Previous Installation and Licensing Guide: Installing IDL or ENVI for Windows Next

Introduction

You must have Administrator privileges or be a member of the Administrator group to install IDL or ENVI. If you do not have such privileges, the installation process cannot modify the system configuration of the machine, so it will fail. After you have installed IDL or ENVI, you do not need Administrator privileges to run it.

After you have installed IDL or ENVI (see Running the Installer), use the license wizard to retrieve and install a license. You can run the license wizard anytime by selecting Programs  IDL x.x  License Wizard or Programs  ENVI x.x  License Wizard from the Windows Start menu.


Warning
You must have Administator priviledges to install licenses or to start or stop the license manager.
