Installation Guide

 

Notes:

1) Local users will need Administrator privileges to install the software.

2) You should remove any Hardware Locks that have been plugged into the computer.

3) Any Anti-Virus or Malware Software should be disabled temporarily prior to starting the installation. Make sure to enable these when the installation has been completed

4) These installation notes assume that AutoCAD 2022, 2023 or 2024 is installed and functioning properly.

 

Failure to do these things may result in an incomplete installation causing the program to not function properly.

 

Note: If you need to install Router-CIM on a different computer and want to transfer your information, please read the 'Installing on a Different Computer' section of the installation manual.

 

The Router-CIM program is installed in the following manner:

 

Insert the Router-CIM Installation DVD and it will start automatically. If the installation does not start automatically, navigate to D:\SETUP.EXE (where D: is the CD ROM drive letter) and double-click the SETUP.EXE file.

 

The Router-CIM serial number will determine the installation options. The serial number is located on the Router-CIM DVD ROM case. If Basic Nesting was purchased, it will be installed automatically.

 

The install will search for Router-CIM files in the default location. If your version of Router-CIM was installed to a drive other than C, you can re-direct the setup process to locate the folder in the proper drive by clicking on Browse and then selecting the correct drive location.

 

The install procedure searches for AutoCAD on your hard drive, and uses this location to build icons to run the Router-CIM program.

 

When the installation program starts, the following screen will appear:

 

Install_Welcome

 

From here, all of the default selections have been made for you.  

 

Select 'Next' to continue, or 'Cancel' to exit from the installation.

 

 

Install_License

 

This is the license agreement for Router-CIM. Be sure you read the agreement. Selecting ‘I do not agree to the terms of this license agreement’ will allow you to exit the program without installing it to your computer. Selecting 'Back' will return you to the previous window. Select ‘I agree to the terms of this license agreement’ and 'Next' to continue.

 

 

Install_Folder

 

Router-CIM will specify the location for installation. You may select 'Next' to continue, 'Back' to go to the previous window, or 'Cancel' to exit from the installation.  

 

You should remove any hardware locks that have been plugged into the computer.

 

Install_Serial

 

Enter your serial number that is supplied to you with the software. The default database location is on your C: drive in the RcimData folder.

 

You may select 'Next' to continue, 'Back' to go to the previous window, or 'Cancel' to exit from the installation.

 

Install_DBStructure_Change

 

This notification screen will appear informing you that the SQL Database will be updated upon completion of the installation. If you are running a shared database between multiple Router-CIM users, you will need to make sure all users accessing the database are updated to the same version.

 

You may select 'Next' to continue, 'Back' to go to the previous window, or 'Cancel' to exit from the installation.

 

Install_Ready

 

This screen will recap where Router-CIM is going to be installed to.

 

You may select 'Next' to continue, 'Back' to go to the previous window, or 'Cancel' to exit from the installation.  

 

Note: If an existing copy of Router-CIM is found on the computer in which you are installing, you will see this screen:

 

Install_Existing

 

You may select 'Next' to continue, 'Back' to go to the previous window, or 'Cancel' to exit from the installation.  

 

 

Install_Progress

 

The installer will start copying files to the necessary locations in this section of the install.

 

The SQL Server is the second section of the installation. The install will extract some more files and then check your computer for versions of AutoCAD, SQL Server and Microsoft .NET Framework versions.

 

This section may take a while, please be patient and allow the installer to finish.

 

During this step, the Crystal Reports installer will run.  You will see a screen like the following:

 

Install_SAP

 

 

The next step will appear when this is finished.

 

Install_Hardware_Locks

 

The Sentinel Protection Installer will run next to install the hardware lock drivers. This is usually pretty quick and you may see some windows open with a black background while this is installing.

 

Once that is finished, the install of Router-CIM is completed and the following screen will appear:

 

Install_Successful

 

Note: After the Router-CIM Installation, Router-CIM will check to see if an update is released if the option for 'Download and Install the latest RCIM update, if available' is checked.

 

Select 'Finish'.

 

You will see a message requesting you to reboot your computer. The installation is not finished until you reboot your computer.

 

Install_Reboot

 

If you select 'No' at this time, a reminder screen will appear.

 

Install_Reboot_Forget

 

Once a reboot has been completed, the installation of Router-CIM is complete. There is a USB lock for a USB port that will need to be plugged in at this time.
