When using Dassault Systems License Server (DSLS) you will need to generate a computer ID and send it to your Reseller for a license file to be generated for your license. Follow the steps below to generate the Computer ID (also known as Target ID). These steps are for a Windows machine, but the programs to get the Computer ID from other Operating Systems are included in the attached zipped folder as well. Generally, the DSLS Server is hosted on a Windows Server Hyper-V Virtual Machine that comprises a three-machine failover cluster or a single Physical Windows Machine.
Steps
- Download and extract the attached zipped folder called "DSLicTarget125".
- Open the folder path <Folder location>\DSLicTarget125\Windows 64-bit to locate the exe called "DSLicTarget.exe".
- In a Windows Search Bar, type "cmd" to bring up "Command Prompt" and launch it.
- In Windows File Explorer, drag the "DSLicTarget.exe" into the Command Prompt Window so the file path is entered.
- Hit "Space" and add the following command: DSLicTarget.exe –t. This will bring the full command entered to: "<Folder Location>\DSLicTarget125\Windows 64-bit\DSLicTarget.exe" DSLicTarget.exe –t
- Hit "Enter" on your Keyboard to start the command.
- With the command done, there will be a Computer ID line where the Computer ID is reported.
- Record this Computer ID and send it to your Reseller so they can request a license file.
Virtual Machine Requirements
- A DS License Server running in a virtualized environment must be a failover cluster: three virtual machines (VMs) able to communicate together are then required. We strongly recommend that the three VMs be hosted by three different physical machines.
- The only supported operating system for generating the virtual machine is Windows Server, on which the Hyper-V role has to be added and a TPM 2.0 activated.
- The only supported operating system for running the VM is also Windows Server, on which there must be a Virtual Trusted Platform Module; the VM must be Generation 2.
- Details about both options are available in the following guide:
