A RENA S OFTWARE I NSTALLATION
S YSTEM R EQUIREMENTS
The minimum requirements/recommendations for
running the Arena software are as follows:
n Arena software, version 5.00.
n Microsoft Windows 95 (OSR-2), Windows 98,
NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5 or later), or Windows
2000.
n Hard drive with 75-200 MB free disk space
(depending on options installed).
n 32MB RAM (recommended 64MB RAM or
higher, depending on operating system).
n Recommended Pentium processor, 300Mhz or
higher.
n Note: The faster the PC, the better the system
will run. The running and animation of Arena
and some large simulation models can be
calculation-intensive, so a faster processor
results in less time to perform these activities. In
addition, since Arena has a graphical user
interface that typically animates many items, a
larger monitor (21”) is recommended, although
not required.
n Under Windows NT and 2000, you must have
Admin privileges to install the software.
A RENA S OFTWARE I NSTALLATION S TEPS
1. Insert the Arena CD and the autorun program
should start. If not, browse to autorun.exe on
the CD and double-click it to start the installa-
tion.
2. Select “Install Arena” from the install dialog.
When prompted for a serial number, enter the
serial number from the Arena activation disk
included with the software. NOTE: You may
receive multiple activation disks. Only the
serial number from the Arena product activation
disk (e.g., Arena Basic Edition or Arena Stan-
dard Edition) should be entered.
3. When choosing a location to install Arena on
the PC’s hard drive, please note that Arena will
be placed in a subfolder of the one you specify.
4. At the end of the Arena install, you will see an
option to install the activation for Arena. If you
are installing software for demo, runtime, or
network licensing purposes, this option should
be unchecked. Otherwise, it should be checked
and the activation disk should be inserted into
the disk drive. By default, the activation will be
placed on the C drive. Note: The activation can
be installed or moved at a later time to an
alternate location by choosing Start/Programs/
Rockwell Software/Utilities/Move Activation.
For more information on Rockwell’s license
activation, or for help in setting up a network
license, choose Start/Programs/Rockwell Soft-
ware/Utilities/ Activation Help.
5. After Arena installs, reboot your computer if
requested.
