FAQs
What other software and/or data components should I install to make use of functionality I want to access?
Solution
Starting with the 2023.1 release, the CSD Portfolio now offers more choice on what software and/or data components you can choose to install.
While we recommend installing all software and data that your licence allows you to use, the following table can be used as a guide for what software and data is used by other components of the suite.
Entries in parentheses are optional components that can be utilised by that program and/or functionality, but are not required.
