Is there any way to download and run properly Catia V5 on the latest windows 10 v20H2?

I recently have also some issues. I got a laptop with the newest Win10 20H2 Build 19042.867 installed on March 24. The Catia installation was successful but after i open it and for exemple open Tools--> Option Menu a message pops up and Catia crashes. Runtime exception ( click OK to terminate) I have R24, R26, R28, R29 Catia Versions and all of them have the same problem.

Laptop specs:

- DELL Precision 7550,

- Win10 20H2 Build 19042.867

- i7 10850H,

- nVidia Quadro T2000( 452.57 driver version) ,

- 16 GB RAM (2933 MHz)

on the 3DS website, it is shown as a certified Laptop, https://www.3ds.com/support/hardware-and-software/

I have already tried to reinstall CATIA, all the VC++ redistributable files.

On a Win10 1909 Version works just fine. Is it possible that the 20H2 is somehow not supported ?

If you have any suggestion please let me know. Thanks

Hi Dave,

after the installation of Catia, i install the DS license administrator but it does not open, so i can't create my .licz license file. So, when i open Catia ofcourse everything is grey. Concerning my pc, it's a created pc (not manufactured), but i saw the requirements before choosing the parts, and it's fully compliant with Catia V5 system requirements.

Hi Thomas

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

Catia 5 should run on the latest version of Windows 10, their website indicates there should be no problem, what difficulty are you encountering installing and running that software?

What is the Make and exact Model No. of your PC, that will be printed on a sticker on the bottom casing of your PC

They recommend the minimum system specs are:

Intel i5 Processor

Dedicated graphics card (not integrated graphics)

8GB of RAM

10GB Free Hard Disk space

Microsoft Office for report generation . . .

Hi neilpzz,

yes both my questions relate to Catia V5. So what you say is that i can't copy the licz file, but i can copy the license? in that case whhich is the license file?

You've asked a question relating to this product before. Does this relate to the same problem, if it does then it's the licence that you require to run this software on a new device.

I copied the .licz file for the license of Catia from my computer using windows v1909 to my pc with the latest version, and it says that this file was created with an other computer id.
