How do I obtain a username / password to download the required FLEXNet Manager?  They have options for temporary Demo usernames/passwords, but do these expire the software in a given period of time?  I require a full version of this software for permanent use, do we now have to pay for this new third party license manager? 

Is there a way to post a full version of this required software for download on the telelogic website?

Have you looked at the LMTools utility that is installed with SA?  You can find this utility in the License folder of your SA installation.  If you did a default install of SA it would be located here:

C:\Program Files\Telelogic\System Architect Suite\System Architect\License\lmtools.exe

No I have not looked because I have not installed SA 10.3 yet.  One I have yet to be able to download what I thought was the required third party license manager called FLEXNet, and two I have yet to obtain permanent licenses for 10.3 from Telelogic even though we are current with support.

What is this other tool?  Is it a free version like the limited license manager we have used before?  IS there any documentation on how we install or use this tool?

In SA 10.3 there are two types of licenses: served and unserved (also called counted and uncounted):

1) An unserved license is simply a single user license that is locked to your PC.  The license file will allow one concurrent use of SA and any of the add-on features that you have purchased.  Setting up an unserved license is easy.  When you run the SA install you will be prompted to setup a license.  The license setup dialog gives you three options:

A) Point to a license file
B) Point to a license server
C) Don't setup a license now

If you already have an unserved license file then you can select option A.  Just browse to wherever you have placed your license file.  If you don't yet have a license file then select option C.  When you try to start SA without a license you will get an error alerting you of this.  At the bottom of this error dialog is a link to launch the Telelogic Client License Setup Utility.  This is a wizard that you can use to setup a license file for the various Telelogic products.  You can also launch this wizard at anytime from the Telelogic | System Architect group on your start menu.

The important thing to note with an unserved license is that you DO NOT need any license management tools (LMTools).  Once you have your license setup, either during the install or afterwards with the Telelogic Client License Setup Utility, you will be good to go.

2) A served license is needed to support multiple users.  For instance, a served license may support 10 concurrent users of SA with 3 concurrent users of the SA Simulator II add-on feature.  We call it a served license because a license service is needed to keep track of which users are using which features.  Setting up a served license is slightly more involved than an unserved license and this is where the license management utility LMTools comes into play.  Basically LMTools is used to create, start, and stop the Telelogic License Server.  It can also be used to report on which features are currently in use and by whom.

As I said LMTools is installed with SA but I also believe it is available along with documentation on how to use it on our support website.  I'll have to look into this more.  Once you have the Telelogic license server setup individuals can point at the license server by using methods B (install time) and C (Client License Setup Utility) detailed above.  In both cases you reference a license server as <port>@<server-computer-name>.

With both served and unserved licenses you must have a license file.  So where do you get this license file from?  You should contact your sales rep or if you are in the ffice:smarttags" />lace>USlace> send an email to 
license.us@telelogic.com.

Hope this helps,

We will have to use the second option which you call a "served" license, as we have multiple users and currently use this setup with v10.0. 

I am assuming that we can use the installed LM tools with SA and do not need to download and thus pay for the FLEXNet manager? 

I am trying to get in contact with my sales rep. to obtain permanent 10.3 licenses, and can attempt this install after I get that valid license file.

As far as I know you should never have to pay for the FlexNet management tool.  After installing SA you can find LMTools.exe in the License folder (e.g. - <Program Files>\Telelogic\System Architect Suite\System Architect\License.
