When installing Enscape, a wizard will guide you through the various steps of the installation process. To continue, you will be prompted to accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA) as well as the Global Consumer Privacy Policy (GCPP). Click Next once you have read and are ready to continue with the installation.

Language

You will be asked to select a language you want to use Enscape in and you can choose from a list of selected languages. English will be selected by default. If you are ready, you can simply click Install to continue installing.

NOTE: the language can be changed after installation, if required. The option to do this is found in the Enscape General Settings window under the Preferences options.

After clicking on the ‘Install‘ button once the language has been selected, the installer will proceed to install Enscape and all its subfeatures, but only for the currently logged in user.

It will be installed to the default location: C:\Program Files\Enscape

The installer will then run and you should see this in the installer window as shown in the following screenshots. Enscape will identify if a previous version is already installed. That version will automatically be uninstalled first.

Your chosen version of the Enscape plugin would then be installed.

You should then be able to open your CAD where you should see Enscape as a top level menu option, or as a Toolbar. If you can not see Enscape in your CAD, then you may need to enable it in the CAD’s workspace. To understand how to do that, please click here.

In case you are rolling back to an Enscape version before 4.0, you must uninstall Enscape manually before rolling back, to avoid issues.

You can see the Advanced button becomes available once you accept the license agreement, whereby you will be asked to select the Language. The Advanced button is available only at this point of the installation process and will give you additional options for the Installation Scope. As this option is only available on a fresh installation of Enscape, if you want to access these options again, then you will need to uninstall and reinstall Enscape first.

When you click on Advanced, it will allow you to specify a custom installation location by navigating to the location you want to install Enscape to by clicking the three dots on the right side of the destination path. Once ready, click Next.

In the next window you can specify where your Enscape license should be retrieved from. Choose Local to use licenses directly on your system (Fixed-Seat License or Floating License with a local License Server) or Remote to use a network license (Floating License with a remote License Server).

If you select Local you directly go on with the installation process by clicking Next.

After clicking Next, you can specify whether to install the plugin for only one specific CAD, multiple CADs, or for all CAD’s.

Your chosen version of the Enscape plugin would then be installed.
