LICENSE INSTALLATION FOR IMAT
----------------------------------

IMAT licenses are supplied by the Sentinel RMS server, which is provided as a
separate installation.  You can download the latest version of the license
server by following the links from

http://www.ata-e.com/software/rmsserver/index.html

Please follow the installation instructions that come with the server package
to install and configure the license server.  You will need to contact ATA
Engineering for a license file.

Assuming this is installed and configured correctly, all you need to do for IMAT
is to set the environment variable LSHOST to point to the server.  On Linux/Unix,
you can set this variable using the command

export LSHOST=no-net:server
or
setenv LSHOST=no-net:server      ( C shell )

On Windows, you can define it in Settings | Control Panel | System.
