Question:

How can manufacturer catalogue data be installed or updated retrospectively?



Answer:

To install or update manufacturer catalogue data, such as the reinforcement connections from ERICO-Lenton, at a later date, please proceed as follows:

Firstly, you need the latest installation package for your version
You can find this either on Allplan Connect (www.connect.allplan.com), or from our webdrive at

https://webdrive.allplan.com/s/4LrjrymoxESzC6p

The installation packages can be found under
Allplan/"Version"/Installation package

(Click on the three dots to the right of the file size and select Download)

Note: Do not download all files (that's about 450GB!), but only the installation package for the version you need.

Copy the zip file to your local computer.


1. please open your STD directory of the central file storage via the Allmenu of the Allplan version to be updated.




2. please close all running Allplan applications and the Allmenu in the company again

3. rename the Prod subdirectory in the STD directory you have just opened to Prod_old

4. now unpack the ZIP file of the version you have just downloaded in an empty directory and then start AllplanSetup.exe by double-clicking the left mouse button




5. please select "Update" when asked for the installation option



6. when asked for the licence to be used, simply select "Use active licence"
7. under "Setup type", now select the Customised variant​​​​​​​



8. you can then first decide again on the languages to be installed

9. in the following window, you can select the manufacturers from which you would like to install the current catalogue data for the products. Please make your selection here.​​​​​​​



10. then you will be asked for the country packages, which is usually easy to confirm.

11) Finally, you will see a small overview window in which you can start the update installation.

After successful installation, the current catalogue data should now be available when using the functions for the reinforcement connections and can be used without any further messages.​​​​​​​

Ideally, have these instructions carried out by your IT service provider/administrator.
