Software Requirements

Requirements Notes

Intel Fortran 9.0, 9.1,10, 10.1,11.0, 11.1, or12.0

Required for customer development of Fortranprocedures.

Note: Intel Fortran Composer XE 2011 includes IntelFortran 12.0.

Aspen Basic Engineering AdditionalRequirements

Hardware Requirements

64-bit Version of Aspen Basic Engineering Server

Starting from V7.3, Aspen Basic Engineering has a separate DVD containingthe 64-bit installation media. The 64-bit version includes a native 64-bitAspen Basic Engineering server as well as the 32-bit client applications. The64-bit Aspen Basic Engineering server is required by customers with verylarge workspaces and allows the server process to essentially growunlimitedly (up to 8000 GB) to address as much memory as is available onthe server machine. The 64-bit DVD can be used for server only or standardinstallations on 64-bit operating systems.

For 32-bit operating systems, use the standard aspenONE installation DVD.

Server Hardware

Resource Requirements

CPU 1 GHz minimum (2 to 3 GHz recommended).

The Aspen Basic Engineering Server combined with Oracledoes not perform well on a machine with less than a 1 GHzclock speed. (Oracle or SQL Server is required to run AspenBasic Engineering, see Software Requirements below.) Thereare two modes you can use:

Two-tier mode: (RDB Server and Aspen Basic EngineeringServer run on the same host). (Follow the RelationalDatabase (RDB) product guidelines for additional systemrequirements and add these to the overall Server systemrequirements if possible.) The RDB, especially Oracle,combined with the Aspen Basic Engineering Server will notperform well on a machine with less than a 1 GHz clockspeed. At least 2 GHz is recommended.

Three-tier mode: (the RDB exists on a separate PC). TheRDB does not greatly influence the middle tier hosting theAspen Basic Engineering Server other than some additionalmemory to operate its cache on the middle tier. You shoulduse a fast LAN connection between the Aspen Basic


Engineering Server and RDB Server Aspen Basic EngineeringV7.3 exploits multiple processor server hardware. Addingadditional processors can improve server response times.

Note: AZServer is extremely memory and CPU hungry – werecommend using a modern, fast dedicated machine for theserver.

Physical Memory 2 GB RAM minimum (4 GB recommended)

Note: Large workspaces (for example,1000 equipmentitems) can occupy up to 2 GB of memory each. If the servermachine is being used for multiple large projects, it shouldhave enough physical memory for all workspaces as well asother processes. Rule of thumb:

Physical memory requirement = 2GB + nw x 2GB where nw= the maximum number of workspaces runningsimultaneously.

Hard Disk Space 2 GB (recommended)

DVD Drive


Component Additional Requirements

Microsoft SQL Server2000 or 2005 SP3 or2008 R2

-or-

Oracle 9i EnterpriseEdition – Version 9.2

Oracle 10g StandardEdition – Version 10.2

One of these Relational Databases is required to run AspenBasic Engineering V7.3 to operate as a transactioned backingstore (the contents of these cannot be designed to be queriedby the user). These products can be installed before or afterinstalling Aspen Basic Engineering. The RDB software can beinstalled either on the Aspen Basic Engineering Server hostmachine, or on a separate machine on the same local areanetwork.

For Oracle, you must install Oracle OLEDB Client on the AspenBasic Engineering Server host machine.

Important Note: Only a correct and corresponding Oracledriver/client should be used in conjunction with the Oracleserver.Never mix Oracle client/driver versions and server versionsSevere maloperation can result by mixing driver and RDBMSversions from different Oracle installations.

Microsoft Access(optional, not availableon 64-bit operatingsystems)

Note: Aspen Basic Engineering installations can be tested withMicrosoft Access, especially on a Standard install where theserver and client are installed on the same machine. It can beused for some customization work that can be doneindependently of the final deployment environment. MicrosoftAccess must not be used in the deployment of Aspen BasicEngineering onto engineering projects for reasons of datasecurity in a transactioned environment.

Aspen Exchanger Design andRating Installation NotesV7.3.1 Exchanger Design and Rating (EDR) will not co-exist with the V7.3version of Exchanger Design and Rating. This means installing V7.3.1 EDRwill “upgrade” the V7.3 version if it was installed previously. V7.3.1 EDR canalso be installed on a machine where V7.3 EDR was never installed. Theinstaller therefore functions in 2 modes:

Mode 1 (“Upgrade” Installation): if V7.3 EDR has been installed, theinstaller will detect this and upgrade the V7.3 EDR installation toV7.3.1.

Mode 2 (“Full” Installation): if V7.3 was not previously installed on amachine, the installer will detect this and perform the necessaryfunctions to complete a full V7.3.1 installation.

In order to activate the V7.3.1 EDR installation, please select thefollowing option within the Aspen Tech Installation Browser - “AspenEngineering (for Upgrade)”:


If you select the Aspen Properties Sub-Option, have Aspen Properties V7.2installed:1. If you have no other AspenTech V7.2 products that depend on Aspen

Properties V7.2, Aspen Properties V7.2 will be replaced by AspenProperties V7.3.

2. If you have other AspenTech V7.2 products that depend on AspenProperties V7.2, Aspen Properties V7.2 will be left alone and AspenProperties V7.3 will be installed.

Aspen Economic EvaluationInstallation NotesV7.3.1 Economic Evaluation will not co-exist with the V7.3 version ofEconomic Evaluation. This means installing V7.3.1 EE will “upgrade” the V7.3version if it was installed previously. Customized libraries and projectscreated using V7.3 will be preserved during this upgrade. However, it isrecommended to back-up these files prior to performing this upgrade. Also,V7.3.1 EE can be installed on a machine where V7.3 EE was never installed;thus the installer will function in two modes:

Mode 1 (“Upgrade” Installation): if V7.3 EE has been installed, theinstaller will detect this and upgrade the V7.3 EE installation to V7.3.1.

Mode 2 (“Full” Installation): if V7.3 was not previously installed on amachine, the installer will detect this and perform the necessary functionsto complete a full V7.3.1 installation.

In order to activate the V7.3.1 EE installation, click the following option withinthe Aspen Tech Installation Browser - Aspen Engineering (for Upgrade):

Installing the Aspen Properties EnterpriseDatabaseThe AspenTech Installer looks for an existing SQL Server (2005, 2008, or SQLExpress 2005) installed on your computer. See the Troubleshooting sectionfor issues related to installing SQL Express.

Note: Due to problems encountered with MSDE and MS SQL Server 2000,Aspen Properties Enterprise Database no longer uses these SQL Servers.

If multiple SQL Servers of these versions are found, the installer will askwhich one to use:


Note: The server must be configured to SQL Server and Windowsauthentication mode before you can use it with Aspen HYSYS. See"Configuring Microsoft SQL Server or SQL Express."

At some sites, policy may prohibit the installation of SQL Server on individualcomputers. In this case, the legacy databanks may be used or Aspen Plusmay be configured to use SQL Server on a designated computer.

To install Aspen HYSYS without installing a SQL Server:

1 Create the following registry entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AspenTech\Setup]"NOSQLExpress"=dword:00000001

2 Install Aspen HYSYS as usual.

Note: The Enterprise databases are installed on C:\Documents andSettings\All Users\Application Data\AspenTech\APED V7.3 (orD:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\AspenTech\APED V7.3). This location cannot be compressed or thedatabases will not be installed. SQL server does not support databases oncompressed drives.Note: Aspen Properties Enterprise Database no longer uses Microsoft SQLServer Desktop Edition (MSDE) or MS SQL Server 2000 due to problemsencountered with these SQL servers.

In order to use the Aspen Properties Enterprise Database with correspondingAspen products (Aspen Plus, HYSYS, and so on), SQL 2005 SP3 is theminimum requirement as an install pre-requisite. Be sure to choose MixedMode (in the Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication) during


the "authentication mode" step of the SQL Server installation. If you are notusing mixed mode and have finished the Aspen installation, follow these stepsto ensure the mixed authentication mode is enabled.

For Microsoft SQL Server:

1 Run Start | Programs | AspenTech |Process Modeling V7.3 | AspenProperties | Aspen Properties Database Configuration Tester.

2 Click Start. An "Incorrect SQL Engine Authentication Setting" dialogappears. Follow the instructions, then click OK and it will correct theauthentication setting to Mixed Mode for you.

For SQL Server Express, the user interface for configuring the server is notinstalled by default. If you do not have it, download it from Microsoft:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en and install it beforeperforming these steps:

1 Run Start | Programs | Microsoft SQL Server 2005 | SQL ServerManagement Studio Express.

2 In the Connect to Server window, select the server name and WindowsAuthentication. Click Connect.

3 In the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express windowtree on the left, right-click the name of the server and click Properties.

4 In the Server Properties dialog, at the left, click Security.

5 Under Server authentication, select SQL Server and Windowsauthentication mode, and click OK.

6 In the object explorer, right-click the name of the server and selectRestart. The change will take effect after that.

Verifying the Aspen Properties EnterpriseDatabase Installation1 On the desktop, click Start | Programs | AspenTech | Process

Modeling V7.3 | Aspen Properties | Aspen Properties DatabaseConfiguration Tester.

2 When the Database Configuration Tester window appears, click Start.

The tester will perform several tests and report the results.

License availability: The tester verifies a license for Aspen Plus or AspenProperties is available.

Configuration file permissions: The tester verifies that the configurationfile was installed with the correct permissions.

SQL engine authentication settings: The tester reports all servers thathave at least one Aspen Properties database that is registered on thiscomputer. On the localhost line, it reports the authentication mode of thelocal server and whether there is any problem with it. For other servers itcannot check this status, so it only reports what is required.

o First, it verifies that it can connect to the database at all, witheither a Connection Successful message or a messageindicating the error that occurred.


o Next, it attempts to read the database as Aspen Plus or AspenProperties would do. This should report Granted/Successful ifthe database is configured for access from these programs, orDenied/Failed otherwise. For a non-customized new installation,the databases APV73, NISTV73, and FACTV73 should all beaccessible.

o Finally, it attempts to read the database as the DatabaseManager would do. This should also report Granted/Successfulor Denied/Failed based on the security options. For a non-customized new installation, the databases APV73, NISTV73,and FACTV73 should all be accessible.

Installing Aspen HYSYS Dynamics RuntimeTo install Aspen HYSYS Dynamics Runtime, you must install two AspenEngineering products:

Aspen OnLine InstallationNotesAspen OnLine consists of:

Aspen OnLine Server, which communicates with CIM-IO to retrieveplant data and with simulators – for example, Aspen Plus, Aspen CustomModeler, or Aspen Utilities Planner – to run models.

Aspen OnLine Client, which is the graphical user interface for AspenOnLine.

The Aspen OnLine Client is required, as a local client, on the computer whereAspen Online Server is installed.


Aspen Online DeploymentInstallation Notes If you plan to use versions of Aspen Custom Modeler, Aspen Plus, Aspen

Model Runner, Aspen EDR, or HYSYS that are earlier than aspenONE V7.3,install them prior to installing any software from the aspenONE V7.3suites.

The required software from the Aspen Manufacturing Suite V7.3 can beinstalled either before or after the software from the Aspen EngineeringV7.3.

A recommended implementation architecture, for a productionenvironment, is to use at least four different computers: one for theengineering workstation (to build and maintain the process models andonline applications, one for the Aspen Online Deployment onlineapplication server, one running Aspen Remote Simulation Service, andone running the Aspen APC Web Server. If you are using Aspen LocalSecurity, then this would typically be installed on the same machine asthe Aspen APC Web Server. The necessary simulators (Aspen CustomModeler, Aspen Plus, HYSYS, EDR) would be installed on both theengineering workstation and on the remote simulation server.

It is strongly recommended that all computers be members of aDomain. If the online application server is installed on a computer that isnot a member of a Domain (that is, it is instead a member of aWorkgroup), then you must install Aspen Local Security and Aspen APCWeb Browser on that same computer – this is due to the way Windowsuser authentication works.

If you use the Aspen Remote Simulation Server, change the serviceproperties of the Aspen Remote Simulation Server service to log on as theLocal System account and to interact with the desktop.


Aspen Online Deployment Post Installation Notes:Desktop No post-install configuration is required.

In order for the product to be useful, you should have one or more of thesupported versions of HYSYS, Aspen Plus, Aspen Model Runner, AspenExchanger Design and Rating, or Aspen Custom Modeler installed on thedesktop.

Aspen Process ManualInstallation Notes

Server Configuration Notes: Although you may be able to install the Process Manual on non-server

operating systems, these support a limited number of connections, so onlya few users will be able to access this system simultaneously.

Security restrictions in service packs to Internet Explorer require thedomain name (typically the same as the machine name) to only includealphanumeric, “.” and “-” characters. In particular, the underscorecharacter is not permitted. If the domain name has other characters, thencookies are not stored correctly and the Process Manual application willnot operate correctly.

Windows 2003 Make sure that the correct Windows components are installed; in

particular IIS and Active Server Pages (ASP), which are not installed bydefault.

o Start the Add/Remove Windows Components dialog.

o Ensure that under Internet Information Services that theInternet Information Services Snap-In and World WideWeb Server are installed.

Windows 2008 Make sure that the correct Windows components are installed; in

particular IIS and Active Server Pages (ASP), which are not installed bydefault. Using the Server Manager, ensure that the following are installed:

The configuration and verification of the Aspen Properties Enterprise Databaseis described below.

Configuring Microsoft SQL Server or SQLExpress

Note: Aspen Properties Enterprise Database no longer uses Microsoft SQLServer Desktop Edition (MSDE) or MS SQL Server 2000 due to problemsencountered with these SQL servers.

In order to use the Aspen Properties Enterprise Database with correspondingAspen products (Aspen Plus, HYSYS, and so on.), SQL 2005 SP3 is theminimum requirement as an install pre-requisite. Be sure to choose MixedMode (in the Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication) duringthe "authentication mode" step of the SQL Server installation. If you are not


using mixed mode and have finished the Aspen installation, follow these stepsto ensure the mixed authentication mode is enabled.


















Database access settings: The tester attempts to access each registereddatabase and performs three tests.

o First, it verifies that it can connect to the database at all, witheither a Connection Successful message or a messageindicating the error that occurred.


o Next, it attempts to read the database as Aspen Plus or AspenProperties would do. This should report Granted/Successful ifthe database is configured for access from these programs, orDenied/Failed otherwise. For a non-customized new installation,the databases APV73, NISTV73, and FACTV73 should all beaccessible.

o Finally, it attempts to read the database as the DatabaseManager would do. This should also report Granted/Successfulor Denied/Failed based on the security options. For a non-customized new installation, the databases APV73, NISTV73,and FACTV73 should all be accessible.

Aspen Remote SimulationService

Configuring Aspen Remote SimulationServiceThe service normally uses port 8093. You may need to change it in certaincases, such as if another program on that computer uses that port, or youneed to use a particular port to connect through a firewall. To change the portwhich the service uses, edit Program Files\AspenTech\Aspen RemoteSimulation Service V7.3\server.config in Notepad.

Locate the line

<channel ref="tcp" port="8093">

And change the number to the port you want to use, for example:

<channel ref="tcp" port="8099">

Running Aspen Remote Simulation Service(ARSS)Aspen Remote Simulation Service™ is a component that provides a remoteexecution environment for other AspenTech tools including Aspen SimulationWorkbook and Aspen Model Deployment. ARSS allows model developers todeploy models onto a server accessible to several client computers.

AspenTech simulation software must be installed on the server, but it is notrequired on the client computers. This significantly reduces the installationrequirements for the client computers.

Note that any remote software interacting with ARSS should have additionalspecific information necessary for its use; for instance, Aspen SimulationWorkbook includes the Aspen Remote Simulation Service Status Monitor anddocumentation on how to use it.

Tip: It is a best practice to use ARSS on the same computer as thesimulation-creating software.

Troubleshooting Aspen EconomicEvaluation (Aspen Process EconomicAnalyzer, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator,Aspen In-Plant Cost Estimator)Description

Users running Microsoft Windows with Windows Installer 3.1 may experiencecoexistence issues with Economic Evaluation V7.2 and previous versions asdescribed below:

1. The following aspenONE applications are installed on a machine:

a. EEV7.2.1 (or EEV7.2), EEV7.3

b. HYSYS and/or Aspen Plus V7.2+EPs

2. Invoking the Export to EE feature in either HYSYS or Aspen Plus

invokes EEV7.2.1 (or EEV7.2) instead of EEV7.3. This may occur ifnone of the EE installed software versions are run after installation.This is due to the windows installer resiliency behavior. Once theproblem occurs in one user environment, it is observed with all otherusers on that machine.

Workaround:

1. Update Windows Installer to version 4.5, which can be downloaded from

the following site.

a. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58

b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&displaylang=en

Note: See the installation guide on how to check which version ofWindows Installer is present on your system.

2. Ensure EE V7.2.1 (or EEV7.2)/V7.3 is executed as standalone application

before invoking EE via HYSYS V7.2 (or Aspen Plus V7.2).

3. In cases where the problem occurs, an upgrade/repair installation of EE

V7.3 can be performed by running the EE V7.3 installation again. The

procedure allows the EE V7.3 to be reset as the default costing feature w/

HYSYS /Aspen Plus V7.2.

Comment: Following the steps below on the system where EE V7.3 is

installed alongside previous versions of EE can avoid the aforementioned

issues.

1. Update the Windows Installer to version 4.5


2. Launch EE V7.2.1 (or EEV7.2) and allow the EE V7.2.1 Windows

Installer resiliency to go through, if this the first time EE V7.2.1 is

being launched under this user account.

3. After closing EE V7.2.1, Launch EE V7.3 and allow the EE V7.3

Windows Installer resiliency to go through, if this the first time EE V7.3

is being launched under this user account.

Troubleshooting Aspen Online DeploymentAspen Online Deployment has the following special troubleshootingprocedures.

Problem An online application reports that the solver failed.

Cause This can occur for a variety of reasons, from a failure to converge on asolution to a network communication failure.

Solution In order to solve the problem, you should first examine the localapplication log. This log is found in the \Documents and Settings\AllUsers\ApplicationData\AspenTech\RTE\V7.3\Clouds\Online\sys directory. The logis named with the application name and has the extension .log (forexample, the application HEATXN1 would have a log HEATXN1-solver.log); there is also a backup log file that contains older logmessages (for example, HEATXN1-solver_backup.log).

You can get more detailed information, including all the solver messages,by turning on diagnostic logging for an application. Turn on diagnosticlogging by using the APC Web Server to set the DebugPrint entry toFileOutput. You get access to the DebugPrint entry by clicking on theapplication name in one of the online views in PCWS. The diagnostic logfiles are in the same location as the application logs, but have a nameending with “-diag.log” instead of “-solver.log”.

Note: To avoid causing further problems with the software, make a copyof the log and examine the copy.

Examine the log file to see if there is a solver problem (for example,failure to converge) or a system problem (for example, an exception anda software procedure call stack trace).

If the failure was due to a solver problem, and the application wasconfigured to save a snapshot when the solver fails, then you can usethe Aspen Online Deployment Desktop to retrieve the applicationsnapshot matching the failed solution; you can extract the case file fromthat snapshot, load it into the simulator desktop, and determine thereason that a solution could not be calculated.

If the failure was due to a system problem, and the cause of the problemis not clear from the error messages in the log, then contact AspenTechSupport for assistance.



Microsoft SQL Server Setup msxml6r.dll Warning

When installing MS SQL Server 2005 or 2008 (including the Express edition)on non-English versions of Windows XP SP3, you may get a notice saying thatthe installer cannot update msxml6r.dll because the file is protected.

Troubleshooting Aspen OLI

Note: The Aspen OLI Interface is a subcomponent of the Aspen Plus andAspen Properties installations, not Aspen OLI.

Error messages resulting from the Software License Manager’s not finding alicense, and/or the OLI Security system’s not installing correctly will clearlyidentify which one is not functioning properly.

If the Software License Manager is not functioning correctly, the errormessage displayed on the Aspen OLI control panel will be as shown below:

Similarly, incorrect functioning of the OLI Security System will refer to the“OLI Security” and “OLI Engine” in the error messages. Both types ofmessages are shown below:


Dongle Not Attached Properly

You see an error message from the OLI Security System indicating that thedongle is not attached properly. In the OLI Security Error figure above, thered text indicates “key not initialized”

Solution

Check the dongle to make sure it is attached to your computer firmly. Also,ensure that the dongle is the first one in the port if you have more than onedongle attached to this same port.


Serial Number Does Not Match with the Dongle

You see an error message from the OLI Security System indicating that theserial number does not match with the dongle.

Solution:

1 On the OLI Security Error dialog box, click New Serial Number.

The OLI Security Setting message box appears. It displays your currentserial number.

2 Check this number to ensure that it matches the number provided to you.If it was typed incorrectly, then retype it in the Enter your new SerialNumber field.

3 If this does not work, the error message reappears, and you will need tocontact OLI for a new number.

Troubleshooting Aspen Remote SimulationServerWhen running Aspen Remote Simulation Server (ARSS), you may encounterthe following problems.

Problem Administrator Access Privileges Required

Cause You do not have proper access privileges for running ARSS.

Solution During the installation of ARSS, you are prompted for login information(username, password, domain) that will be used when the ARSS servicein starts up in Windows. The login account that you provide needs tohave administrator access privileges.

Problem Possible Security Issues with the Windows Vista Firewall

Cause Your firewall is not configured for ARSS.

Solution 1 The firewall in Windows Vista and later versions of Windows must beconfigured to allow communication between applications on theclient and server.


2 ARSS must be added to the application exceptions list in theWindows Firewall settings.

3 The port (8093 by default) that ARSS uses for communication alsoneeds to be added to this list.

Comments 1 If communication between client and server is still not working, thenyou can test whether the firewall settings are the problem bytemporarily turning off the firewall on your server and see if thatenables communication.

2 If you are still having trouble communicating with the ARSS, thenturn off User Account Control. This can be accessed in the UserAccounts section of Control Panels.

Troubleshooting Aspen SimulationWorkbookWhen running Excel with Aspen Simulation Workbook, you may encounter thefollowing problems.

Problem After installing Aspen Simulation Workbook, the Simulation Workbooktoolbars do not appear in Excel 2003.

Cause You may have clicked the mouse on other objects while the system wastrying to establish a connection.

Solution In Excel, click View | Toolbars to see a list of the toolbars. Click theAspen Simulation Workbook Design and Aspen Simulation WorkbookRun toolbars to make them active. If the toolbars are not included inthe list, Excel may have disabled Aspen Simulation Workbook. Go to thenext item in this table.

Problem After installing Aspen Simulation Workbook, the Simulation WorkbookToolbars are not available in the toolbar list, and the Aspen menu doesnot appear on the Excel pull-down menu structure. Similarly, for Excel2007 and later, the Aspen ASW ribbon bar tab is not present.

Cause Excel may have disabled Aspen Simulation Workbook.

Solution To check:

For Excel 2003:

1 Open Excel.

2 Click Help | About Microsoft Excel.

3 Click Disabled Items. If Aspen Simulation Workbook appears inthe list of disabled items, remove it.

6 If Aspen Simulation Workbook appears in the list of disabled items,remove it.


Problem After installing Aspen Simulation Workbook, the Aspen SimulationWorkbook Toolbars are not available in the toolbar list and the Aspenmenu does not appear on the Excel pull-down menu structure.Similarly, for Excel 2007 and later, the Aspen ASW ribbon bar tab is notpresent.

Cause This usually happens if the workbook is not registered correctly and failsto load. This may have occurred because Excel was open when theworkbook was installed.

Solution Users (running as administrators) can manually register AspenSimulation Workbook using the following command from a DOS window(Note: Shut down all instances of Excel before running this command):

regsvr32 "c:\Program Files\AspenTech\ Aspen Simulation WorkbookV7.3\ASWXLAddinLoader.dll"

Problem After installing Aspen Simulation Workbook, the Simulation WorkbookToolbars are not available in the toolbar list and the Aspen menu doesnot appear on the Excel pull-down menu structure. Similarly, for Excel2007 and later, the Aspen ASW ribbon bar tab is not present.

Cause Aspen Simulation Workbook Add-In may be disabled.

Solution To check:

1 Close Excel.

2 Open Aspen Simulation Workbook Add-In Manager, which isavailable from the AspenTech | Operation Support V7.3 (orProcess Modeling V7.3) | Aspen Simulation Workbook V7.3Start menu.

3 If Aspen Simulation Workbook V7.3 is cleared, select the check boxto the left; then click OK.

Problem After installing Aspen Simulation Workbook, the Aspen SimulationWorkbook Toolbars are not available in the toolbar list and the Aspenmenu does not appear on the Excel pull-down menu structure.Similarly, for Excel 2007 and later, the Aspen ASW ribbon bar tab is notpresent.

Cause This usually happens if the workbook is not registered correctly and failsto load. This may have occurred because Excel was open when theworkbook was installed.

Solution These steps will re-register the Aspen Simulation Workbook Add-in withExcel:

1 First close all existing instances of Excel.

2 Go to Start | Program | AspenTech | Operation Support V7.3(or Process Modeling V7.3) | Aspen Simulation Workbook |Aspen Simulation Workbook Add-in Manager.

3 If Aspen Simulation Workbook V7.3 is cleared in the AspenSimulation Workbook COM Add-in Selector, select it and click OK.

4 If Aspen Simulation Workbook V7.3 is selected, clear it and click OK;rerun the Aspen Simulation Workbook Add-in Manager and re-select Aspen Simulation Workbook V7.3


Troubleshooting Aspen Solubility ModelerWhen launching Aspen Solubility Modeler, you may encounter the followingproblem.

Problem While launching Aspen Solubility Modeler, you get the error message"Compile error in hidden module: This Workbook."

Cause Aspen Properties V7.3 add-in is not registered.

Documentation DVD The DVD that contains all documentation, help files,and so on for the aspenONE release.

OLE DB A specification for a set of data access interfacesdesigned to enable a multitude of data stores of alltypes and sizes to work together seamlessly. Theseinterfaces comprise an industry standard for dataaccess and manipulation that can ensure consistencyand interoperability in a heterogeneous environment ofdata and data types.

Role A grouping of logical users in order to ease themaintenance of assigning access rights. Control listsmay be assigned either to individual users, or to groupsto which users belong.

Role-Based Security Role-based security is used to authorize andauthenticate users of AspenTech applications and datasources. By assigning users to roles that define workactivities, administrators can grant security privileges tomembers of a given role instead of individual users.

Use Aspen Framework (AFW) Server or Aspen LocalSecurity (ALS) to establish roles and associate userswith them.

Server installation Installs files on a central server machine.

SLM The Aspen Software License Manager
