DesignXpert and Discovery Tips & Support

At the core of our business is our dedicated Netformx DesignXpert and Discovery users that continue to grow and expand how they use the tools. We thought we would share some of the recent tips our CSM’s have been providing to users.

  1. Installing DesignXpert when using Windows 11:
    1. If you have trouble installing DesignXpert in a Windows 11 environment this could be due to 2019C++ libraries that are already installed.
    2. Recommended steps are in the DesignXpert Installation Guide under “Applications”.
    3. The Guide was provided with your subscription email and serial number.
    4. Contact support@netformx.com if you have trouble locating the Installation Guide.
