CATIA STUDENT INSTALLATION GUIDE
Pre-installation Checklist:
- Before you begin the installation process, you should have your Catia license certificate downloaded on your computer. The license certificate would have been emailed to the e-mail address specified when you purchased your Catia Student Edition. The license certificate would have come in as an attachment with a . LIC file extension. If you choose to install Catia software without a license, then you will need to go to C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B16\intel_a\code\bin and running the CATNodelockMgt.exe file after the installation and point it to the license file.
- Temporarily disable all firewalls, virus protection and anti-spyware software during the installation process.
- It is highly recommended that you exit all applications during the installation process.
- Since the entire process may take more than 30 minutes, ensure that your power settings are not set to hibernate or stand-by
when idle for a short period of time.
