Silently Set Local or Network License for PSCAD

For lock-based licensing, the license host (locally on PSCAD machine or network on a server) is normally set within the PSCAD application, as shown:

  • For PSCAD v5.0:

  • For PSCAD v4.6.3:

To set this silently, this may be done in the Registry Editor:

Enter the host location, followed by a space, followed by 2053.

  • If the license is hosted on the PSCAD client machine, then enter localhost 2053. For example:

  • If the license is hostedon a server machine, then enter the server name, then a space, then 2053. For example, if the server was named PSCADServer1:
