Flex LM Licensing

Theorem software is protected by FlexLm licensing software. You will need to have a license cut for your machine in order for TPM and CADVerter to function.

Please download the Theorem Composite Generator from this link. 

Requesting a Theorem License

•Once downloaded, please extract the contents of the zip file

•Run the “theorem_composite.exe” application in a command prompt.

•You are presented with information that identifies your machine for FlexLm licensing.

•Email your Theorem support representative to request licenses for the “Theorem Experience Server”, TPM and any CADverters you require. Provide the “Host Name”, “Flexlm ID” and “Host ID” values.

oWe recommend redirecting this output to a txt file and sending this file to us. You can do this by typing the following syntax:
