Installing ETABS 22

Step 1: Disable Your Antivirus

Before starting the installation, you must turn off your antivirus.
If you’re using a specific antivirus software, disable it temporarily.
If you’re using Windows Defender, follow these steps:

1. Press Windows + Q and type Virus & threat protection in the search box, then click on it.
2. In the window that opens, click Manage settings.

3. Turn the switch from On to Off.
4. If a confirmation window appears, click Yes.
   The window should now look like this (as shown in the tutorial image).

Step 2: Extract the Downloaded File

Once your antivirus is disabled, extract the downloaded file (unzip it).

Then, double-click on the file named Setup.exe to start the installation.

Step 3: Start the Installation Wizard

1. Click Install.
2. Click Next.

3. Choose the first option, then click Next again.
4. You may enter your name and organization/company name (optional).
5. Choose the installation drive and folder — it’s recommended to keep the default path.
6. In the next window, select the last option under the license options and click Next.
7. Continue clicking Next until the activation window appears. Then, click Close.

Wait for the installation process to complete, and finally click Finish.

Step 4: Apply the Crack

1. After installation is complete, go to the installation folder and open the Keygen folder.
2. Double-click on the file Etabs_V22_kg_lavteam.exe.

A window will appear asking for a password.

3. Open the text file inside the same Keygen folder and copy the password.

4. Paste it into the password field and click OK.
5. Once the black command window disappears, your crack file will be generated.

Now, copy the two files shown in the guide image.

Step 5: Replace the Files

1. Go to the software installation path (default or custom, depending on your earlier choice).
2. Paste the two copied files into this folder.
3. Additionally, open the CsiLicensing folder and paste the same files there as well.

Step 6: Run ETABS 22

That’s it!
The software is now fully installed and ready to use.
You can launch ETABS 22 from your desktop shortcut or directly from the installation folder.
