Obtaining an Exalead CloudView License

The NETVIBES SearchDoc installation requires an Exalead CloudView license.

Before starting the installations, you must obtain a license for Exalead CloudView. For customers who have any of the designated SIMULIA Established Products license trigrams, you can request a special license key for Exalead CloudView.

You must identify the host computer on which you will install and run the SIMULIA documentation with Exalead CloudView and give the host ID to Dassault Systèmes in your license key request.

Follow these steps to obtain the license:

  1. Choose the Windows server or Linux server machine on which you will install the documentation and Exalead CloudView search engine.

  2. Go to https://www.3ds.com/terms/software-keys.

  3. Follow the instructions under License Key Tools > Exalead Host ID Generator to download and run the nghostid.bat or nghostid.sh tool.

    This tool gives you the host ID of your server. It is formatted for Exalead CloudView, which is similar to an Ethernet/MAC address.

    Note: This host ID is different from the SIMULIA DSLS target ID.

  4. Contact your local sales or support office to request the special Exalead CloudView license key. Give your sales representative your host ID.

    Request the license type SERVER, not NODELOCK. The free license you receive is valid for one year, which is the default term for all Dassault Systèmes licenses.
