Standalone licenses
Option 1 - using level.txt
Create a level.txt file which lists only the program level on the first line, then save this file to the folder in which the software is installed. This file, included when a new license is sent, will speed the time it takes the software to locate the license. Please refer to the level.txt article for additional information.
Option 2 - using command line option
As an alternative to using the level.txt file, the program level can be specified as a command-line option. To do so, create a shortcut that points to the SAP2000.exe file in the installation folder by running the Windows Run command, then by adding "/L [Program Level]" (in which [Program Level] is one of the options listed in the previous section) to the command line after "SAP2000.exe" such that the entry reads: "SAP2000.exe/L [Program Level]". Specification of program level on the command line will supersede that in the level.txt file.

Network license
Create a text file named lmhost.ini as described in the Network license lookup article, then save this file to the folder in which the software is installed.
