Hi all,

I am trying to activate Vortex Studio Essentials so that I can use it with V-REP. I already have a windows license that was successfully activated, but I also require using this software in Linux. (Ubuntu 16.04) Am I required to use two different activation keys? How can I go about doing this? I have multiple computers that I want to use this software on.

Thanks for your time reading.

Hi Cosmin,

The instructions on how to do the installation and activation are available here:

https://www.cm-labs.com/vortexstudiodocumentation/Vortex_User_Documentation/Content/Licensing/index_installation.html

https://www.cm-labs.com/vortexstudiodocumentation/Vortex_User_Documentation/Content/Licensing/licensing_activation.html

On Linux, the installation is simply done by

• creating a destination directory (anywhere you want)
• cd to the above directory
• tar -xzvf /DIRECTORY_WHERE_ARE_YOUR_DOWNLOADS/Vortex_Studio_*_x64_gcc48.tar.gz

And the activation can be done via the command line tool: 

• sudo bin/VortexLicenseManager --activate 1234-5678-1234-5678
• For more details:
• sudo bin/VortexLicenseManager --help

Activation can also be done manually, if the machine has no access to the internet.  Refer to the above documentation link.

Hi Giasson,

I recently downloaded an academic version of Vortex studio for Linux but I cannot seem to get it working with Vrep at all. Do I need to install in a specific directory for Vortex to work with it or ?

Kind Regards,

Hi Daniel,

I also want to install Vortex Studio so that I can used with V-Rep. I have downloaded the Vortex Studio (Linux), but there is no installation file. I am new in this domain (also I am not an expert in Linux), can you please guide me on the installation and activation of Vortex Studio?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi Christos,

The V-Rep / Vortex integration is maintained by V-Rep. So, I would advise you to ask for help on the V-Rep forum. They should be able to help you out.

Thanks,

Daniel
