Installing Bizagi Studio

Before You Start​

Make sure your machine meets the requisites presented in the Bizagi Studio system requirements.
Ensure you have a 64-bit operating system installed.

At this point, you should already have the Bizagi Studio official installer ready (as described in Downloading Bizagi Studio).

Installing Bizagi Studio​

Follow the steps below to install Bizagi Studio.

Note:
If you are installing Bizagi with the default database, SQL Server Express 2017, ensure that C++ Redistributable 2017 is uninstalled before installation. You can reinstall it afterward.

1. Run the Installer​

Run the installer with administration rights. start

2. Select Installation Language​

Choose your preferred language for the installation process. start

Note:
If the installer detects a pending reboot, it will prompt you to restart your machine before continuing. After the reboot, the installer will resume automatically.start

If Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 is not installed or the version is outdated, the installer will prompt you to install it.start

3. Welcome Window​

Click Next on the Welcome window of the installation. start

4. Accept the License Agreement​

Review the terms of the Bizagi Studio license agreement, accept them, and click Next.

start​

5. Select the Database to Use​

  • If you don't have a SQL Server database installed, choose the option to include a local installation of SQL Server Express 2017.

    • Default credentials for SQL Server Express 2017: - LOGIN: sa - PASSWORD: BizagiBPM123 start

      Note:
      SQL Server Express 2017 is not compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
      If you have an incompatible operating system, install Bizagi Studio and configure a compatible SQL Server database separately.

  • If you already have a compatible SQL Server database installed, choose "Verify access to a SQL Server database already installed." Enter the Username login and password (SQL Server authentication) in the next window, then click Login to verify the connection. start

  • You can also choose to skip this step (e.g., if you plan to use an Oracle database). Note that proper database configuration will be required later to create a Bizagi project.

6. Advanced Options​

If you don’t have an Enterprise subscription, ensure that the Setup for Studio Services Enterprise checkbox is not selected, then click Next. start For Enterprise subscriptions, select the checkbox and fill in the required field. start

7. Select Installation Path​

  • To install Bizagi in the default path (C:\Program Files...), click Next.
  • Otherwise, click Browse to choose a custom directory. start

8. Review Preferences​

In the next window, choose whether to allow Bizagi to check and notify you of new updates.

  • To enable notifications, mark the Check for updates checkbox.
  • Click Next to proceed. start

9. Start Installation​

Click Install to start the installation process. start

Note:
Bizagi will automatically install required components such as Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 (and dependencies like Visual C++ Redistributable) if they are not already installed.

start

Once the installation is complete, a confirmation window will appear. Click Finish.

Note:
A system reboot is required for proper operation after installation.
