I don't know if it does or not. But I'd get away from the XP 64 OS as soon as possible. Win 7 is far more stable, and has many more drivers.
i am running it on win 7 64-bit. you can't use a serial hardlock, must be usb or network key because the serial hardlock drivers are not compatible with 64-bit OS.
How did you get it to install on a 64bit machine? Our IT guy says when he tries to install it, it says it cannot install because it is not supported on 64bit O/S? Thanks!
I would also like to know how this was installed for 64bit Windows 7. When I go to install, the installer says that I have a invalid OS
Hi just wandering if you could tell me how you installed CAiCE to your 64 bit? i'm in the same situation right now. Thanks. Jake
try these things and let me know if this works for you or not.
also, you will need to have a USB or network license lock to use caice with win 7, because I couldn't find dirvers that would work with the parallel lock. alternatively, you can get a dongle emulator that runs on your computer for a few hundred.
attached image as proof that caice 10.1 w/ sp8 is running on win7 64-bit pro.
Thanks much for the info. Can i skip the ACAD/LandDesk 2004 installation? Instead, I'm also running Autocad/Civil3D 2012.
if you are using caice 10 or 10.1 you need to install acad 2004 first because there are some files that are shared and caice will freak out. i found this out the hard way and it took forever for me to debug the issue.
you can have both 2004 and civil 3d 2012 installed on the same system. just make sure that your dwg file associatioins don't switch to 2004 after the install. if so, you can change them back inthe control panel.
Thanks for the instructions. I have installed CAiCE, but when I run it I get the popup window "Authorize Specific Products" there is nothing in the list??? Any thoughts. Thanks
As you know Caice is no longer supported by Autodesk. However, Autodesk will provide authorization codes for licensed Caice installations. Our IT department uses the following installation system, which works, for installing Caice on a Win 7 x64 o/s. Not sure if you are able to download the previous versions noted below. We had done this before Caice support was dropped, you will have to try to download these files if you do not have them already.
Network versions of Caice will not install on Win 7 x64, you will have to install the standalone version:
# 1Installl 10.0 CAiCESP5FULL standalone installation
#2 Make sure you have a client ID and a proper serial number
- You will need a 5 digit Client ID for the last validation step (validate.exe) and an 8 digit serial number to do the initial installation (setup.exe)
- If you have a longer 10.1 serial number I am assuming Autodesk will provide you with a 10.0 serial number which has 8 alphanumeric digits
#3 Install the Program
- First, there is a subfolder in the installation directory called SUPPORT\SENTINEL that has an old RainbowSentinel.exe driver install, rename this file so it doesn’t get used
- Second, run the setup.exe (run as administrator), we do a full custom install
#4 Update the Service Packs
- These are downloaded from the regular Autodesk site, you need four service packs for 10.0SP5 - 6A,7,8,8hotfix
- Right-click each SP exe and select run as administrator otherwise it will fail
#5 Find the VALIDATE.EXE program in the SUPPORT\SENTINEL folder described above
- Run the Validate program, record Machine Identifier, repeat for other computers
- Email tech support (or create a support request) and send the client ID along with all machine identifiers
- You should get back an email with a 20 –digit activation code for each computer
- Run the Validate program again (very important to right-click and run as admin) and fill in the user name and company name and the 20-digit activation code
- When you click OK it will tell you the process will take a minute and you should see a tiny activation window and then an error message that it couldn’t activate referencing CAiCE version 6, this is normal
- Run CAiCE once as administrator to allow some registry settings to be created
- Run CAiCE normally, it should work this time
