When prompted for a license, select "Installation without an I-Key" unless you have a physical USB dongle provided by Bosch.
The 2013 package is massive, often spanning multiple discs (DVD1, DVD2, DVD3 for 2013.1 and U/U1/U2 for later quarters).
Solving installation failures for versions (1, 2, and 3) typically requires addressing specific software prerequisites, "i-Key" license configurations, or data carrier read errors often discussed on MHH AUTO . Root Causes of Installation Failures
Users frequently encounter errors like or software protection alerts. Common technical hurdles include:
Some 2013 releases require a previous version (like 2012.x) to be pre-installed before the upgrade can proceed.
If using downloaded images, corrupt metadata can trigger "0x8007025D" errors during the setup process.
If you see "cannot be read" errors, try mounting the ISO using a virtual drive rather than burning physical discs. The Installation Sequence: Run the RB setup file from DVD1. Select your language and country.
If the installer fails immediately, check for conflicting old files. On 64-bit systems, navigate to %ProgramFiles(x86)% and ensure no residual folders from previous failed attempts are present. Activation and ID Generation: Installation itself usually does not require an ID.
Choosing the wrong license type (e.g., selecting "with I-Key" when no physical hardware key is present) can stall the installation. Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide
