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.
Option 2 - using shortcuts
As an alternative to using the lmhost.ini file, or to assist with selecting a specified program level when pulling a network license, customized shortcuts can be created. This allows multiple shortcuts to be created, each specifying a different program level. To do so, create a shortcut that points to the SAP2000.exe file in the installation folder by right-clicking on the executable file and selecting "Create Shortcut". Right click on the shortcut and select "Properties". Edit the "Target" location by adding: /L [Program Level] (where [Program Level] is the level name such as "Plus" or "Advance"). The "Target" line for ETABS 2013 would read as follows: "...Computers and Structures\ETABS 2013\ETABS.exe" /L Plus
Specification of program level on the shortcut will supersede that in the level.txt file. Please note that when creating multiple shortcuts, shortcut names can be edited for the convenience of identifying which shortcut launches which program level.
