Overview

This guide applies to Vericut Verification and Vericut Drilling and Fastening (VDAF) software.

Considerations before Installation

Prior to installing your software, some of the menu options you’ll see during the installation require you to know what Vericut products you purchased so you know what to select during the installation process.

📝 NOTE: Administrator privileges are required to do the following:

  1. Configure license servers.

  2. Install Microsoft redistributable run-time libraries.

  3. Modify Windows security settings on your PC to install the base software. Check with your IT administrator about your security settings prior to attempting installation.

Take a look at the PC requirements and the License Server configuration before installing the software. Before installing a license server, determine whether you need a Stand-alone or Network configuration.

Installation Terminology

  • Client Computer — The computer that runs the Vericut software.

  • License Server Computer — The computer running the license server program. It may also run the Vericut client software concurrently

  • License Server Program — The program providing licenses for Vericut. Vericut requires a license, so the License Server Program must be running for Vericut to operate. Vericut uses the Sentinel RMS license server program from Thales Group. The license server program and Vericut communicate using TCP/IP network protocol. Only one Sentinel RMS license server program may run on a computer.

Vericut System Requirements

⚠️ IMPORTANT! ⚠️ Always check the Vericut System Requirements webpage for most up to date requirements.

These are the minimum requirements to run Vericut but performance can be affected by simulation tolerances, CPU speed, and number of available CPU cores.

Workflow

All installations should follow this basic framework:

  1. Begin with the Basic Installation process.

  2. Continue to Basic License Server Configuration as needed.

  3. utilize Basic Troubleshooting if issues arise.

Most installations will not need to do additional work beyond that basic workflow. The remaining sections of Installing Vericut Products deal with specialized installation processes that may be relevant on a case by case basis.
