2. Installation

Cloud Discovery Service is not installed as part of a Connext package, unless you are installing a license-managed (“lm”) package (such as rti_connext_dds-<version>-lm-x64Win64VS2017.exe), which includes Cloud Discovery Service.

2.1. Installing a License-Managed Version

Install the “lm” package as described in the RTI Connext Installation Guide. The package includes Cloud Discovery Service. It is a target-specific package, which ensures you have access to the correct binary library/executable for your platform.

After installing the “lm” package, see How to use a License File with RTI Services.

2.2. Installing a Commercial Version

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.

There are two ways to install RTI’s Cloud Discovery Service package: using RTI Launcher or the rtipkginstall command-line utility. For each of the methods, make sure that you install the correct host and target for your environment.

For more details on installing, see Installing Connext in the RTI Connext Installation Guide.
