Thermolib – Installation Guide 2 Installation of the Thermolib Library


2 INSTALLATION OF THE THERMOLIB LIBRARY

Close all Windows applications and perform the following steps:

Step 1: Log on to the computer with administrator rights.

a) Installation from CD-ROM

Insert the Thermolib CD-ROM. If the Thermolib setup does not start

automatically, you must manually execute the program “Thermolib-Setup-

5.4.x.y.exe” found on the CD.

b) Installation from a Zip-file

Unzip the Zip-file to a temporary folder. From there, execute the program

“Thermolib-Setup-5.4.x.y.exe”.

Step 2: The installer starts with the welcome dialog.

Click on the button “Next” to proceed.



Step 3: Read the License Agreement.

Select “I agree” and continue by clicking on the “Next” button, or abort the

installation by choosing “Cancel”.

Step 4: Enter the name of the licensee and, if applicable, the company’s name. Click on

“Next”.



Step 5: Select the destination folder for the Thermolib and click “Next”.

Step 6: Select the License Manager you want to use.

By default we deliver Thermolib with a CodeMeter License Manager, so if you do

not know which type of protection to choose it’s save to choose “CodeMeter”. We

deliver WibuKey protection only for compatibility issues on demand (for details

about the License Managers see chapter 3).

If you have an older Thermolib version already installed, then you can use the

third option. Then the installation of CodeMeter or WibuKey is skipped. You can



run CodeMeterRuntime.exe from installation source to do the installation of

CodeMeter manually after installing Thermolib.

In case you select "WibuKey", then Step 8 and 9 are skipped.

Step 8: Start the installer by clicking “Next”.



Step 9: The Installer will now copy all files to the destination folder. Do not interrupt or

cancel this process.

Step 10: The Thermolib has now been successfully installed. Exit the installation program

by clicking on “Finish”.

When the Thermolib installation finished, automatically the installation of the

License Manager is started (according to your choice of the protection system).

For details about License Manager installation see chapter 3.

Once the installation of the License Manager is done, the License Activation

Wizard automatically starts. See how to activate your license in chapter 4.





Step 11: To use Thermolib in MATLAB your MATLAB installation has to be informed about

Thermolib. Start your MATLAB version and go to “Bin” folder of the Thermolib

installation directory.

Step 12: Run the “Thermolib_Setup” from MATLAB Command Line



Step 13: Now you can decide if the Thermolib paths should be saved permanently (that

you can use Thermolib the next time without starting Thermolib_Setup), or you

just want to enable the Thermolib paths for this MATLAB session (then you have

to re-run “Thermolib_Setup” the next time you start MATLAB.

We recommend to save the settings permanently.

Note: If you have multiple MATLAB versions installed on your computer, the

Thermolib paths will be added only to the MATLAB paths of the currently started

MATLAB installation. Repeat steps 12 to 14 for all MATLAB installations you want

to use with Thermolib.

If you want to use multiple Thermolib installations with one MATLAB installation,

then you MUST make sure, that only one of the Thermolib installations is in the

MATLAB path at a time. To do this, we recommend to create shortcuts with the

following command in the MATLAB shortcut line:

cd('c:\Program Files (x86)\EUtech SE\Thermolib\5.4.0\Bin');

Thermolib_Setup('ShowDialog','off','SavePaths','off')

cd ..

This makes sure, that the dialog is suppressed and the paths are not saved when

clicking on the shortcut.

Step 14: Congratulations. Now you are ready to use Thermolib.





Start your Simulink browser and see which blocks are provided with Thermolib.

We recommend “Thermolib/Components” as a good starting point.

Step 15: For further information on how to use the Thermolib library, please refer to

Thermolib-GettingStarted.pdf.

Thermolib – Installation Guide 3 Installation of License Manager


3 INSTALLATION OF LICENSE MANAGER

Thermolib can be licensed either to an individual or for use as a concurrent license:

Individual License

The Individual License permits a single, named user to install Thermolib. The library

may be installed on one or more standalone computers (for example, at work and at

home), provided that the products are only accessible to, and operated by, that single

named user.

Concurrent License

The Concurrent License permits Thermolib to be installed in a central location on a

single designated network server. The licensee is allowed to have only as many

licensed users simultaneously operating the library at any given time as is specified in

the license acquired.

For an individual license, the license key has to be plugged into the computer on which the

Thermolib library is to be installed. For a concurrent license, the license key has to be

installed on one of the network’s computers. This does not necessarily have to be the

server.

Individual License Concurrent License

There are two License Managers

CodeMeter (default, using USB dongle or software protection)

WibuKey (using USB dongle)

CodeMeter is the default License Manager. You can use the License Manager “CodeMeter”

with a USB dongle or with software protection. We deliver WibuKey only on demand in case

of compatibility issues. Depending on the license you have purchased and the License

Manager you are using refer to one of the following sections:

3.1: “CodeMeter Installation for an Individual License”

3.2: “CodeMeter Installation for a Network License”



accordingly.

3.1 CODEMETER INSTALLATION FOR AN INDIVIDUAL LICENSE

In order to configure the Code Meter, the CMCC (Code Meter Control Center) has to be

installed.

Step 0: Insert the Code Meter into a free USB port at the computer onto which the

Thermolib should be installed.

Step 1: The installation is started automatically after Thermolib installation. Note, that

the installation of the CodeMeter Runtime needs administrator privileges.

Step 2: Read the license agreement, accept if willing, and click the “Next” button.



Step 3: Enter your name and organization, and click “Next”.

Step 4: Start the installation by clicking on “Next”.

After installation is complete, the Code Meter icon (typically green or gray) will

be shown in the taskbar:



Step 5: Double-click the Code Meter icon in the taskbar to open the CMCC (Code Meter

Control Center).

Step 6: Click on the WebAdmin button to open the web-based dialog in your browser.



Languages can be selected in the “Configuration | WebAdmin” menu:

Step 7: If not already there, change to the menu “Content | CM-Stick”.

Verify and set the correct time (using the “Update” button).

Step 8: Change to the menu “Content | Licenses”. The available licenses are shown here.

The product code for an Individual and Concurrent License of Thermolib is

10530000. The last column shows the number of available licenses in case of

network licenses and "local" in case of individual licenses.



3.2 CODEMETER INSTALLATION FOR A NETWORK LICENSE

3.2.1 Code Meter server

The following steps must be performed on the network computer where the Code Meter will

be plugged in. This computer will act as the Code Meter server.


Steps 0-8: Perform steps 0 through 8 as explained in section 3.1: “CodeMeter

Installation for an Individual License”.

Step S1: In the CMCC (Code Meter Control Center) select the menu “Configuration |

Network”. Activate the checkbox “Run Network Server” to start the Code Meter

service. Make sure that the network port stated in this menu is accessible within

your LAN and is not blocked. Should you have questions or problems, contact

your network administrator.

Depending on your version of Windows, it might be necessary to restart your

computer. In this case, repeat steps 5 and 6 after restarting to open the

WebAdmin again. The checkbox should be still selected. Note the IP address of

this computer.



3.2.2 Code Meter clients

On each computer of your network where the Thermolib library will be installed, the

following steps must be performed to set up the computer as a Code Meter client. A Code

Meter client will connect to the Code Meter server, which manages the licenses.


Steps 0-6: Repeat steps 0 through 6 as explained in section 3.1: “CodeMeter Installation

for an Individual License”. This will install the Runtime environment for the Code

Meter and open the WebAdmin window.

Step C1: The following screen should appear. Please note: the Code Meter shall remain in

the Code Meter server, therefore, no Code Meter can be available at this

moment.

Select the menu “Configuration | Network” as in step S1.

Add the IP address as shown in step S1: Click the add button, enter the IP

address, close the window by clicking on “OK” and confirm your changes with

“Apply”.

IMPORTANT: If you do not apply the new settings by clicking the “Apply” button,

the IP address will not be set permanently.

Thermolib – Installation Guide 5 Unattended Installation/Uninstallation


5 UNATTENDED INSTALLATION/UNINSTALLATION

Thermolib starting from release 5.0.x.y supports unattended installation and uninstallation.

To perform an unattended installation or uninstallation you have to install / uninstall the two

parts "Thermolib" and "LicenseManager" separately. License activation is typically not

applicable as network licenses using USB License Dongles are used in such environments.

5.1 UNATTENDED INSTALLATION

5.1.1 Thermolib

For unattended installation of Thermolib you need an ini-file. The ini-File must have the

following syntax:

%AppFolder%

This is the path where Thermolib should be installed.

%ProtectionType%

This is your protection type. Here please choose option “Already Installed”. The installation

of license manager CodeMeter or WibuKey has to be started separately if you want to run

unattended installation.

%UserName%

Your name

%UserCompany%

The name of your company

[SetupValues]

%AppFolder%="C:\Programme\EUtech SE\Thermolib\5.4.0"

%ProtectionType%="Already Installed"

%UserName%="UserName"

%UserCompany%="CompanyName"

%VersionPatch%="false"

%OnlineActivation%="Off"

%TimestampAutoUpdate%="Off"



%VersionPatch%

Not in use for Release 5.4.0.x.

%OnlineActivation%

Corresponds to the checkbox of running online activation automatically after installation. For

unattended installation this should be set to "Off".

%TimestampAutoUpdate%

Set this option to "Off" if you want to run unattended installation. After installation of

CodeMeter runtime system you can set the registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WIBU-

SYSTEMS\CodeMeter\Server\CurrentVersion\Backup\UpdateCertifiedTime" to 1 to have the

same effect as setting the corresponding checkbox in the installation wizard.

To install the Thermolib you have to use the command

Thermolib-Setup-5.4.0.x.exe "/S:full/path/to/Setup.ini"

from windows command line.

Note that you have to run "\bin\Thermolib_Setup.m" from within each MATLAB installation

in which you want to use Thermolib to add the Thermolib folders to the MATLAB path. See

user manual for options of Thermolib_Setup to avoid user interaction.

5.1.2 CodeMeter Runtime

To perform unattended install of CodeMeter runtime you have to use the command

CodeMeterRuntime.exe /q

The installation will start with default settings. For more options check

"CodeMeterRuntime.exe /?".

5.2 UNINSTALLATION

To uninstall Thermolib use the uninstall command together with the xml file located in

"Uninstall" subfolder. To enable the uninstall program to delete itself and the Thermolib

folder, start the uninstall command from outside of this directory, e. g.:

"C:\Program Files\EUtech SE\Thermolib\5.4.0.x\uninstall.exe"

"/U:C:\Program Files\EUtech

SE\Thermolib\5.4.0.x\Uninstall\uninstall.xml"

Adapt the paths to your installation location (variable %AppFolder% from ini-file).



Please make sure, that you are not in one of the directories you want to delete.

To uninstall CodeMeterRuntime use the command

CodeMeterRuntime.exe /x /q
