- Run the installer as administrator and keep the default path unless your company standard requires otherwise.
- If a controller or robot connection will be used, allow the software through the Windows firewall when prompted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it run in a virtual machine?
Yes, the engineering environment runs in a VM; use bridged networking for USB programming cables.

Control Expert is the successor of Unity Pro with the same project base; old Unity projects open after migration.
Can I modify code while the controller runs?
Online changes are supported; document them and fold them back into the source project the same day.
Is a license dongle required?
Licensing offers activation-based keys; a trial mode is available for evaluation.

A power-distribution yard standardized on online-change discipline: every hot modification was written on a printed change note and merged into the master project before the next shift. The plant that lost a summer to a diverged project understands why; the plant that never did should still follow the rule.
