Important Notices
If you wish to run multiple releases of ANSYS, Inc.
software, you MUST install them chronologically (i.e.,
Release 14.0 followed by Release 14.5). If you install
an earlier release after installing Release 14.5, you will
encounter licensing issues that may prevent you from
running any products/releases. If you need to install
an earlier release after you have already installed Release 14.5, you MUST uninstall Release 14.5, then reinstall the releases in order.
Overview
The intent of this Quick Start Installation Guide is to
give you a very simple overview of the steps required
to install ANSYS, Inc. products. This information applies to all ANSYS 14.5 products that can be installed
with the installation launcher. ANSYS 14.5 will be used
throughout this guide to refer to all ANSYS 14.5
products.
This document assumes that you are installing
products to run as a client. If you want to install the
ANSYS, Inc. License Manager, please refer to the Quick
Start Licensing Guide or the ANSYS, Inc. Licensing Guide.
ANSYS, Inc. Release 14.5 can be installed without removing Releases 14.0 or earlier, provided that you
specify the same root installation directory (C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc by default) to create the
correct side-by-side installations. If you do wish to
remove the previous release(s), we recommend that
you complete the Release 14.5 installation and verify
that it is running correctly before uninstalling the
previous release(s).
