COMSOL® SOFTWARE VERSION 5.5 Installer Update

Released 25 février 2020

Note: These instructions are only applicable to the Windows® operating system.

COMSOL software version 5.5 installer update contains a fix for an issue that may, for certain combination of licenses, cause the installer to uninstall a LiveLink for CAD product during an update installation. The update applies to COMSOL software version 5.5 (Build: 292), version 5.5 update 1 (Build 306), and version 5.5 update 2 (Build: 352). The update can be applied directly to an installation of version 5.5.

If you have a version older than version 5.5 and a valid license that is on subscription, then perform a full installation of version 5.5 from the Product Download page, which will include all updates.

How to Apply the Software Update

Before proceeding with your installation, make sure that you close and exit any running COMSOL® processes or any software you have running that correlates to a LiveLink™ product you would like to update (Excel®, MATLAB®, PowerPoint®, or a CAD software).

To update COMSOL Multiphysics®, first download the COMSOL Software Version 5.5 Installer Update, then run the executable. After the installation is finished, the updated COMSOL Multiphysics 5.5 Installer will be automatically launched. Select an update method, then follow the steps to install the COMSOL software version 5.5 update 3.

If using the Windows® operating system, this is located in the File menu under Help. The listed version should be COMSOL Multiphysics® 5.5 (Build: 359).
