5. Go to the **Vendors** node, enter **IPGLock** as the vendor name, and select **Apply**.  
6. Select the **Log Files** node and browse to the IPGLock log file location.

2. Go to **License Managers → Add License Manager**.  

3. Select **IPGLock** from the type dropdown, enter the port number, and select **Add**.  

4. In the **Commands** tab, confirm the **Service Name** is correct and select **Execute** to verify the Telnet command works.
