Once you have received your authorization codes your software will be permanently locked to that system. Our software does not transfer. Once authorized it lives and dies with that system. We are not capable of removing or restricting the access to previously authorized software.

So ensure that the system you are installing the software on is the most optimal location for its long-term usage. The software is capable of running on Virtual Machines.

To install Your CIVILD module(s) you will extract your .ZIP file that was downloaded from your link and run the installer inside of the extracted folder called “INSTALL.BAT”.

Alternatively:

You may also create a folder directly on the root C:\ drive and name it “civild”, minus the quotes, all lowercase. Then take all the contents of the zip file and extract them to the new folder directly. No subfolders.

The software will only run on the C:\civild location. This is a hard rule.

After the program has been installed:

• Go to the C:\\ Drive and locate the civild folder.
• Inside the “civild” folder find the program that you need to run as Administrator, ex. civild.exe.
• Right-Click the .exe

• Select “Properties”.
• Select the “Compatibility” tab, and select “Run this program as an administrator”.

The initial installer of the software must be an Administrator of the system. If the user of the software is not an Administrator then follow the below steps as the initial installing Administrator to allow the program to run as Administrator for your Non-Administrator user.

If your company does not permit end-users Administrator rights you can simply give the user Administrator rights to the Folder in which the software is housed. You will need to have Administrator credentials to perform the necessary actions to make this modification. So contact your Network Administrator to perform the below steps.

• For CivilDesign you will go to the “C:” Drive and find the “civild” folder. This is the root folder.
• You will Right-Click the “civild” folder and go to properties.
• In the Properties panel you will go to the Security Panel.
• In the Security Panel you will click the “Edit” Button.

• In the Select Users, Computers, Service Accounts, or Groups Panel you will enter the users FQDN, Fully Qualified Domain Name, into the “Enter the object names to select” and then click the “Check Names” button to the right. If you are logged in as the Administrator this change will go straight through. If you are not then you will be asked to enter your administrator username and password to allow for the changes you are making.
• The FQDN should complete. From here you would just click “OK”. If the name is not found you are not using the users Correct FQDN. If this is the case look at their username for Windows and check that this is the name you are entering and try again.
• After clicking “OK” you will be brought back to the Permissions Panel.
• In the Permissions Panel you need to check all the boxes available. In the Allow Column. Full Control is not needed, but ensure that Modify is selected along with Read and Write.
• When this is done you can click OK, then OK again to exit the Properties editor and the process is complete.
• As the user that needs the software go to the software folder and set program to Run As Administrator to confirm the settings are active. It should take automatically, but in some cases you may need to log out and back in, or simply restart the machine for the changes to take effect.

Civil Design Corp only maintains sold software bundles for 45 days. It is important for you the customer to back up your downloaded purchase and keep a copy of your authorization codes as they can always be reused with the same computer.

After this 45-day period you will have to repurchase a downloadable copy of your software for $50. If your software is not an up-to-date version you will have to repurchase a new license due to our inability to repackage older versions of the software.

In very few instances some installations can corrupt, usually after a windows update and give you an error code that ends with calling CivilDesign for support. In this instance a clean install is generally recommended.

 For this you will need to locate your original installation .ZIP, or CD.

1. Go to the C:\\ Drive and locate the civild folder.
2. This folder must be removed. Either delete it, or move it to a new location outside of the root C:\\ drive. You could rename the folder, but there are outlier events where the clean install did not work until the old folder is removed.
3. After the old folder is removed you will then reinstall the software as normal.
4. After this you will set the program to run as Administrator every time.
5. In windows explorer open the “C:\civild” folder.
6. Inside of the “civild” folder find the program that you need to run as Administrator, ex. civild.exe. or lar04.exe
7. Right-Click the .exe
8. Select “Properties”.
