 Version 1.4.65 is available for download here

A couple of issues have been addressed in the updated version of the 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Eligibility Checker Tool (version: 1.4.65). The brief summary pertaining to these changes can be found below:

NVIDIA driver Fix for Security Vulnerabilities:

As per Support News, for all certified Workstations supported with driver 471.68 driver, driver 472.98 is considered a compatible driver.

However, as the Cloud Eligibility Checker Tool just relied on the list of Certified Workstations to compare the data, this driver fix was not being considered. The newly-promoted version of the tool addresses this issue. To be precise, if the driver version is updated to the version "472.98" to address security vulnerabilities, the tool aptly shows this version as OK

SOLIDWORKS Connected Level:

The SOLIDWORKS Connected Installation check was not working well. Even when the updated level of SOLIDWORKS Connected i.e. FD02 was present on the client workstation, the tool was highlighting the level as SOLIDWORKS Connected FD00. 

The fix for this buggy behavior has been provided in version 1.4.65 of the tool

Apart from these, a few minor modifications like the integration of newly certified workstations and improvements related to VDI are also made a part of this version.

Kindly ensure that you download this new version of the tool and check your readiness for the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform on Cloud

Summary of changes implemented in 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Eligibility Checker (1.4.64):

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on Cloud has been upgraded to the 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x FD02 level. To be in line with this upgrade, the Cloud Eligibility Checker Tool is also improved considering multiple aspects. This new and updated version of the tool includes a few new features, enhancements, and bug fixes as well.

A brief summary of all the alterations done during this upgrade can be found below:

3DEXPERIENCE Launcher:

The 3DEXPERIENCE Launcher now supports the http protocol. The tree ports potentially used for http are: 20250, 33150, 44550
The Cloud Eligibility Checker Tool is modified to take into account these default http ports used by the 3DEXPERIENCE Launcher.

Note that a different port number can be added in the troubleshooting panel whenever the default ports are blocked or unavailable. You may refer to the "3DEXPERIENCE Launcher" paragraph in the Upgrade Guide for more details

Support Policy for Windows 10:

A few changes have been implied in the Support Policy for Windows 10 for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform On Cloud. 

The Windows 10 Version 21H1 (i.e. Version 2009) was added to the list of certified Windows 10 OS Versions. Older versions like 1803 and 1809 are no longer supported for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform On Cloud.

AMD Graphic Card:

The Cloud Eligibility Checker Tool has been improved to support most of the Graphic Card Drivers from the manufacturer AMD.

In addition to the above improvements, the usual changes pertaining to the Cloud Upgrade have also been done in the tool. To name a few, the list of certified workstations is updated, and the support for browser versions is updated in the tool as per the current stable release. Along with this, the list of supported levels for 3DEXPERIENCE Open Software has been accordingly streamlined as per the newly introduced levels.

A few bug fixes in regards to the Hardware and Software Configuration check have also been promoted in this new version.

Hope that the above changes implemented in the tool prove useful for you.
