This guide provides a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial for the seamless installation and configuration of the HyperLynx 2409 software package, along with its licensing. Additionally, this guide can be a valuable resource for those who are installing other software packages from the Siemens EDA portfolio, for instance Xpedition.

Now, let’s dive into the detailed steps to ensure a successful installation and setup of HyperLynx.

1. Collect from a supplier required files:

• Hyperlynx offline installer for Windows, in our case called “HyperLynx_2409_win64.zip”
• Siemens License Server, in our case called “SiemensLicenseServer_v4.1.0.0_Win64_x86-64.exe”
• License files in txt or lic format.

2. Make sure that your license file is configured correctly. Check the correctness of the PC host name and MAC address.

3. Run Siemens License Server as administrator.

4. Select preferred installation language.

5. Import your license key.

6. Configure network ports (in our case default ports 29000 and 29001 will be used).

7. Define the destination folder for the licensing server application (we use default location C:\Program Files\Siemens\License Server

8. Enter a Webkey if you would like to have Siemens License Install Management (SLIM) activated, otherwise click “I don’t want this feature”.
