Installing Multiflash

Before You Start

Note: Installing Multiflash requires administrator rights

Your access to KBC software is controlled by the terms of a license agreement with KBC. These access rights are embodied in a license file that defines valid features, dates and number of users. The access rights could be granted to an individual machine ("Standalone" licensing) or to multiple concurrent users at a location ("Network" licensing). Make sure you know how Multiflash is licensed for your use before starting the installation.

If you are using Standalone licensing, make sure you have the license file and any security key to hand
If you are using Network licensing, make sure you know the name of your license server for KBC software products.
If you are migrating from a previous installation of Multiflash 4.X or earlier, managed through an RLM license file (network or standalone) or an Infochem USB dongle, please see Migration to SLM

Consult your local administrators if you are in any doubt.

Machine Requirements
