Installing Synthesis

To install Synthesis, open the installation program (e.g., "Synthesis8.exe") and follow the prompts. Before you install, please note the following:

Before running the installation program, make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Synthesis.
To perform the installation, you must be logged in with a user account that has administrative rights.
It is strongly recommended that you close all other applications during the installation.
After the installation, all Synthesis-enabled applications (i.e., Weibull++, ALTA, BlockSim, Xfmea and RCM++) will be located in the same application directory and available for activation. The applications that you choose to "initialize" during installation will also be accessible via the Windows Start menu and, if chosen, via shortcut icons on the desktop.
If you wish to uninstall an activated application from a computer (or if you otherwise expect to no longer use the application on that computer), it is important that you deactivate it before installing it anywhere else.
