Installation
============
This CD contains the following installation options:
- Install Software: Use this option to install HFSS(tm) on your local machine.

- Install Libraries: Use this option to install the libraries
on any machine that HFSS can see from the network. Installing the libraries
on a remote machine allows multiple users to share a common
HFSS libraries database.

Note: If you want to install the HFSS libraries on your local machine,
you can do so during the HFSS software installation.

- Install Remote Simulation Manager: Use this option to install Remote
Simulation Manager on your local machine.



ANSYS Workbench Integration
===========================
The HFSS 13.0 installation wizard will prompt you to integrate with ANSYS 13.0 if it
detects that an ANSYS 13.0 installation is present on the computer. You may choose
to integrate HFSS with ANSYS 13.0 during the installion, or at a later time by
selecting the 'Modify integration with ANSYS 13.0' option from the HFSS 13.0 Program
Folder.
