Licenses on IDE

If a new license is obtained or you have alternative license files you can use operating system or IDE facilities to update your license.  In the IDE choose the file options choice then the Licenses tab.  There point to the License file desired using the box with three buttons in it and choose the file nominally called gamslice.txt that is located somewhere else on your computer.  However a word of caution is in order.  This does not copy the license file to the GAMS system directory and it is inadvertently moved or deleted in the other location it will no longer provide a license.  It is thus advised that you do not use this procedure for your base license and rather copy it to the proper spot as discussed immediately below.
