System Requirements
The minimum requirements/recommendations for running the Arena software are as follows:
¢ Arena software, version 10.00.
¢ Microsoft® Windows® 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3 or later), Windows Server™ 2003, or Windows XP (Service Pack 1 or later).
¢ Internet Explorer 5.01 or later. (This does not need to be your activebrowser, but some Internet Explorer components are necessary for Arena to work.)
¢ Adobe® Acrobat Reader 7.0 or later to view documentation—available on the Arena CD. (Windows 98/Me users will need to install Acrobat Reader 6.0 due to compatibility issues. Visit the Adobe Web site for suitable Reader downloads for Windows 98/Me.)
¢ Hard drive with 75-250MB free disk space (depending on operatingsystem and options installed).
¢ Access to a 3.5" diskette drive is necessary to use master disk activation (not necessary with FactoryTalk Activation).
¢ 64MB RAM (recommended 128MB RAM or higher, depending on operating system).
¢ Minimum Pentium processor 300Mhz or higher.
Note: The running and animation of Arena and some large simulation models can be calculation-intensive, so a fasterprocessor with additional memory may result in significantly improved performance. In addition, a larger monitor and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 is recommended for improved animation viewing.
¢ Under Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows Server™ 2003, and Windows XP, you must have Administrator privileges to install the software.
Arena Software Installation Steps
1. When you insertthe Arena CD, the autorun program should start. If it does not, browse to autorun.exe on the CD and double-click it to start the installation.
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 or the Activation Certificate included in the red envelope in your product package. If youare confused on which type of activation you have, see Activation Notes below.
Note: You may receive multiple serial numbers if you have add-on products. Only the serial number from the Arena product (e.g., Arena Basic Edition or Arena Professional Edition) should be entered.
3. When choosing a location on the PC’s hard drive to install Arena, please note that Arena will be placed in asubfolder of the one you specify. For example, if you install Arena 10.0 and specify the install folder “C:\”, the software will be installed in the “C:\Arena 10.0” folder.
4. At the end of the Arena install, you will see an option to install the activation for Arena. This refers to Master Disk Activation. If you are installing software for evaluation or runtime or have FactoryTalk® Activation™, thisoption should be unchecked. Otherwise, check this box and insert your master disk to install the activation (see Activation Notes below).
5. After Arena installs, reboot your computer if requested.
Activation Notes
Most Rockwell Software requires some type of activation in order to expose full product functionality. Some products ship with a physical “master disk” for activating software. Weare now phasing in a new, streamlined electronic activation called FactoryTalk® Activation™. This document will assist you in understanding and installing all types of activation.
How do I know what type of activation I have?Your activation will be one of the following four types:|
Activation Type|How do I knowwhat I have|What do I need to do?|
