1 How to Download and Install NX10.0 Scope: Introduction This document covers the necessary steps to get NX 10.0 installed on a Windows client. It is divided into four sections: Introduction Downloading NX 10.0 Installing NX 10.0 Installing NX 10.0 Documentation (Help) Note: The installation of the SPLM License Server is not covered in this document as it may already be installed on a local area networked server. See Installing the NX 10.0 License Server for server installation instructions. Audience: IT administrators End users What you should know about license files and license configurations: There are a number of license configurations that can be applied to a typical NX 10.0 installation. In order to have a successful installation, you should know whether you will be using an SPLM License Server or not. The server software can be installed on a client machine that is using NX 10.0 application software, or on a server that is visible to the NX 10.0 client computers on a local area network. In both cases, you should have a Siemens license file stored in a safe location that you can easily browse to during installation, unless you are adding a new machine installation or making an upgrade to an existing machine in an existing floating license configuration. In that case, the license server and license file should already be installed, configured, and running. When a license server is in use, the license file should be edited before installation to show the computer name of the machine that it is running on before installation. The COMPOSITE is specific to the machine, and must be registered with Siemens before the permanent license is issued.

2 If you do not understand your license configuration before starting the installation process, please contact Acuity Solutions for clarification and guidance.

The installer will copy the file to its proper location and rename it accordingly when you browse to it and select it during the installation process.
