Run the installer: Setup_Eplan_Electric_P8_29_SP1_Update_4_x64_Updated.exe
Select Components: Choose "Electric P8" only. Unless you use Eplan Fluid or Pro Panel, leave those unchecked to save time.
Post-Install Actions:
- Terminal Strip Editor (TSE) Lag: When working with terminal strips containing >200 levels, dragging to reorder terminals still has a 1-2 second delay.
- PDF Export Hyperlinks: Exporting a project sheet to PDF sometimes strips internal hyperlinks if the page name contains a hyphen (-). Workaround: Use underscores instead of hyphens.
- Dongle/License Server V2.20: Under heavy load (15+ concurrent users), the license server may require a manual restart weekly. Eplan promises a fix in Update 5.
