2.1 Enhanced ABAQUS installation procedures

Benefits: The revised installation procedures offer usability and functional enhancements including client product installation on Windows platforms, GUI-based installation of redundant license servers, and silent installation of ABAQUS documentation.

Description: The client product installation allows you to configure a computer on a Windows platform to run ABAQUS products that have been installed on a mounted network drive. Using this installation, you can configure multiple computers to run ABAQUS without installing ABAQUS on each computer.

It is now possible to automatically configure a redundant license server during a standard GUI installation. The installation process prompts you for the host ids and ports for your multiple servers and automatically configures the ABAQUS license file to utilize these servers.

Using the -replay option, you can now perform identical installations of ABAQUS documentation on multiple computers without going through the entire installation process on each computer.
