The COMSOL Multiphysics Folder on The Start Menu
Depending on which COMSOL products and software components you have licensed and installed, the COMSOL Multiphysics 6.4 folder on the Windows Start menu contains a selection of the items in the following list:
•
COMSOL Multiphysics 6.4: Starts the COMSOL Desktop.
•
COMSOL Documentation: Starts the COMSOL Documentation window, from which you can access and search all the installed documentation. By default, the PDF documents open inside the COMSOL Documentation application; to instead open them in Adobe Acrobat, you need to modify browser settings for the Adobe PDF Reader add-on.
•
COMSOL Launchers: Opens a folder with launchers for the following additional COMSOL programs and utilities:
-
Setup: Starts the COMSOL Setup program, which you can use to add, remove, and repair COMSOL products and to change the license.
-
Uninstall: Starts the COMSOL Uninstaller. For more information, see Removing (Uninstalling) the COMSOL Installation.
-
Update: Starts the COMSOL Installer in update mode.
-
COMSOL Multiphysics Client 6.4: Starts a COMSOL Multiphysics client that can be connected to a COMSOL Multiphysics server.
-
COMSOL Multiphysics Server 6.4: Starts a COMSOL Multiphysics server that a COMSOL Multiphysics client can connect to.
For more information on running COMSOL in client–server mode, see Running COMSOL Multiphysics in Client–Server Mode.
-
LMTOOLS: Starts the FlexNet license manager control panel (LMTOOLS). For more information, see License Manager Installation on Windows.
-
For launching COMSOL Multiphysics with any of the available graphics rendering options — OpenGL® and software rendering — the following shortcuts are available: COMSOL Multiphysics 6.4 (OpenGL), and COMSOL Multiphysics 6.4 (Software).

This folder also contains launchers for COMSOL Multiphysics, COMSOL Documentation, COMSOL with MATLAB (if available), and COMSOL with Simulink (if available) which appear on the main COMSOL Multiphysics 6.4 Start menu.
