Starting with product releases for SAP2000 v18, CSiBridge 2016, ETABS 2016, SAFE 2016 and later, users must install Sentinel RMS License Manager v8.6 (or later) to host these licenses. 

If you currently have License Manager v8.5 (or earlier to v8.0) installed: The CSI Installation Wizard will prompt you to manually uninstall your current License Manager version before it proceeds to install License Manager v8.6. 

• Launch CSI Installation Wizard on your server machine.
• The Wizard will prompt you to manually uninstall your current License Manager.
• Once current License Manager has been uninstalled, the Wizard will prompt you to continue.
• The Wizard will download the installation files for License Manager and Utilities.
• Once the installation files are downloaded, you can install the License Manager and Utilities through the Wizard.
• During the installation of the Utilities, you will be prompted for your activation key(s). Once entered, your licenses will be activated on your server.
• You can now proceed to run the CSI Installation Wizard on your client machines to install the software.

If you have a previous version of the Utilities, they will be updated through the above process. Any licenses activated will be transferred over to your new License Manager and Utilities. There is no need to deactivate your licenses before upgrading your License Manager.

If you currently have License Manager v7.x (or earlier) installed: Licenses from LM7 are not supported on License Manager v8.6. Please find another machine to install License Manager v8.6 as two versions of Sentinel License Manager cannot run on the same machine.
