Follow these steps to download and install the NLINK Server and any associated tools you have licensed from Junot Systems.

NLINK 8x should be installed in a production environment only on the Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019 operating systems. In a non-production environment, NLINK may operate perfectly well on other Microsoft operating systems (e.g., Windows 10 or Windows 11) but will not be supported by Junot Systems should you run into difficulties.

For hardware requirements, see NLINK Hardware Requirements.

Step-by-step guide

Check for Previous Installations

NLINK installations come in a number of flavors depending upon the situation:

  • Full NLINK installation

  • NLINK OEM installation

  • NLINK ADC to SAP Solution

  • NLINK OPC to SAP Solution

  • NLINK MES to SAP Solution

If you are switching between any of these types of installations then you MUST uninstall the previous version first. Perform the un-installation through the Windows Add/Remove Program function.

If you are simply upgrading an existing installation to a newer version of NLINK you can install without performing an uninstallation first.

You can download NLINK from your Customer Portal page on the Junot Systems web site. More details here

You can download a temporary license from your Customer Portal page on the Junot Systems web site. More details here

Run the installation and follow the steps in the Wizard. (The various options you need will depend on your particular use of NLINK.)

After the installation is complete, copy the license file to the installation directory.  

  • For NLINK 6.x (or earlier), the default installation folder for 32 bit operating system is C:\Program Files\Junot Systems and for 64 bit operating system it C:\Program Files (x86)\Junot Systems.

  • For NLINK 7.x (or later) default installation folder is  C:\Program Files\Junot Systems.
