Key Notes:

1. You must have Administrator Privileges in order to properly install StressCheck.

2. Run the default.htm to install StressCheck. You will be guided through the steps necessary to install StressCheck on your computer. You must log in to an Administrator account at least once after rebooting before logging in to a user account.

3. StressCheck offers the following installation options:

a. Desktop – install all StressCheck files to be used exclusively on the current machine running Windows XP or Windows Vista.

b. License Server – install only components necessary to allow the system to act as a license server for StressCheck (not a file server). No other StressCheck installation files will be put on the system.

4. All optional StressCheck features are installed by default including the CAD translators. You can reduce the amount of disk space used by StressCheck without limiting availability of features by performing a Custom installation and not selecting CAD translators for which you do not have licenses.

5. Before you can run StressCheck, you must request a license file. First, obtain your HostID by selecting the link “Get Your System HostID to License This Computer to Run StressCheck 9.0”. Send the resulting text file to your sales representative (support@esrd.com) to obtain a license file.

License Server for Floating Licenses

StressCheck uses the FLEXnet license manager from Acresso. If you are already using FLEXnet to manage licenses for other applications, you may simply append the license keys provided by ESRD, into your standard FLEXnet license file (usually license.dat). Alternatively, you may maintain separate license files for each application. For additional details concerning license serving options, consult the FLEXnet documentation found in the /StressCheck9/flexuser directory.

If you are serving concurrent (floating) licenses, you should study “Installing a License Server for StressCheck 9.0 Floating Licenses” in the StressCheck Installation Guide.
