Benefits: The revised installation procedures offer usability and functional enhancements including a first-in-class GUI-based upgrade of an ABAQUS FLEXlm license server and support for installation on shared file systems.
Description: The ABAQUS licensing installation procedure now upgrades an existing ABAQUS FLEXlm license server provided the existing server was started using the licensing installation procedure. The uninstall procedure for ABAQUS licensing on Windows platforms has been simplified.
The ABAQUS product installation setup command supports several new options including file-server installations (-crossplatform option), multiple identical installations (-replay option), and specification of a Java Runtime Environment (-jre option). You can now configure ABAQUS for parallel execution during the product installation procedure.
The HTML documentation installation procedure now offers the option to install the HTML documentation without a web server; however, no search functionality is available with this option.
