Trialling and Buying Arc

IMPORTANT: To trial, buy or update licenses the browser hosting the Arc user interface needs to be able to access the internet. If you are accessing Arc on a server it is possible that you will not be able to connect to the internet, if you have issues connecting try using your desktop computer instead.

The latest version of Arc will always be available on the Arc download page:

Once downloaded, unzip the folder and copy arc.exe file into the folder where you want to install Arc. In this example we copy Arc to C:Arc folder:

To start Arc, just double click on the arc.exe.

Arc can be installed as a Windows service by following the steps described in this article:

• Setting up Arc as Windows Service

Once started you can access Arc using the URL http://localhost:7070 if you are on the server or http://ServerName:7070 to access it from your desktop (replace ServerName with the name of your server).

If you are still getting the blue pop-up when trying to access a developer features, it means that your trial license expired. In this case you need to purchase or activate a subscription.

Once the trial period has expired to continue using Arc you will have to purchase a subscription by clicking to the License Management button:

If you have selected an organization, you will be able to choose how many users you want to purchase. You need to buy a user for each TM1 developer/administrator that will be accessing Arc. You can change the number of users after you purchase Arc.

In the last step, you can either enter the credit card detail to the card which will be charged every month or year depending on your subscription or choose the offline payment option. When using a credit card you will be sent a notification 3 days before the subscription is renew so you can cancel if required.
