Updated: 4/27/2017

It is imperative that you consult your IT team before you install any software or attempt

to change any settings on your computer. Administrative rights are based on a profile

created by your System Administrator. Many variations are possible, and these “rights”

may not allow you to install this software properly.

Note: This process takes about one hour or less to complete. Inventor Professional must be installed in order to install Inventor HSM Pro.

Prepare Your System for Installation

1. Disable the User Account Control (set to Never notify).

2. Disable your antivirus software.

3. Disable the pop-up blocker in the browser you are using.

Note: You can re-enable these settings after the software is installed and

operational.

4. Make sure you have permissions to install USB drivers for any Android™,

Robotics or other devices which will connect to the computer via USB.
