* The minimum CATIA 4.0 licenses required in order for the PC-DMIS CATIA 4.0 DCI to function properly with a model are the same that would allow the model to be opened, modified and saved in CATIA. Any lesser licenses will not be sufficient.

** SolidWorks 2007 does not support Windows Vista; however, PC-DMIS 4.3 and later does support Windows Vista. Therefore, PC-DMIS 4.3 installed on Window Vista does not support the SolidWorks DCI with SolidWorks 2007 or older. Solidworks DCI is supported with PC-DMIS 4.3 and later on Windows Vista with SolidWorks 2008 only.

The minimum licenses cannot be specifically defined because the ability to open, modify, and save a CATIA model will be somewhat dependent on the content of the model itself.

† R19 support in Catia 5 DCI was added to PC-DMIS 4.2 MR2 but not PC-DMIS 4.3 Release because 4.2 MR2 was released after the 4.3 Release.

Follow the appropriate installation instructions listed in "Installation Overview" to set up your CAD system to directly interface with PC-DMIS for Windows.
