Adding the LSHOST Environment Variable

If Alphacam fails to find the Sentinel Network License Manager, it may be required to set the license server name.  This can be done by adding an environment variable named LSHOST to the PC which is running Alphacam (not the License Manager).  The value of this variable should be set to the name or IP address of the License Manager server.

Please follow the steps below to add this environment variable.
