2. Installation
Cloud Discovery Service is not installed as part of a Connext package, unless you are
installing an evaluation (“eval”) or LM (“lm”) package
(such as rti_connext_dds-|CONNEXT_currentVersion|-eval-x64Win64VS2017.exe
or rti_connext_dds-|CONNEXT_currentVersion|-lm-x64Win64VS2017.exe
),
which includes Cloud Discovery Service.
Unless you are installing an “eval” or “lm” package, Cloud Discovery Service must be downloaded
and installed separately. Contact support@rti.com for information on
how to obtain a Cloud Discovery Service package for your platform.
