Uninstalling PIPESIM 2012.2 or 2014.1

To uninstall PIPESIM 2012.2 or 2014.1 (Windows 7)
1. Select Start > Control Panel.

2. Click Programs and Features.
The Uninstall or Change a Program window opens.
3.
4.
5.
6.
In the list of currently installed programs, click PIPESIM 2012.2.

The wizard displays the uninstall status.
Click Finish.
Uninstalling Previous Versions of PIPESIM
Uninstall previous versions of PIPESIM and Field Planning Tool (FPT) before installing PIPESIM 2014. 1 or
2012.2.
To uninstall a previous version
1. Use the Add or Remove Programs tool in the Windows Control Panel. See steps 1 through 7 in
Uninstalling PIPESIM 2012.1.
2. Earlier versions of PIPESIM write entries 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 by 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 .dll files before installing PIPESIM 2012.2 or 2014.1. By default these
can be found at:
C:\Program Files\Schlumberger\PIPESIM\Programs
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Schlumberger\PIPESIM
Page 9
License Configuration
Configure and activate your license immediately after installing PIPESIM (and the Schlumberger Licensing
utility, if necessary). Complete license configuration before you attempt to open and log into PIPESIM.
Note: Your 2012.2 and 2014.1 PIPESIM applications use the same license. You can use a local license file on
your machine, or connect to a FlexLM License Server (remote host) accessed by multiple users.
Schlumberger uses the FLEXNET system to manage software licensing. If your organization uses a FLEXNET
license server to manage software licenses, contact your FLEXNET administrator for assistance with adding
PIPESIM 2012.2 or PIPESIM 2014.1 license to the established license server.
For organizations that do not have a FLEXNET license server, Schlumberger provides the Schlumberger
Licensing utility to manage Schlumberger-specific licenses.
Performance Tips
To avoid slowing down the license validation process, do not keep servers which are down or contain
invalid licenses in the license server list shown in the Schlumberger licensing window.
Network licenses depend on your networks performance; make sure that your best-performing license
is shown at the top of the list.
Installing the Schlumberger Licensing Utility
Use the Schlumberger Licensing utility to configure and manage Schlumberger License Server, which in turn
uses the FLEXNet license system.
To install the Schlumberger Licensing Utility
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
From the installation CD, select the SLBLicensing folder.

Double-click SchlumbergerLicensing2014.exe, and select Run.
The Schlumberger Licensing - InstallShield Wizard dialog box appears.

Server-Based Licenses
If your PIPESIM 2012.2 and 2014.1 administrator provides you with the name of a FlexLM License Server,
you can connect to the server by using the Schlumberger Licensing utility.
To Connect to a FlexLM License Server
The Schlumberger licensing dialog box appears.
2. In the All license servers for LM_LICENSE_FILE box, enter the license server name in the format
portnumber@servername, where:
portnumber is the number of a communication port between your computer and the security
server (often between 27000 and 27009)
servername is the computer name of your security server
3. Click Add license server.

4. Click Apply.
5. Click OK.
Note: By default, the licensing server is installed on port 27000.

Appendix A: Other PIPESIM 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 that 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 treat these files as read-only files by making copies of the file before editing them
for the following reasons:
Page 14
It allows others to access the un-edited files.

On some systems (such as Windows 7 with User Access Control enabled), these files are read-only.
Appendix B: Obtaining and Installing PIPESIM Licenses

This section explains how to obtain and install PIPESIM licenses.
FlexLM
PIPESIM 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 at the MS-DOS command 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 appropriate dongle to be plugged in. Using a FlexID (USB Dongle ID) makes licensing
the machine independent, flexible, and portable as 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 need to have
PIPESIM and NetEngine features in the License file.
To set up the stand-alone, 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 stand-alone, node-locked type licenses. For all other licenses, see License
Configuration.
Warning: Do NOT set the stand-alone license by using the Local license server of the Schlumberger Licensing
Manager. This action 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
Page 15
Appendix C: 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 hours 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 at a later date, because each checked-out feature or
Borrow decrements the license feature number.
Page 16
To use BorrowFlex
1. Launch BorrowFlex Start->Programs-> Schlumberger->PIPESIM->Utilities->Flexlm Borrowing Utility.

2. Select the date to borrow until.
3. Click Borrow.
If Borrow is successful, a confirmation message is displayed. An example might be:
4. Click OK to continue.
5. Launch PIPESIM.
6. Load and run the case(s) required to run in Borrow mode.
This performs automatic features borrowing. Close and exit from PIPESIM.
7. Exit BorrowFlex.
This terminates the Borrow session on the machine.
8. Launch BorrowFlex.
The checked-out features are listed with their expiration date.
