multisim installation

[Danny.]

Sorry, but my English is very poor (my tailor is rich!!!  ).

I have used in the past, Ultimate Technology for the design of electronic circuits, this software don’t exist anymore, and is not compatible with Windows 8.1(no Lpt1 port available to use the software dongle), therefore, I was oriented to Multisim.

I have downloaded the trial version, and also buy the follow version NI Circuit Design Suite - Student Edition - windows Download (no DVD)

The ZIP file : NI_Circuit_Design_Suite_13_0_Education.zip

The product key : B**P*****

I unzip the file into the following map : C:\Users\Danny\Downloads\NI_Circuit_Design_Suite_13_0_Education

And this is the result:

(Map) Licences

(Map) Products

(Map) Supportfiles

-       autorun.exe

-       Autorun.inf

-       nidist.id

-       patents.txt

-       readme_deu.html

-       readme_eng.html

-       readme_jpn.html

-       setup.exe

-       setup.ini

None of the 2 exe files leads to a proper installation

Kan somebody help me to install this software?

Tanks for the help

Sorry, but it don’t work, I only see the following message: Insert the National Instruments ELVISmx 4 x DVD to install now.

But I don’t have a DVD, I only downloaded the software from STUDICA.COM

Please help

Hi Danny,

When to get the ElVISmx screen, Circuit Design Suite has already beeen installed, you can look for the executable by clicking the Windows Start>>ALl Programs>>National Instruments>>Circuit Design Suite>>Multisim. We don't add icon on your desktop.

You don't need to install the ELVISmx DVD unless you have the hardware.

thanks for your reply, but it is the trial version that comes up instead of the purchased.

Hi Danny,

Studica should have provided you with a serial number usually through email, use it to activate the software to make the trial version change into a Student version. The serial number format begin with a letter, two numbers, another letter then 5 numbers, looks something like this: A12B345678.

Hi Stien, step by step …   how many steps to go?

I became that number from Studica (mentioned in my first message), but still problems to activate that software

See the attachement ScreenShot213.jpg and ScreenShot214.jpg

I don’t have a User Profile, so I create one...

But this is Student software, what shall I do with the Organisation
