Problem Description
I am attempting to install or update COMSOL from an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) environment. I am unable to use online documentation and/or send emails from COMSOL to a IPv6-SMTP server.
Solution
Installation:
Download the offline installation media (ISO file for Windows®/Linux®, DMG file for macOS) from the download page from an IPv4-capable environment.
Transfer the installation media to the IPv6 environment using, for example, a USB stick.
Update:
Download the manual update .dat file from the update page from an IPv4-capable environment.
Transfer the update file to the IPv6 environment using, for example, a USB stick.
Email:
Starting COMSOL with the flag -ipv6 makes connections to IPv6 SMTP servers possible.
Linux®/macOS:
./comsol -ipv6
Windows®:
comsol.exe -ipv6
Documentation:
Online documentation is not available over IPv6. To use the documentation, install the documentation locally during the installation.
