1 - Pre- requisites  

1.1 - Suggested readings before diving-in  

We advise you to get familiar with the following articles first:

1.2 - Minimum Software versions  

Pivotware and CONNECT-D minimum versions are:

  • Pivotware: 25.4.4.
  • CONNECT-D: 2.7.5.2.

1.3 - U-RIM and Licensing  

CONNECT-D and Infinity Client need an U-RIM (part number: 6159279480) to operate together.

It is important to note that the cost of CONNECT-D activation is included with Infinity Client.

2 - Setting- up CONNECT-D And Infinity Client  

2.1 - Overview  

The installation procedure for CONNECT-D  and Pivotware  adheres to the same protocols as their separate configurations.

However, the setup varies slightly:

  • CodeMeter  needs to be set up to handle multiple accesses to the U-RIM.
  • There is no activation fee via CVIConfig for CONNECT-D - it is crucial to confirm that CONNECT-D has recognized the Infinity Client prior to implementing any new configuration.

Moreover, there are three different installation and setup scenarios to consider:

  • CONNECT-D  and Infinity Client  are installed at the same time.
  • Infinity Client  is installed initially and used for a while before CONNECT-D  is introduced later.
  • CONNECT-D  is installed first, followed by the addition of Infinity Client .

While the installation method for each software remains the same, the configuration needs to be modified to fit the various scenarios.

2.2 - Installation steps  

2.2.1 - CONNECT-D and Pivotware first time install  

For fresh installation of CONNECT-D and Infinity Client, or installation of Infinity Client after the CONNECT-D was already installed, follow the steps outlined below:

  • Connect the U-RIM to your computer.
  • Install the CONNECT-D - refer to the Connect-D installation procedure.
    Complete the CONNECT-D System Configuration as outlined in the article.
  • Open your preferred web browser and navigate to WebAdmin | Dashboard (localhost:22352/dashboard.html).
    Click on Configuration , Server then Server Access.
    Ensure Network Server is enabled - Check that the Network Port is allowed on the computer.
    If the settings are incorrect, modify them and then click Apply. Wait for the parameters to be successfully deployed.
  • Install Infinity Client - refer to the Infinity Client installation procedure for guidance.
Once both systems are installed, jump to section 2.3 - Specific configuration steps.

2.2.2 - CONNECT-D installation with Infinity Client pre- installed  

To ensure a smooth installation:

  • Ensure Infinity Client is up-to-date, i.e. installed release is at least 25.4.4.
  • Open your preferred web browser and navigate to WebAdmin | Dashboard (localhost:22352/dashboard.html).
    Click on Configuration , Server then Server Access.
    Enable Network Server - Check that the Network Port is allowed on the computer.
    Click Apply.
  • Install the CONNECT-D - refer to the Connect-D installation procedure.
    Complete the CONNECT-D System Configuration as outlined in the article.


Once both systems are installed, jump to section 2.3 - Specific configuration steps.

2.3 - Specific configuration steps  

After installing both systems and before setting up the CONNECT-D for operations via CVIConfig:
  • Launch CVIConfig and use the Configuration Assistant as outlined in the CONNECT-D Quick Setup guide to establish your CONNECT-D. Transfer the configuration to the CONNECT-D.
  • Before proceeding to the next configuration step, click the Transfer Connect to PC button followed by Start Transfer.


  • Once the transfer is complete, open the Feature Management : the status associated to the CONNECT-D feature must be Included.


CONNECT-D and Infinity Client can now be configured as usual.
