- 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.
- Temporarily disable antivirus and Windows Defender real-time protection during setup — installers that copy licensed components are frequently false-flagged.
- After installation, re-enable antivirus protection and add the program folder to the allowed list if your policy requires it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it run in a virtual machine?
Yes, EPLAN runs well in a VM; license server connectivity must be ensured.
Can older projects be opened?
Projects upgrade forward; a converted copy is created while the original stays untouched.
What is the Data Portal?
An online parts database that pulls manufacturer data into projects — the account product here provides access credits.
Is a license dongle required?
Licensing uses a license manager or dongle; a trial mode exists for evaluation.

Tips from Real Projects
A panel shop rebuilt its standard library as EPLAN macros with value sets; a new variant machine went from order to schematic-ready in one day instead of one week. Standards live in macros, not in the memory of the senior draftsman.
