Default Installation Directories

The default directories where the software and its components are installed, including where the license file is stored, vary by platform and user type.

If you want to select specific components to install or if you want to install the software in a non-default installation directory, then do a custom installation (Windows and Linux only). In the table, <user> stands for the user name and <version> for the version of Thermo‑Calc, for example 2025b.

Also see Installed Examples, Manuals, and Materials Folders to learn all the ways to access this information.
