Installation
Quick Start to Stand-Alone Installation
This section provides step-by-step instructions about how to prepare, and then
install Autodesk Navisworks.
Stand-alone installation is recommended for individual users or small groups.
The key point is that you will repeat the installation process on each computer.
For a stand-alone license this is the only valid installation type, but it can also
be used with a multi-seat stand-alone or network license.
Prepare for Installation
To prepare for installation, you should review the system requirements,
understand administrative permission requirements, and close all running
applications.
Complete these tasks, and you are ready to begin installing Autodesk Navisworks
Freedom 2012.
NOTE It is also recommended that you install Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 before
installing the product. See
Install Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 (page 23).
System Requirements for Stand-Alone Installation
The first task you need to complete is to make sure that your computer meets
the minimum system requirements. If your system does not meet these
requirements, problems can occur, both within Autodesk Navisworks and at
the operating system level.
