Download/Installation Options

There are two versions of I-BEAM available.

  • Complete I-BEAM is self contained. Once you install Complete I-BEAM, all of I-BEAM's files are available locally on your computer. Complete I-BEAM does not require an open web connection to operate. User should periodically check this website to obtain updated versions of I-BEAM.
     
  • Web I-BEAM requires a web connection. Only the operating program of I-BEAM is installed onto your computer. Web I-BEAM uses approximately half the disk space as the complete version. However, you must have an open web connection to operate I-BEAM so that the operating program can access I-BEAM files. User automatically uses the most recent I-BEAM files as they are updated.

Currently, you can only download I-BEAM

Download I-BEAM if you wish to have I-BEAM available on a network to install onto more than one computer, or to copy I-BEAM to a disk for installation on other computers. The download option downloads I-BEAM, plus the other programs needed to operate I-BEAM, along with the installation program and instructions.

You can choose one of the following download/installation options

Important Information: Depending on the speed of your internet connection, downloading or installation may take anywhere from several minutes to several hours. During this time, your computer may appear to be frozen. Please do not reboot until the download/installation program prompts you to.

After installation, when you reboot, your computer may take longer than usual to come up. This is normal. Please be patient as your computer adjusts to accommodate I-BEAM.
