Q: How long does it take to download software?
It is difficult to determine the exact amount of time it takes to download a file because there are many factors that can affect the download speed – such as connection type and network traffic. However, we list estimated download times for different size files and typical connection type. Keep in mind that these are only rough estimates and that your actual download time may vary.

Q: How do I know the file name of the software I downloaded?
When you click a file to download a message box with a warning will ask you what you want to do with this file. Click save to disk. The next message box will prompt you for a location and show you the filename of the file you are going to download. Take note of the filename and location.

Common causes and solutions for unsuccessful downloads Demand for downloads can be high the first week after a product release. You may be able to download faster if you avoid peak download hours (9:00 am to 6:00 pm EST). There are a number of reasons why you might receive an error message during the download process, find that the process hangs, or receive an error message when you try to unzip or open the file.
Simply re-downloading may solve the problem, but check the following issues to see if they may apply:

1. The temporary internet file too small to contain the file as it downloads. Enlarge the temporary internet: In Internet Explorer go to Tools > Internet Options
2. General tab Temporary Internet Files > Settings, and increase the “Amount of disk space to use” setting to 150 MB. (The default is 50 MB.)
3. You are using a download manager or download accelerator.
4. Download without the assistance of the manager or accelerator and this should solve the problem
   The browser you are using cannot handle such a large download file. Try downloading using another browser (for example Firefox instead of Internet Explorer).
5. There is not space available on your drive to expand the installer into the default TEMP directory. Clear your default TEMP directory and free up space on your hard drive.
6. You are selecting Open rather than Save when asked if you would like to open the file or save to your computer. Select the option to Save the file, then open the file when it has downloaded to your hard drive.
   If you are using a Modem you may need to decrease the transmission speed.
7. Try decreasing the data transmission speed before downloading.
8.  There is a software conflict with third party software.
9. You may need to remove the conflicting software or download the trial on another computer.
