Introduction
The following guide is designed to give instructions on how install Pivotware software from version 7.1 onwards. The purpose of this article is also to help users to understand our product architecture as well as defining any requirements that our products may have.
From version 7.0, we use feature management to manage the licensing of our software's functionality instead using our traditional methods using product numbers and license keys. Furthermore, from version 7.1, it is no longer necessary to use Desoutter supplied hardware for any Pivotware software installation; the software can be run on any machine that meets the minimum requirements specified.

Infinity Client
Installation Requirements
From version 7.1, it is no longer necessary to use Desoutter supplied hardware for any Pivotware software installation; the software can be run on any machine that meets the minimum requirements specified.. The minimum requirements for the Infinity Client host machine are as follows:
Infinity Client Minimum Requirements | |
Desktop OS Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) Disk Space Display I/O Network | Windows 10 (64-bit) x64 2.4 GHz 4-core 4 GB DDR3 64 GB 1280 x 1024 (Tactile Monitor Recommended) 2 x USB (1 for Infinity ONE access, one for admin access) |
Running Requirements
In order to run the Infinity Client application it is required to have a Infinity ONE software key attached to the host machine by USB.
With an Infinity ONE software key inserted into an host machine of Infinity Client, the Infinity Base feature is automatically activated giving users a limited base functionality of the product. Additional UV can also be stored on an Infinity ONE software key in order to activate more advanced functionalities within the Infinity Client software.
Device Name | Desoutter Part Number |
Infinity ONE | 615 927 8670 |
![]() | For more information about PRIM's and Feature management see here. |
When running, the Infinity Client application requires certain parameters to be set on the host machine in order to function normally. Some of the following settings are mandatory whereas others are optional; all settings seen below are recommended for optimal performance.
Setting | Parameter Value | Description | Risk | Mandatory? |
Account Type | Administrator | The Windows account running Infinity Client must be an administrator or have equivalent account permissions to ensure there are no issues accessing required application resources. | Inadequate account permissions can cause unexpected behaviour in Infinity Client, affect performance or stop Infinity Client from launching/running. | |
User Account Control | Never Notify | User Account Control must be "turned off" in order to deter Windows from showing full-screen notifications when accessing administrator level resources. | Infinity Client HMI can be blocked when these notification appear. | |
Domain | N/a | The Windows account running Infinity Client must be not be impeded by a connected domain. The account must have administrator privileges or equivalent account permissions in order to ensure there are no issues accessing required application resources. | Domain and group policies can affect user permissions on a local machine. Inadequate account permissions can cause unexpected behaviour in Infinity Client, affect performance or stop Infinity Client from launching/running. |
When running, the Infinity Client application requires certain ports to be open in order to operate normally. Please see below for required network ports and information about their purpose/configuration.
Port | Type | Description | Configurable? |
2620 | TCP | TCP Communication between Infinity Client and legacy Infinity Builder | |
2620 | TCP | TCP Communication between Infinity Client and Infinity Module (Builder) | |
