reaches its expiry, it will automatically return it back to the original pool of floating licences that resides on the server.

Please note that commuted licences cannot be used on virtual machines.

To use a commuted licence. This a two-stage process

1. Check out the floating licences from the server via the ILA

2. Configure InfoWorks ICM to use a commuted licence
