License Manager Software

Petroleum Experts License Manager Software including documentation available as a separate download

Beginning with MOVE 2019, MOVE is licensed solely using the Petroleum Experts HARDLOCK License
Manager.The FlexNet Activation licensing method has been removed from the software and licensing
system. In summary:

l Support for FlexNet licensing manager has been removed from the software and licensing system.
l MOVE 2019 requires a HARDLOCK license and will not work with previous FlexNet License Manager
installations.
l The MOVE 2019 installer installs a Windows Service (Petroleum Expert Licensing) that allows MOVE to
communicate with the HARDLOCK License Manager, or a BITLOCK Licensing Dongle.
l Following the installation of MOVE 2019, the Setup HASP Bitlock Driver program needs to be run
from the Petroleum Experts Licensing folder of the Windows Start menu. This installs the device
driver for the BITLOCK Licensing dongle.

Graphics Card

Move is a graphics intensive application and takes advantage of modern hardware GPUs in order to speed up
3D rendering. The more memory on the graphics card the better Move will handle larger 3D/2D Seismic files,
DEMs and Image overlays.

Graphics Card minimum requirements (Notebook or Workstation)

l Minimum of 4GB of RAM, Graphics card drivers fully up to date, Pixel Shader 2.0 or later, OpenGL
compatible

Notebook Graphics Card mid-range:

l NVIDIA with 4-6 GB RAM e.g. Quadro M4000M, M22000, P2000, P3000, P3200

4
 2019.1.0 Installation Guide

Notebook Graphics Card high-end

l NVIDIA with 8-16 GB RAM e.g. Quadro P/M5000, P/M6000,M5500, P4000, P5000, P4200, P5200

Workstation Graphics Card mid-range

Workstation Graphics Card high-end

l NVIDIA with 12-32 GB RAM e.g. Quadro K6000, M6000, P5000, P6000, GP100, GV100

Hardware

The following list is provided as a general guide only. If your system configuration is different and you are
unsure of its capability then please email us: [email protected] with your system details for further
information. The hardware requirements greatly depend on the size of data sets you are using. If you are
working with large data sets and utilising Move applications simultaneously then we would strongly suggest
the following recommendations.

Workstation/Desktop

For example, Dell Precision 5820, 7820, 7920

Specification Recommended Minimum Recommended Ideal

Intel i5 quad-core  Intel i7 /Xeon E5

CPU
4C/6C/8C/12C
Memory 8 GB 16-128 GB+

Laptop/Notebook

For example Dell Precision 5 5530 15", 7530 15”, 7730 17”

Specification Recommended Minimum Recommended Ideal

CPU Intel i5 4C Intel i7/i9 4C/6C

Memory 8 GB 8-64 GB+

Screen/Monitor

l Minimum screen resolution is a single monitor/screen with 1920 x 1080 pixels (full HD 1080p)
l Move is a graphics intensive application supporting multiple simultaneous views of your data model,
and we recommend as much screen space as you can afford in order to maximise your experience and
attention to detail.
l Move will support dual monitors which are recommended at 30” in size and above.

INSTALLING MOVE

Installing on Windows

It is recommend that you should be a Windows Power user/ Administrator or have UAC (user access control)
elevated to administrator to install on Windows.

Move2019.1.0 requires .NET Framework 4.6.

l Desktop - .NET Framework 4.6 comes pre-installed with Windows 10 first version and all versions
thereafter. Can be downloaded for Windows 8.1, 8 and 7.
l Server - .NET Framework 4.6 comes pre-installed with Windows Server 2016 and all versions
thereafter. Can be downloaded for Windows Server 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2 SP1, 2008 SP2.

To begin the installation process you must browse to the installer file, for example:

:\Move2019.1.0\Windows64\move_2019.1.0_windows_64-bit.exe

Installation Folder

Select the folder in which you wish to install Move. You may select your own location by clicking Choose or by
typing the explicit location in the input box. By default it is:

C:\Program Files\Petroleum Experts\Move2019.1.0

 2019.1.0 Installation Guide

Uninstalling Move on Windows

Please use the Control Panel to uninstall Move.

Using Windows Remote Desktop

When connecting to a remote system using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Services you may experience
issues when using larger models. This is due to limitations with the software OpenGL driver that is used when
using the remote connection. There are several ways to work around such issues:

Use another remote display application that uses the hardware capabilities of the host machine.

Start Move on the host machine BEFORE connecting to it. This requires physical access to the host system.

Use the alternate software OpenGL drivers provided with Move. These are located in the bin/mesa3d folder
inside the location where Move was installed. When Move senses that it is running remotely then it will
prompt the user that the software drivers are being copied into the bin folder and being utilised. See notes
below:

Cloud and Virtual machine usage additional notes:

Clients can use Move via remote or cloud solutions or technologies e.g. HP RGS, VMware vSphere, Citrix
Xen, Microsoft Azure, OpenText Exceed, or Windows Server 2016 DDA/Remote FX.

You must ensure for the best experience that the remote machine or technology has dedicated or a virtual
GPU resource that will enable 3D graphics, OpenGL, and GPU capability. The Azure Cloud (N-Series), or
Windows Server 2016 DDA/Remote FX capability both provide GPU solutions.

You can run Move on the Windows Server environment using basic RDS/RDP technology, however Move will
fall-back to “software” rendering for OpenGL or GPU code. This is satisfactory to a degree, however will be
much slower that “native” or managed “virtual/cloud” solutions, with 2D or 3D Seismic rendering being
especially very limited.

The number of choices for deployment to the cloud or a virtual environment is really client preference, and
we cannot recommend one solution over another. We also cannot test Move in all end-user virtual
environments due to sheer number of possible software and hardware configurations, however we can
assist with any problems you may come across when the environment or solution is being tested prior to
production.

3D PDF Animations

On machines without Adobe Flash Player installed, the 2D animation controls in the 3D PDF output fail to
function. Flash is NOT required for viewing the 3D content files, only the 2D Section Animations. Install Flash
Player software to resolve this issue.

MOVE LINK FOR OPENWORKS R5000

The Move Link for OpenWorks R5000 provides a means for Landmark OpenWorks users to share and transfer
data with Petroleum Experts Move Application of the Move Suite.

The Link allows the Move user to directly import objects within an OpenWorks R5000 database via the input
tree to send them across to Move. Once in Move, it is then possible to perform model building, editing and
analysis or utilise functionality within the modelling modules to perform restoration, validation, balancing,
Geomechanical Modelling, Fracture Modelling and Sediment Modelling on the transferred objects (if licenses
for these modules have been purchased and are available).

Software

To use the Move Link for OpenWorks R5000, users are required to have a licence of:

l Move Link for OpenWorks R5000 software from Petroleum Experts.

l Move software from version Move2019.1.0 from Petroleum Experts.
l Windows - Landmark OpenWorks software from version 5000.10.5 back.
l Oracle software version 11g onwards.

For clarification on compatibility please email: [email protected].

Operating System

Please check to ensure you have at least the minimum specification before installing:

Windows Microsoft Windows Windows 7 (64-bit).

Installation (client)

The Link will work whether running Move from the same machine as OpenWorks is installed on or
alternatively from a client machine on the network that can see the OpenWorks and Oracle installations.

Linux Move clients should ensure that Oracle and OpenWorks installations are on your PATH and LD_
LIBRARY_PATH and visible on the network. Optionally on Linux you can install a local client of Oracle
software.

Windows clients MUST install Oracle client and OpenWorks client software before you run Move. See the
installation guides from these products for more information. Petroleum Experts do not supply Oracle or
Landmark OpenWorks clients; these can be obtained as part of your own OpenWorks installation - contact
your own local OpenWorks administrator. Some environment variables that need to be set or will help set-up
include:

l OWHOME, OW_ORACLE_USER OW_HOME_DIR
