It is possible to install the network version of MapleSim Insight using an unattended mode option. There are two ways to perform an unattended installation of MapleSim Insight:
You can run an unattended installation without an option file by specifying the installation options directly in the command line. To run the unattended installation this way, do the following:
You can create your own options.txt file using the following example as a template:
mode=unattended
installdir=C:\Program Files\MapleSim Insight 2024
defaultapp=1
desktopshortcut=1
licenseType=network
serverName=myServerName
portNumber=27000
Note: If you created your option file in a directory other than the directory in which the MapleSimInsight2024.1WindowsX64Installer.exe file is located, you must specify the path to the option file when you run this command.

Before starting the Windows Network version of MapleSim Insight 2024, you must obtain your license file and start the license manager by completing the following tasks.
Network licenses for MapleSim Insight and other Maplesoft products are registered using the Network Tools program.
MapleSim Insight 2024 requires a MapleSim Insight 2024 license file to operate. License files for earlier versions of MapleSim Insight do not work with MapleSim Insight 2024. To obtain your license file, you must use the Maple Network Tools activation program or activate off-line by following the instructions at http://www.maplesoft.com/contact/webforms/offlineactivation/. Ensure that you can connect to the Internet as activation requires an Internet connection. If your computer does not have an Internet connection, please contact Maplesoft customer service.
The C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\FLEXlm\11.13.1.2\windows directory contains license manager daemons (lmgrd and maplelmg) required to run MapleSim Insight, as well as utilities to assist you in installing and configuring FlexNet Publisher for your system.
If you intend to use a Novell® server, see Novell Networks.
To set up and start the license manager daemons on a Windows Network Server:
Service Name | Enter a name for the service (optional) |
Path to the lmgrd.exe file | C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\FLEXlm\11.13.1.2\windows\lmgrd.exe |
Path to the license file | C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\activate\MapleSimInsight2024.lic |
Path to the debug log file: Enter the path to the directory containing the debug log file. You must create this file manually (log.txt is the manually created file in the example below), as it is not automatically generated. | C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\FLEXlm\11.13.1.2\windows\log.txt |
You can now use MapleSim Insight 2024.
To run multiple Maplesoft products (including MapleSim Insight), you must place all license files in the same directory. If you have other FlexNet Publisher license files stored in one central location, you can store your Maplesoft product license files there as well.
Complete the following tasks:
Using Windows Explorer, move all of the license files to a common directory, for example, C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\activate.
Service Name | Enter a name for the service (optional) |
Path to the lmgrd.exe file | C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\FLEXlm\11.13.1.2\windows\lmgrd.exe |
Path to the license file Note: The path to the license file should not contain a terminating backslash | C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\activate |
Path to the debug log file: Enter the path to the directory containing the debug log file. You must create this file manually (log.txt is the manually created file in the example below), as it is not automatically generated. | C:\Program Files\Maple Network Tools\FLEXlm\11.13.1.2\windows\log.txt |
You can now use your network licensed Maplesoft products.
FlexNet Publisher does not run on Novell or IPX/SPX. Follow these instructions to install the license manager on any network that is exclusively a Novell environment.

Before starting the Linux Network version of MapleSim Insight 2024, you must obtain your license file and start the license manager by completing the following tasks.
Network licenses for MapleSim Insight and other Maplesoft products are registered using the Network Tools program.
MapleSim Insight 2024 requires a MapleSim Insight 2024 license file to operate. License files for earlier versions of MapleSim Insight do not work with MapleSim Insight 2024. To obtain your license file, you must use the Maple Network Tools activation program or activate off-line by following the instructions at http://www.maplesoft.com/contact/webforms/offlineactivation/. Ensure that you can connect to the Internet as activation requires an Internet connection. If your computer does not have an Internet connection, please contact Maplesoft customer service.
Before you can use MapleSim Insight 2024, you must start the license server. It is recommended that you do not run lmgrd as root because any process run by root is a potential security risk.
Using the C Shell
To start the license manager daemon (lmgrd), enter the following command at the prompt,
./lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log & |
where license_file_path is the full path and filename of the network license file (by default, $HOME/MapleNetworkTools/activate/MapleSimInsight2024.lic) and debug_log is the name of a file to which debugging information is written. The -l option (letter l, not the number 1 (one)) creates the file.
Using the Korn or Bourne Shell
To start the license manager daemon (lmgrd), enter the following command at the prompt:
nohup lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log 2>&1 & |
Run Daemons on Startup
To have the daemons run on startup, edit the appropriate boot script (such as /etc/rc.boot, /etc/rc.local, or /etc/rc2.d/Sxxxx). For example, if you run lmgrd as a boot startup script, you can run it as a regular user by using the following su command at the prompt:
su username -c \'umask 022; lmgrd_path -c license_file_path -l log_path\' |
where username is a non-privileged user; lmgrd_path is the correct path to the lmgrd file, license_file_path is the full path of the network license file (by default, $HOME/MapleNetworkTools/activate/MapleSimInsight2024.lic), and log_path is the debug log file path. It is recommended that the network license file be called MapleSimInsight2024.lic.
Help for Starting the License Server
If you have any problems starting the license server in the UNIX system boot up files, refer to http://www.flexerasoftware.com/.
You can now use MapleSim Insight 2024.
To run multiple Maplesoft products (including MapleSim Insight), you must place all license files in the same directory. If you have other FlexNet Publisher license files stored in one central location, you can store Maplesoft product license files there as well.
Complete the following tasks:
Go to the location of the FlexNet Publisher utilities that are currently being used. For MapleSim Insight 2024, the default location is /usr/local/MapleNetworkTools/FLEXlm/11.13.1.2/. Enter the command:
./lmdown |
Copy all of the network license files to one folder, for example, $HOME/MapleNetworkTools/activate.
Note: Point to the directory only, not an actual license file.
./lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log
where license_file_path is the full path to the directory containing the license files and debug_log is the name of a file to which debugging information is written. The -l option (letter l, not the number 1 (one)) creates the file.
You can now use your network licensed Maplesoft products.
