Experienced users may want to skip this section, as you will have gone through a very similar process before. For those who want to leave nothing to chance, though, let’s step through what you can expect during Maxon App download and installation.
If you’re starting from the very beginning, you’ll likely visit www.maxon.net/en/downloads and download the Maxon App from the Downloads page just like any other application.
More likely, you’ll have a previous installation of Maxon App on your system and will encounter an upgrade prompt like this:
Click the Update Now button. As the program package downloads, you should see an indicator bar advancing.
When downloading completes, Maxon will prompt you to proceed into installation. Click the Quit and Install button.
Maxon App should not require administrator privileges to install unless your system has an existing policy for such a requirement. If so, please involve your admin as needed. Otherwise, click the Yes button to proceed with installation.
You will now see the Maxon Installer screen. Click Install to continue. Note that Maxon App manages its own storage destination. Users may not select a different installation target location.
You should now see an installation progress indicator, as shown below. As with other software, there is a small chance that installation could lock up before completion. If this happens, try uninstalling Maxon App (if the option exists), then run through the installation process again with as few applications as possible running in the background. Anything that can be closed should be closed.
Once installation finishes, you will see a black window with the words “Starting up…” After a moment, this will turn into the Maxon App loading screen and then the final Maxon App dashboard, which will look much like the interface shown here.
Installation is now complete and successful. It’s time to manage your Maxon applications!
At the bottom of the programs list, you’ll see a Mobile Apps section. These titles are not installable via Maxon App. Rather, they offer a doorway to learn more about the applications while also showing their licensing status. Clicking the INFO button or Learn More (via the three dots icon) will get you to the same Maxon product page.
