Installing Design and Analysis

These installation instructions apply to Design and Analysis. After you install this package, return to the “Planning Your Installation” section on page 1-1.

Installing Design and Analysis on Windows

Use the following procedure to install Design and Analysis from the product CDs.

Installing Design and Analysis on Windows

Step 1 Log in as Administrator before inserting a CD.

Step 2 Insert the Design and Analysis software CD into your CD-ROM drive.

The installation program should start automatically. If it does not start, double-click on the icon that represents the CD-ROM and click on the setup.exe icon.

Note If you are installing on Windows XP, you might see an error window that reads, “OPNET <product_name> has encountered a problem and needs to close.” This error occurs because the installer caused an existing License Server process (op_license_server.exe) to terminate abnormally. This is known issue; simply click Don’t Send and proceed with the installation.

You will be prompted for a directory in which to install your software (typically

C:\Program Files\Cisco\CiscoNPS1.0).

Step 3 When the software installer prompts you to specify the type of licensing system to install, the following might help you decide:

•Standalone is recommended if you are the only Design and Analysis user.

•Floating: access licenses from a remote server is the correct choice if you already have the Design and Analysis License Server running on a remote machine and you want this installation to get its licenses from that machine.

•Floating: serve licenses from this computer is the correct choice if the current machine will be the License Server.

	For more information about these options, see the “Product Licensing” section on page 1-3.
Step 4	Insert the Design and Analysis models CD and run the installer.
Step 5	Insert the Design and Analysis documentation CD and run the installer.
