Administrator rights are required on the computer to install the software. After installation is complete, administrator rights can be revoked. Administrator rights are not required to run CADWorx.
Installing the software on a network drive is no different than installing it on a local hard drive--specify the target installation drive and folder, and the software is installed accordingly. Some networks protect installation folders from subsequent modification. As such, CADWorx Design Review requires setting the access rights to the installation folder to write, read and modify in specific folders.
Because CADWorx uses data files specific to the installation that you may need to modify, these files cannot be located in the protected installation folder. Anyone who needs to modify IFC Configuration files must have Full Control permissions to the IFC_Configurations sub-folder.
Although the actual name of the software installation folder can be user-specified, the sub-folder names are fixed and created automatically during the installation process. Renaming any of these sub-folders causes the software to generate errors and fail.
