Installation Notes
- After installation, re-enable antivirus protection and add the program folder to the allowed list if your policy requires it.
- Do not connect any USB license dongle until the setup program has finished completely.
- Launch the application once with administrator rights so it can register its components before first normal use.
- Reboot the PC once after installation completes — this finalizes driver and service registration.
- Temporarily disable antivirus and Windows Defender real-time protection — installers that copy licensed components are frequently false-flagged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can older projects be opened?
Projects migrate forward release by release. Keep a backup copy of the original project before converting it to a newer version.
Does it run in a virtual machine?
Yes, VMware or VirtualBox work for programming and testing; enable nested acceleration if you use the built-in simulator.
Which controller series is supported?
Check the release notes for the exact firmware matrix; each major version supports a defined controller range, and newer firmware usually requires a newer engineering tool.
Is a license dongle required?
Licensing is typically node-locked or dongle-based; a trial mode is usually available for evaluation.

Tips from Real Projects
For a machine-tending cell, KUKA System Software 8.6.10 cycle validation in the digital twin settled the throughput argument before any equipment was ordered. Three things made that possible: the station was built from the customer’s real fixture CAD, tool data was measured rather than assumed, and reach tests ran at full cycle speed before sign-off. Never trust a simulated cycle time to better than a few percent; measure the real cell before promising throughput to a customer.
