The first time you enter XMIM, an authentication message window displays as in the graphic below. Select Yes if you want the authentication window to come up each time you start XMIM. Select Always to always authenticate the launching of XMIM (recommended choice – you won't see this dialog again unless XMIM is upgraded).

In order to run XMIM you will need to obtain a license key. Make a notation of the serial number listed in the License Installation window (example below). You will need to send this serial number to a LIM Customer Support Representative at support@lim.com to obtain a license key.

Use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy/paste the license key into the License field.

Next, enter the server and port information:

The XMIM interface displays.

The next time XMIM is restarted the license and server/port screens will be by-passed. If a different server/port setting is needed, select Options>Connection>Server Config from the XMIM menu bar.
