2. Installation

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

2.1. Installing a Free Version

Install the free (“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 Add-on Products in the RTI Connext Installation Guide.
