Installing MagicDraw
To install MagicDraw 18.0 on your computer, proceed as follows:
- Start the installer (e.g. MagicDraw_180_sp6_win64.exe for MagicDraw 18.0 Standard Edition) to install MagicDraw.
Refer to the MagicDraw pages for more help on the MagicDraw installer. - We recommend choosing English as default language, so that it corresponds to screenshots and explanations in the user documentation.
- Please use the Java Runtime delivered in MagicDraw as suggested during the installation (option Use the Java VM installed with this application).
- On Windows systems, install MagicDraw to a folder different to C:\Programs if possible.
During the installation of the BUILDER plugin, the installer writes some files to the folder to which MagicDraw has been installed. If you installed MagicDraw to C:\Program Files, you need to provide the BUILDER installer with administration rights. Unlock the application with the valid license key you received from us. MagicDraw will ask your for a license on start-up.
