Multisim is a powerful software for circuit design and simulation that is widely used by engineers, researchers, and educators. Multisim offers an intuitive interface, a large component library, and advanced analysis tools that help you create, test, and optimize your circuits.

But what if you need to use Multisim on a different computer or device without installing it? Or what if you want to run Multisim from a USB flash drive or a cloud storage service? In that case, you might be interested in Multisim 12 portable, a version of Multisim that can be run without installation or activation.

In this article, we will show you how to download and use Multisim 12 portable for your circuit design and simulation needs. We will also explain some of the benefits and limitations of using Multisim 12 portable compared to the regular version of Multisim.

The first step to use Multisim 12 portable is to download it from a reliable source. Unfortunately, Multisim 12 portable is not officially supported by NI, the developer of Multisim, so you will have to find a third-party website that offers it. One such website is pyosystibat/multisim-12-portable, which provides a link to download Multisim 12 portable as a zip file.

Before you download Multisim 12 portable, make sure you have enough space on your device or storage media. The zip file is about 400 MB in size, and it will expand to about 1 GB when extracted. You will also need a program that can extract zip files, such as WinZip or 7-Zip.

Once you have downloaded the zip file, extract it to a folder of your choice. You can name the folder anything you want, but we recommend something like “Multisim 12 Portable” for clarity. You can also move the folder to any location on your device or storage media, such as a USB flash drive or a cloud storage service.

To use Multisim 12 portable, simply open the folder where you extracted it and double-click on the file named “multisim.exe”. This will launch Multisim without requiring any installation or activation. You can also create a shortcut to this file on your desktop or taskbar for easy access.

Once Multisim is running, you can use it as you would normally do with the regular version of Multisim. You can create new circuits, open existing circuits, add components, perform simulations, run analyses, and save your work. You can also access the help menu and the online resources from NI if you need assistance.

However, there are some differences between Multisim 12 portable and the regular version of Multisim that you should be aware of. For example:

• Multisim 12 portable does not support automatic updates or patches. You will have to manually download and apply any updates or patches that are released by NI.
• Multisim 12 portable does not include all the features and components that are available in the regular version of Multisim. For instance, some of the advanced analysis tools and instruments are not included in Multisim 12 portable.
• Multisim 12 portable may not be compatible with some of the newer versions of Windows or other operating systems. You may encounter some errors or bugs when running Multisim 12 portable on unsupported platforms.
• Multisim 12 portable may not be legal or authorized by NI. By downloading and using Multisim 12 portable, you may be violating the terms and conditions of NI’s software license agreement.

Therefore, we recommend that you use Multisim 12 portable only for educational or personal purposes, and not for commercial or professional purposes. We also advise that you backup your work frequently and scan your device or storage media for viruses or malware before and after using Multis
