software and click the file xwin329_2.exe.
Click Open and then click OK.
- When prompted for an "Unzip to Folder," use
an empty temporary directory on your hard drive. Important: If you already
have a version of X-Win32 installed, do not extract the setup file into
the same directory; doing so could damage your existing installation.

Do NOT click "Node Locked" to license your machine at this time. Historically, Node Locked licenses were used for stand-alone installs on campus and for off campus installs because the Floating license was IP restricted to on campus machines only. The Floating key is no longer IP restricted.
Click "Floating" to install the concurrent network license (all cases). This does not require a license manager to be installed. Copy and paste the long license key into the dialog box. Be careful to NOT COPY beyond the end of the license key, thus introducing blank characters into the key. Click Next and then Finish.
Note: The license numbers are contained in the "XWin32 9.2 Install Notes.txt" file provided with the download.
