2023.2 Release Installation Notes

Video: CCDC Software Installation Step by Step - from 2023.1 release.

The new CCDC software installer allows you to only download and install what you need rather than updating all the CCDC software and data in one go. This results in a much smaller size installer. Once installed, you can update individual products and data separately as new versions become available, without the need for admin rights to your computer.
