Installing GiD on Windows95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP
|
Installing the download version of GiD
|
- Download the file GiD8.x-win.exe.
Click here to go to the GiD Download Page.
- Execute Gid8.x-win.exe to
open the installation program (this is a self-extracting archive).
- The installation program will
create a program group containing a link to GiD and to the GiD User Manual.
- After the installation has completed
successfully, you can delete the self-extracting archive.
Now GiD is entirely operational, except that meshes are limited to 1000 nodes and 25 surfaces.
If you would like to use the full functionality of GiD without
any limitations, you will need to obtain a GiD Password. For a limited period of
time you will be able to obtain a 1 month password free of charge. In order to obtain
a permanent GiD Password you need to purchase a GiD licence. As a GiD licence
owner you will receive your personal licence number which entitles you to apply for
a permanent GiD Password in the GiD Password page.
When GiD asks for a password you can:
- Continue working with GiD without
a password. To do so press the Evaluation button. In this case the limitations
described above apply ( to register later go to the help menu, register option).
- Get a 1 month password. Go to
the GiD Password page, enter the information necessary and submit the form.
Your password will be immediately displayed on the screen. Entering this password
into the displayed dialog box will give you unlimited functionality of GiD
for one month.
- Get a permanent password. Go
to the GiD Password page, enter the information necessary, your personal licence
number and submit the form. Your password will be immediately displayed on
the screen.
Entering this password into the displayed dialog box will give you unlimited
functionality of GiD.
