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 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 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,
Sharif

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
