Downloading and Installing

The latest versions of the OLI interface to Aspen Plus can be found on our download web site. You will need a current serial number that contains an expiration date to download the software. Such a serial number is:

V2-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX$$

Some installations are for network copies. For these installations there is a server serial number which is used to install the OLI License Manger Server program on a host computer somewhere on the network. OLI encodes an expiration data in such a serial number. With the network licence comes a client serial number. This serial number does not include an expiration date. We did not include an expiration date because it is far easier for network administrators to update the server program than to run around and update hundreds of client programs. Unfortunately this means that you as the user can not use the serial number on your client computer to download the software. Contact OLI for the server serial number and then you can download the software.

Installing the software requires local administrative privilege. We will write several files to a new folder containing the OLI chemistry generation routines plus some files in the Aspen PLUS program files tree. This tree may be write-protected on your computer. During the installation you will be asked for the client or stand-alone serial number provided by OLI.

We do have a short video on network installations for you to review.

OLI Currently supports the following Aspen PLUS versions V7.2, V7.3, V7.3.2, V8.0, V8.2, 8.4,8.6, 8.8, 9.0
