==Prerequisites==
# 'Download NVIDIA License Server for Windows' [https://ui.licensing.nvidia.com/software NVIDIA Licensing Software Downloads]
#: This is under 'Additional Software'
#: E.g. 
#: <code>\\10.0.0.222\software\NVIDIA\GRID\NVIDIA License Server\NVIDIA-ls-windows-2018.zip</code>
# [https://www.java.com/en/download/ Oracle Java]

==Deploy Windows Server 2016==
# Deploy a Windows Server 2016 (must be 2016) VM
# Install VMware Tools
# Allow remote users to connect to this computer
# Set a static IP address
# Set correct timezone
# Run Windows updates, in our example we updated to 1607
# Take a snapshot (the installation is highly error prone)

==Install Java==
# In the usual way

==Set the System Environmental Variables==
# Create a system environmental variable called 'JAVA_HOME' which points to the JRE installation directory
#:: E.g.: For Oracle Java SE JRE: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_191
# Add the path of the java.exe executable to the 'PATH' system environmental variable. Currently this is the directory named 'bin'
#:: For example: For Oracle Java SE JRE: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_191\bin
# Restart server

==Install NVIDIA License Server==
# Login via RDP
# Copy and paste the 'NVIDIA License Server' archive to the new server
# Extract the archive
# Run the set-up file 'setup.exe'
# Specify the opening of port 8080 in the options if applicable
# Restart server

==Test==
# From the server navigate to http://localhost:8080/licserver
#: You should be presented with a similar interface to the below, minus the existing client
