Here in this post I am describing my experience of installation of UG NX 8.0 x64 bit on my desktop computer in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Edition Service Pack 1. First of all I want to share with you that whatever media I have got is saying that Files on this media are intended for use on 64 bit Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 platform only. So this is conformed that this will not work on any 32 bit machine having Windows XP x32 bit, Windows Vista 32 bit or Windows 7 x32 bit. After complete installation of UG NX 8 x64 bit on my computer I realize that the overall process of installation is very easy and same as the earlier posted procedure for UG NX 7.0











So First of all mount the DVD in the drive and run the Launch.exe as shown above. This will Show you the NX 8.0 Software Installation menu as shown below. From here you can View Documentation, Install License Server, Install NX or can Get Composite Host ID.
