When CSI Software uses a network license, it broadcasts a signal to the network in effort to locate the license server and then retrieve the network license file. You may use the LMHOST.INI file, the LSHOST (no extension) file, or the LSFORCEHOST system environment variable to either help the software locate the license server more quickly, or to resolve problems when the broadcast fails to locate the license server. These options are described as follows:

LMHOST.INI file
Create a text file named LMHOST.INI which lists either the network name, or the IP address of the machine running the License Manager, then save this file to the folder in which the software is installed. This will be the software installation folder unless you are running a network version, in which case it will be the network folder(i.e C: > Program Files….\Computers and Structures > [PRODUCT NAME]) in the local PC. If more than one machine serves licensing, enter each name or IP address on a separate line of text. This file will then speed the time it takes the software to locate the network license.
