2. License Request and Installation

2.1 Request a License

For each PC in which a courseware is going to run, execute the file entitled § machine_id.exe located in: C:\OPAL-RT\RT-LAB\v2024.3.0.21\common\bin as follows:

Retrieve the generated file entitled: machine_id.opal
Send the retrieved files for all the PCs to the courseware team.
A license will be generated for these specific PCs.
