Appendix 1: Other PI PESI M files
This section describes other files.
Configuration file
PIPESIM settings are stored in a configuration file in the users Application Data folder. These files are
created the first time a new user starts PIPESIM. Typically the file can be found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\ApplicationData\Schlumberger\pipesim
Case studies
Example files are installed with PIPESIM, typically in:
C:\Program Files\Schlumberger\PIPESIM\Case Studies
We recommend that you use these files as read-only files, and that you make a copy of the file before
editing it. There are two reasons for this:
it allows others to access the un-edited files
on some systems these files are read-only

Appendix 2: Uninstalling previous versions of PI PESI M
Uninstall previous versions of PIPESIM, GOAL and HOSIM before installing PIPESIM 2011.1.2.
To uninstall a previous version
1. Use the Add or Remove Programs tool in the Windows Control Panel.
2. Earlier versions of PIPESIM write to the registry, and some of this information is not removed when the
program is uninstalled. Therefore, it may be necessary to edit the registry using regedit to delete keys
in the following areas:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Schlumberger\PIPESIM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Schlumberger\PIPESIM
3. If you encounter problems with Multiflash, you may also need to edit keys in the following area:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Infochem\Multiflash
4. Ensure that you delete any residual dlls before installing PIPESIM 2011.1.2. By default these can be
found at:
C:\Program Files\Schlumberger\PIPESIM\Programs
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Schlumberger\PIPESIM

Appendix 3: Obtaining and I nstalling PI PESI M Licenses
This section explains how to obtain and install the PIPESIM licenses.
Flexlm
PIPESIM 2011.1.2 security is based on Macrovision Flexlm. Flexlm calls are authorized by the provision of
text based encrypted license files. These files are locked to either to the host ID of the machine (MAC ID;
this information can be obtained by running the command IPCONFIG /all on DOS prompt), or a special USB
Dongle with a dongle ID (also referred as FlexID). License files can either be Stand Alone License files or
Server License files.
A license file for a specific MAC ID will only work on that specific machine. Similarly, files with a FlexID (USB
Dongle ID) require the relevant dongle to be plugged in. Using a FlexID (USB Dongle ID) makes licensing the
machine independent, flexible and portable so long as the license file is carried onto another machine.
PIPESIM has a number of components that are licensed separately. These features can be incorporated in
the license file as either FEATURES or INCREMENTS. For example, to launch the PIPESIM interface (GUI) you
will need to have PIPESIM features in the license file; to use the network engine you will require PIPESIM
and NetEngine features in the License file.
To set up the standalone node-locked type license, do one of the following:
Set the environment variable.
a. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables.
b. Set the LM_LICENSE_FILE user environment variable to the valid license file with its defined path.
For example, c:\slb\license.dat).
Use the Schlumberger Licensing Manager.
a. Under All license servers for LM_LICENSE_FILE , enter the valid license file (with its defined path
as c:\slb\license.dat).
b. Click Add License Server.
Note: These steps are for standalone node-locked type licenses. For all other licenses, refer to Appendix
5: Configuring Schlumberger Licensing.
Warning: Do NOT set the standalone license using the Local license server of the Schlumberger
Licensing Manager. It makes the license invalid by modifying the license file and adding the
following lines at the beginning of the file:
SERVER SLB-CC97Z3J 00217081BE8F
VENDOR slbsls
USE_SERVER

USB Dongle for PC Licensing
Each USB Dongle comes with a unique ID which is engraved on the USB dongle itself. The USB Dongle license
can be stand alone (making the machine portable and independent) or server type, where one machine on
the network is used as a license server.
USB Dongles require hardware device drivers (shipped with PIPESIM CD). There are two types of device
driver:
Flex USB driver - if the USB Dongle ID starts with a prefix of 9-xxxxxxxx, install USB Flex Drivers.
Dallas drivers - . if USB Dongle ID starts with 8-xxxxxxxxx, install Dallas drivers.
Most common and recent dongles are Aladdin USB Dongles which requires Flex USB drivers and are
compatible with Windows XP and Windows 2008. Refer to the following instructions for installing device
drivers.
To install the USB Dongle Driver
1. Load the PIPESIM CD and double-click Setup.exe.
2. Select Install Products.
3. Select SLB Licensing.
4. Select Install Flex USB Drivers or Install Dallas Drivers.
5. Select the language and click Next.
6. Accept the license agreement and click Install.

Appendix 4: Other Utilities - BorrowFlex
BorrowFlex allows users to check out license features on their machine. Features can only be checked out if
the license file itself has the BORROW keyword in its license string. The borrow period is restricted to a
maximum of six days or less from the date of checkout. Checked out features cannot be returned early. The
minimum borrow period is 24 hrs by default.
By default, duplicate features borrowed or checked out on the same date are not permitted. However,
caution is required to exercise Borrow identical feature on a later date, as each checked out feature or
Borrow decrements the license feature number.

1. Launch BorrowFlex Start->Programs-> Schlumberger->PIPESIM->Utilities->Flexlm Borrowing Utility.
