Depending on whether a license is standalone or network, the time it takes a CSI program to locate the license and then launch the software may be reduced as described on this page.

Option 2 - using shortcuts
As an alternative to using the lmhost.ini file, or to assist with selecting a specified program level when pulling a network license, customized shortcuts can be created. This allows multiple shortcuts to be created, each specifying a different program level. To do so, create a shortcut pointing to the program executable in the installation folder by right-clicking on the executable (.exe) and selecting "Create Shortcut". Right click on the shortcut and select "Properties". Edit the "Target" location by adding: /L [Program Level] (where [Program Level] is the level name such as "PLUS" or "ADVANCE"). The "Target" line for ETABS 2013 would read as follows: "...Computers and Structures\ETABS 2013\ETABS.exe" /L PLUS
NOTE: The program levels are case sensitive and must be in ALL CAPS.
Specification of program level in the shortcut will supersede that in the level.txt file. Please note when creating multiple shortcuts, shortcut names can be edited for the convenience of identifying which shortcut launches which program level.
