Installation, Licensing & Management

Installation of any software application should be straightforward, intuitive, and, perhaps above all, fast. Furthermore, when you have the software installed, you want to be able to update it as and when you deem necessary, and in a streamlined fashion.

Altium Designer provides a fast, efficient installation management system that caters to this very need – a system that not only expedites the initial installation process but lets you handcraft the features available to that software at any time after installation.

Initial installation of Altium Designer is performed using a wizard-based installer accessed by running a corresponding executable. The executable is downloaded from the Home page of the browser interface of your Workspace.

The installation itself is streamlined and expedient. This allows you to get the software installed and up and running in the quickest time possible. Once installed, you can further refine your installation in terms of available features and functionality.
