NOTE If the Installation wizard prompts you to install the Microsoft .NET 4.0
Framework, the .NET 4.0 Framework installer may prompt you to first install the
Windows Imaging Component (WIC). This can occur if you do not have the latest
Microsoft Windows updates or service packs. You are most likely to need WIC if
you are running Windows XP SP2 without certain Windows Updates installed. If
required, the Microsoft WIC installers are available at the following locations:
■ 32-bit installer:

■ 64-bit installer: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?Family-

Understand Administrative Permission Require-
ments
To install Autodesk Navisworks, you must have administrator permissions.
You do not need to have domain administrative permissions. See your system
administrator for information about administrative permissions.
To run Autodesk Navisworks, you do not need administrator permissions. You
can run the program as a limited user.
Specify License
You can install Autodesk Navisworks Manage and Autodesk Navisworks
Simulate for a trial period of 30 days to evaluate the products.
The following notes provide a general overview. For more detailed information,
see the Licensing Guide.
If you purchase a license, it is configured as either stand-alone or network,
and for a specific number of users. These license types are briefly described as
follows:
■ A stand-alone license is intended for use by one person. The licensed
products can be installed on two computers, as long as both instances are
not running concurrently.
■ A multi-seat stand-alone license is intended to support a specified
maximum number of users, but it can be installed on a larger number of
computers for convenient access.
