2.From the CD Browser, select Install Products and select System Designer. The System Designer installation will perform a full installation, as there are no optional components.

Note: Do not install System Designer to a directory name that contains spaces, other- wise improper opperation will occur.

Note: When you reach the portion of the System Designer installation prompting about licensing, you should select one of two options, either Custom or Skip. Select Custom if you already have a valid license and follow the instructions outlined in Section 3.4.2 “Configuring the System Designer License”. Choose Skip if you do not have a license and follow the instructions in Section 3.4.1 “Requesting a System Designer License”.

	Licensing	Designer without a valid license, however you will not be able to use ModelSim®,
		LeonardoSpectrum™ or Co-Verification.

		prefer to use a dongle-based license, it is necessary that you purchase a Security Don-
		gle from Atmel (Atmel Part Number: ATDH94DNG).
		The instructions below describe the configuration of a NIC-based license. If you request
		a dongle-based license, you will receive instructions on how to configure the license with
		the dongle. If you wish to use a single license for multiple machines, it is necessary to
		purchase a Security Dongle.

		posed of a combination of twelve alphanumeric characters.
