Note: 
* Local TUFLOW licences are associated with the USB dongle. All computers running TUFLOW must have Licensing Dongle Drivers (CodeMeter RunTime Kit) installed and the USB hardware dongle plugged in for a simulation to initialise''.''
* The TUFLOW exe is not an installer. TUFLOW is a standalone console application. As such, with exception of the Codemeter licencing software, no installation is technically required. If you are new to TUFLOW and need advice how to run a TUFLOW simulation, please complete the eLearning training referenced in the following bullet point.
