aspenONE Overview
All AspenTech products are released on a set of DVDs that will guide you
through your installation, regardless of the applications being installed.
This installation guide presents the steps to suite- or product-specific
installations only.
Packaging
Included in your package from AspenTech, you will find the following items
that you will need prior to installation:
Letter notifying you which products are licensed
Package of DVDs (see Installation DVDs below)
License file (only if a dongle has also been shipped to you)
Instructions on how to run the License Utility (if a dongle is not used)
Installation DVDs
The DVDs associated with the aspenONE release include:
Aspen Documentation DVD includes all AspenTech documentation. This

includes all manuals (in PDF format) and standalone versions of Help files.
This DVD is not used in the product installation process, but can be used
separately to browse the documentation and install PDF documentation.
aspenONE Product DVDs includes a number of DVDs that contain the

installations for Aspen products. For a complete description of the
contents of those DVDs, refer to the aspenONE Deployment Guide.
Start Installation
To begin an installation, insert the appropriate DVD into your DVD drive. You
will be prompted to configure your license information prior to installation.
Aspen Administration components (SLM Server and Aspen Security (Aspen
Framework)) and some Aspen Engineering products do not require a license
to install. For all others, you must configure the license information before
you can install. When the products are determined to have valid licenses, the
AspenTech Installation Browser will request the products or product set that
you want to install and request applicable DVDs as needed. Alternatively, DVD
content can be shared from a network server.
AspenTech Installation Browser

The AspenTech Installation Browser provides a mechanism for users to
validate their product licenses and browse through the products that they are
licensed for prior to installation. The AspenTech Installation Browser contains
two tabs, Administration and Products.
1 Introduction
From the Administration tab, you can install the Aspen Administration
products Aspen SLM, Aspen Security (Aspen Framework), Aspen SLM tools,
and aspenONE Diagnostics.
From the Products tab, you can browse for and install individual products.
The Installation Browser will guide you in determining your licensed products
based on your license configuration.
The AspenTech Installation Browser also includes links to Aspen Technology
support centers and web sites for contact information, product updates and
other resources. A link is also provided to easily access the license
configuration wizard to determine which products you are licensed for
installation.
Clicking Install starts the process during which you will select the products to
be installed on your computer.
For more information, see the aspenONE Deployment Guide.
Aspen Documentation DVD

Before installing any AspenTech product, be sure to print and read the
installation guide and release notes documentation for each product you
intend to install. All AspenTech installation and reference documents (in PDF
format) and standalone versions of Help files are included on the aspenONE
Documentation DVD.
Each product-specific installation guide contains critical information about
system requirements, product dependencies, and post-installation
configuration procedures. The release notes for each product contain
information on new features, software fixes, and known problems and
workarounds.
For Aspen CAPs, the following documents are available from the aspenONE
Documentation DVD:

1 Introduction
Required Hardware
The hardware requirements for installing CAPs are the same as the
requirements for Aspen SCM. For details, see the Aspen SCM Installation
Guide.

The CAPs require the following software:
Shared libraries. Each CAP depends on several shared libraries. By default,

these shared libraries are installed to the following folder:

If you install the shared libraries to a location other than the default
folder, you may need to modify the $TCASES table. For details, see the
CAP ReadMe file.
Aspen SCM Release V7.3. Each CAP has different requirements for SCM
modules. For details, see the Implementation Guide for each CAP.
Web browser (required for CAPs Help) Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or
Netscape Navigator 4.7 or higher.
Required Software Settings

In order to display Aspen SCMs user interface elements correctly, you must
specify certain settings in SCM and in Microsoft Windows.
Examples:
SCM dialogs are developed to fit into the space provided by a Workspace
frame. Dialog display can be truncated if the appropriate settings, such as
screen resolution, are not in effect.
Dialog buttons and labels are affected by font size and mono- vs. variablespacing.
