Step 3 - Add NSP_HOST Variable

After opening the Environment Variables window, add a new System Variable.

Enter "NSP_HOST" in the Variable field.

Enter the IP Number/Hostname of the computer on which the hardware key resides on in the Value field. In some environments, specifying an IP address works (and not the Hostname). If using a hostname (fully qualified), be sure to flush your DNS cache and/or restart the DNS service, if working across subnets.

Note: If the hardware key resides on the same computer as CAEPIPE, for your IP Number/Hostname, you will use either:

A. 127.0.0.1
B. localhost
C. A static IP Number - Check with your Network Administrator
As noted above, preferably specify the IP address (not the hostname).
