Compatibility
2.9.0 release target; source-documentation evidence
Package applicability is under review; follow the stated version and platform limits.

Before starting

Use the intended JoSIM®-Pro 2.9 package and its matching manual. The owner selected 2.9 for publication; this guide does not claim the final release is already available.

Install the supported SUN Magnetics License Manager and keep the issued JoSIM®-Pro licence file. A valid licence is required to simulate; degraded startup permits only limited inspection and recovery.

Keep a writable working directory for copied circuits, included models and new output files.

Install and launch

  1. Run the supplied JoSIM-Pro-<version>-Windows-AMD64.msi for the intended release. Review its identity and signing information before installation.
  2. Keep Create Start Menu shortcut and/or Create Desktop shortcut selected for a GUI launcher. Select Command-line PATH integration if you want new terminals to find josim-pro-cli and optimum-cli.
  3. Launch JoSIM®-Pro from the installed shortcut. Its target is the installed JoSIM_Pro_GUI.exe.
  4. Complete the licence check. After correcting a real configuration/service problem choose Retry; use Continue degraded only for its permitted inspection/recovery functions.
  5. Copy the complete supplied examples into a writable folder, open that folder in the GUI and follow the JTL first-simulation guide.

Command-line checks

Run these checks in a new terminal after installation. A version response confirms executable discovery, not a valid extraction or simulation licence.

josim-pro-cli -v

Check the first run

The GUI opens and its licence check succeeds for the intended JoSIM®-Pro installation. The CLI reports the intended version.

Open a complete writable copy of JTL_Example.cir and follow the linked first-simulation guide. Accept only a completed current run with the expected traces and time coverage; retain its new data output.

A visible GUI, a version response or an importable API alone does not prove licensed simulation. This installation draft has not been executed end to end.

If the problem remains

If the command is unavailable, open a new terminal after installation, or run the CLI from the actual installed bin directory. Check whether PATH integration was selected before assuming the application is missing.

For a licence failure use the actual diagnostic to check the configured licence filename and licensing-service availability, then select Retry. Continue degraded does not enable simulations.

If simulation cannot find an included file, restore the complete copied example and correct its reference. For AND_Example.cir, keep base_cells.cir alongside it.

Retain the package, executable/version, operating-system/architecture and exact error for support; exclude licence keys, System ID contents and private circuit data from public reports.
