Purpose: This document provides instructions for installation/setup of DFMPro on Server Machine.

Server Setup:

1. Download ‘DFMPro for NX’ installer zip file from the ftp location provided in the mail by

Geometric.

2. Unzip the installer and install it on the server machine.

(a) It requires administrative rights on the server.
(b) Ensure that NX is already installed on the server.
(c) Please install 32 bit installer for 32 bit NX and 64 bit installer for 64 bit NX installation.

Client Setup:

1. Download the ‘DFMPro for NX’ license file provided by Geometric. Also download the

redistributables provided.

for 64 bit machine.

For Example: Let’s assume that the ‘Z’ drive is mapped to “C:\Program Files” where Geometric
folder is present in “C:\Program Files” on server.

4. Create an environment variable “DFMPro_NX_Installation=Z:\Geometric\DFMPro for NX\”

where ‘Z’ drive is mapped.

NX\DFMProLicenseManager\DFMLicenseManager.exe”
