Installation
This section provides step-by-step instructions about how to install Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009
on your system. You should read the entire Standalone Installation Guide if you have any questions that

the Network Installation Guide.
How to Prepare for Installation
Before you install Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009, you must review the system requirements,
understand administrative permission requirements, locate your Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009
serial number, and close all running applications. After you complete these tasks, you can install
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009.
How to Review System Requirements
Make sure that the computer on which you install Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 meets the system
requirements. If your system does not meet the system requirements, many problems can occur, both
within Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 and at the operating system level.
To review the system requirements, see “ System Requirements ”.
How to Understand Administrative Permission Requirements
To install Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009, you must have administrator permissions. You do not

administrative permissions.
To run Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009, you do not need administrator permissions. You can run the

How to Install Multiple or Bundled Products
Some Autodesk packages are comprised of multiple products or are part of multi-product bundles. The
Installation wizard for packages that are comprised of multiple products gives you the option to choose
which products you want to install. During the install process, you’ll be informed whether a copy of the
software is already installed or you’ll be warned if your system does not meet the minimum system
requirements for the product. Each product is displayed on its own tabbed panel and you can individually
configure them to specifically fit your needs.
If you’ve purchased a package that is a multi-product bundle, such as am educational or institutional
packages, you may have a package that includes several Autodesk products. For these bundled
packages, an Installer Disk contains information for all the products in the package. The Installer Disk
helps manage all of the products being installed.
