What
you will need:

Approximately
25-30 minutes

A

·
You
should see a file named “envi56-win.exe”. COPY this file somewhere on your personal computer. DO NOT attempt to
install this file over the network, it can and will cause issues during the
install.
·
You can now launch the file you downloaded to
your machine. Any location will work, as long as it is
on your computer, (e.g. This PC > Desktop).

After launching the installer, in the windows
that appears, click “Next”.

DO NOT SHARE
YOUR ACTIVATION CODE WITH ANYONE OUTSIDE OF YOUR ESCI 442/552 CLASS.

enter your license code in the box shown. Afterwards, click “Activate”, and if
all goes well, you will see the message “Activate succeeded!”.

At
the conclusion of Spring quarter and you are done using the software, in the
Harris License Administrator, click on “Deactivate Local License” on the left,
select your license from the list, and click on “Deactivate”. If all goes well,
you will see the message “Successfully deactivated!”.


After
6/30/21 the software will no longer be licensed and will not work. So please uninstall
ENVI/IDL from your computer, otherwise it’s just occupying space.
