Aspen Engineering suite 2006 : Installation step-by-step guide

[monycash]

To all who had managed to download & install all the modules of Aspen Suite 2006
( or at least managed to install Aspen Plus, Aspen Process Manual, Aspen Process Tools, etc ) ,
pls help us newbies on the step-by-step procedures.

The suite contain almost all the Aspen modules ( roughly about 714, i think ) & getting
thru the installation is the PROBLEM.

I am seeing recommendation in bits & pieces everywhere in almost every thread & I hope that
this thread would ease all the newbies on procedures.

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you

Cheers.

Dear,
Here's the simple procedure of installing AspenOne Engineering suite:
1. First copy the directory Magnitude to one of the directories in your hard drive and remember the location.
2. Then execute ASPEN_LicGen.exe by double clicking in the file.
3. The license generator takes some time to generate the license file and the license file is created inside the Magnitude directory itself after some time. Once you are prompted that the license file is created, close the ASPEN_LicGen window (a kernel window). The size of the license file is ~84 kB.
4. Then, insert the DVD-DL in which you have burned Aspen Engineering Suite into your DVD drive, or mount the iso file in any virtual drive. The DVD browser is started automatically by autoplay feature in your system. In case the autoplay fails, manually execute DVDBrowser from the root directory of the DVD.
5. The DVD browser automatically prompts you to search for the license. Browse to the Magnitude directory in your hard drive in which the license file is created and point to the license file in the Browse window. Then the license manager initializes the license file and it lists all the licensed softwares. Please be patient as it takes some time to enlist the licensed softwares. It obtains license for 710 softwares inside the Engineering suite, if everything goes okay.
6. Then select the required category of suite you wish to install and press install. That's all; you're done. Enjoy the suite.

Yours,
Nskvc

Thanks for the procedure. Will it work in vista ?

[monycash]

Apparently 2006 could not be run in vista. I think v7 version is the vista version.

But below is an excerpt from another forum pertaining to running it on vista.
Haven't tried ( no vista )......try at your own risk

......if your pc has the power you can install a virtual machine running windows xp using microsoft virtual pc available for free on their site.

[link Point to another website Only the registered members can access]
you can then run vista, have an xp machine in it running aspen........
