Download Pinnacle Studio 18 User Guide

Appendix E: The installation manager
The Pinnacle Studio Installation Manager looks after the job of
installing Pinnacle Studio and any additional content included in your
purchase of the application.
Before you begin
For a trouble-free installation of Pinnacle Studio, we recommend a
number of preparatory steps.
Begin by confirming that your computer meets the minimum system
requirements for the product. Note that some operations, such as
AVCHD encoding, have more stringent requirements. For more
information, see “System requirements” on page 437.
Next, ensure that your Studio serial number is available. For a
downloaded copy of the application, you will find this information in
your order confirmation mail; you can also retrieve it from your
customer account. If you obtained your copy of Pinnacle Studio on
disc, the serial number will be found on the DVD sleeve. We
recommend that you keep a record of your serial number in a safe
place.
On some systems, it may be advisable to disable antivirus protection
before installing Pinnacle Studio.
Note: Pinnacle Studio can be installed on a system containing a
previous Studio installation: both versions will coexist.
