DELMIA Ortems: How to REQUEST & INSTALL a DSLS license on PHYSICAL MACHINES

  Ortems ​​​​​​​HowTo ​​​​​​​Technical 

Why select DSLS licensing mode, rather than Sentinel?

  • No need to install DELMIA Ortems prior to request the license key file
  • The full process is quicker for DSLS than Sentinel => you will receive your license sooner
  • In the future, DSLS will be the only licensing mode available

In order to request DSLS license keys, you need to identify the “Computer ID” (also called “Target ID”) of the computer on which the DSLS license key will be installed. “Computer ID” is the technical term used in product manuals; “Target ID” is a generic term used in the License Key Request Order process.

 

Prerequisite:

As explained in our install_config_mp_ps_2023_us.pdf documentation (available in \\help\\documentation\\ folder), to use Dassault Systèmes’ license system (DSLS), the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Update 3 Redistributable package (32- or 64-bit version, as applicable) must be present on all the server and client computers that are going to run the DELMIA Ortems applications. If you need to install it, you can find the setup files in the Tools folder provided with the DELMIA Ortems installation package.

 

Step-by-step process to retrieve and install a DSLS license key file for DELMIA Ortems:

Download the DSLS license Server setup file

  • Navigate to https://software.3ds.com/ 
  • Then click on 3DEXPERIENCE and V6
  • From this screen, choose: “3DEXPERIENCE R2019x” Release and “3DEXPERIENCE R2019x Golden” level and find the following in the list:

  • Download the file

Install your DSLS Server

All instructions are located within the zip file you just downloaded.

  • Extract all to hard-drive
  • Open the DSLS.pdf file and follow the steps

Check that the client firewall, server firewall, network equipment and security software are properly configured. The TCP (HTTPS) protocol must be allowed from client to server typically on port 4085, or another port number if your server is configured to listen to a non-default port number.

Computer ID

There are two ways to identify the Computer ID:

  • Open the software “License Administration Tool(By default: C:\\Program Files\\Dassault Systemes\\DS License Server)

This “Computer ID” is located on the “Server Definitions” tab

Or

  • launch the software DSLicTarget.exe using the command prompt and add –t at the end.

This software is located on the zip file at the following path (xxx\\Part_DS_LicenseServer.AllOS\\1\\DS_LicenseServer\\1\\Windows64)

LKO

If you have the required DSx ClientCare role to create the LKO yourself, create it specifying:

  • Gen. Type = DSLS (instead of Specific)
  • Type = SRV

If ever you cannot create an LKO by yourself, please contact your usual license provider (sorry, the DELMIA Ortems Support team can not generate the LKO or provide a license directly without an LKO).

Reminder about product trigrams (at least 1 OPS or 1 OMP is mandatory)

Installation of the license key file

Concerning the installation, you need to:

  • Open the software “License Administration Tool” (License Server Administration), ensure that the status of your server is “Connected” otherwise Right Click and Connect it.
  • Click on the License menu and Enroll

  • Select the file you received from the KMC team (LICZ extension)

NOTE be careful where have saved the file, the screen shot below shows a file path that is normally rights restricted

 

Configuration of DELMIA Ortems to switch on DSLS license keys

  • Open the DELMIA Ortems “Environment management” module
  • Navigate to Administration > Advanced settings (formerly Advanced Parameters in the menu, to be changed in future releases) menu
  • Change the Licensing mode to 3DS Licensing

Enter in the Address path field, the name of the license server (or its IP address) followed by “:4085” (here the example is for a local installation, not for a license server that will serve other computers, then we entered "localhost").

Click on the test license server button to check your installation.

Test if you now can connect to DELMIA Ortems

Now the process is completed, you should be able to launch each DELMIA Ortems module such as Data Module, WIP Control, Planning, etc.
