Downloading & Installing Nucleo


IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from an older version of Nucleo:

      - Follow the separate Knowledge Base instructions on how to update your license first with the latest major version's password.
      - You will need Administrator rights to perform this.  
      - If you use a floating-license for accessing Nucleo, ensure the license server is updated with the latest major version's password.
     - This will require IT assistance. 
      - If this is not performed, you may see "Missing Security Device" message upon starting the application. 


1) Download the Full Installation - Nucleo V2024 Full Installation

Website - Nucleo Downloads



Press the Download Button to save the ZIP file.

2) unzip the installation to a temporary folder.



3) Right-click and "Run As Administrator" the SETUP_20??.EXE in the same folder (it will have a numeric extension where the question marks are). This will install the SolidCut CAD module that Nucleo is built upon.

4) Agree to the License Agreement, and choose the default options for the dongle style, installation path, etc. Check the option to run the Online Update.

5) Install all options available in the setup options.

6) If the nucleosetup.exe file is included in the same folder as the main setup exe file, it will be launched at the end of the SolidCut CAD installation. Follow the default prompts to complete the Nucleo installation part.

NOTE: If you are just installing a newer version of Nucleo for use in the same core SolidCut CAD, you can just launch nucleosetup.exe to install just the Nucleo part. A shortcut icon will be made for each Nucleo version, for example:



  These 2 Items will be found on your Desktop.

The current Release as of March 25 is 2024Q1-198

This allows you to run and maintain different Nucleo versions within the same core SolidCut CAD environment.

7) After completion, it should be ready to use (assuming the licensing installation requirements have been completed).
