Configure Windows permissions:
- If you're using NIM with Active Directory, grant the NIM service permission to read and write from AD.
- Grant the user account on local administrator access on the server the service is running on.
Tip
See more information on Group Managed Service Accounts for Active Directory
During large mapping or role operations (e.g., tens of thousands of operations), Windows Defender can interfere with NIM. To resolve this, exclude the following from your Windows Defender and/or Endpoint Protection software:
- C:\Program Files\Tools4ever\NIM
- C:\ProgramData\Tools4ever\NIM
- C:\Program Files\Tools4ever\NIM\node.exe
- C:\Program Files\Tools4ever\NIM\nim.exe
Launch the NIM studio:
1. Ensure the back-end NIM service is running.
2. Open your preferred web browser and go to localhost:80/index.html. If you're connecting from an external machine, instead go to <hostname-or-ip-address>:80/index.html.
3. Choose a password for the default account (username Administrator).
4. To confirm, click Set Administrator Password.
5. Your chosen password is assigned to the Administrator account, and the NIM Studio is launched.

Paste your license into the License Code field, including the BEGIN_CODE and END_CODE lines.
Click Save.
If successful, the Status pane is populated with your license information. The license error is cleared. NIM's full functionality is enabled.
