ProgeCAD

ProgeCAD is a 2D and 3D design software for CAD and concept sketching. It is compatible with AutoCAD and supports Direct Modeling in native .dwg format.

OpenLM supports monitoring the ProgeCAD Network License Manager (NLM) for versions 13.0.18 onward. The license server creates a periodic XML file, which OpenLM parses to present usage results in the EasyAdmin interface.

Prerequisites

Monitoring ProgeCAD requires:

• OpenLM Broker installed on the ProgeCAD license server machine.
• OpenLM Server installed on any Windows machine on the network (including the license server), or an OpenLM Cloud account.

The Broker queries the ProgeCAD license server locally and forwards data to OpenLM Server.

Configure OpenLM to monitor ProgeCAD

1. Download and install OpenLM Server or create a Cloud account.
2. Open EasyAdmin → Start → Administration → License Manager Servers → Add LM.
3. In Description, enter a descriptive name (for example, My ProgeCAD license server).
4. From Type, select OpenLM Generic.
5. Enter the server Hostname or IP (for example, progecad_server).
6. Set the correct Time Zone for the license server.
7. Ensure the Description name matches the name you will use in Broker.
8. Enter the ProgeCAD Port (for example, 51168). Use the same number in Broker.
9. Keep Is Triad Configuration off. ProgeCAD does not support triad redundancy.
10. Turn Use Broker on.
11. Click Save.

Configure OpenLM Broker (desktop UI)

1. Download and install the latest OpenLM Broker.
2. In Broker, click Add Port.
   • Select the license server node (for example, progecad_server).
   • Enter the same port used in Server (for example, 51168).
   • From Type, select OpenLM Generic.
   • Click Apply → OK.
3. In Commands, select data_inquiry and enter:

   “<Full path to NLMServerMonitor.exe>” /xml
   “C:\Program Files (x86)\ProgeCAD\NLM Server 2013 PRONG\NLMServerMonitor\NLMServerMonitor.exe” /xml

4. Click Execute to verify the command.
5. Click Apply.
6. Repeat steps 3–5 for the Status command.
7. In Vendors, type ProgeCAD (case sensitive) and click Apply.
8. Click Restart Broker.

Configure OpenLM Broker (web UI)

Alternatively, use the Broker web UI:

1. Install the latest Broker.
2. Open http://localhost:5090/.
3. Go to License Managers → Add License Manager.
4. From Type, select OpenLM Generic. Enter the port (for example, 51168) and click Add.

5. Go to the Commands tab. In Executable path, enter:

   <Full path to NLMServerMonitor.exe>” /xml

6. Click Save, then Execute to validate the output.

7. Go to the Vendors tab. Click Add Vendor. Enter ProgeCAD (or another free-text name). Click Continue → Save.

Verify the configuration

After setup, approve the new license manager:

1. Open EasyAdmin → Start → Administration → License Manager Servers.
2. Click the Pending icon and approve the ProgeCAD license manager.

Once approved, ProgeCAD license usage reports are available in EasyAdmin.
