Installing Reactis for Simulink#
How much disk space do I need to install Reactis for Simulink?#
The fully installed system uses about 160 MB.
How do I install Reactis under Windows?#
Download the installer reactis-setup-win64-V20*.exe from the Reactis User Pages.
Run the installer.
After the installer completes, you must then configure Reactis to either access a local License File or a remote License Manager. See Chapter Installing Reactis of the Reactis for Simulink User’s Guide for more details on installing under Windows.
What is a License Manager?#
In order to run Reactis, you will need a valid license file. The license file may be stored locally on your machine, or it may be managed remotely on a different machine. The application that performs the remote management operation in the latter scenario is called the Reactis License Manager.
If you wish to share one or more floating licenses among users running Reactis on different machines, then you will need to install the Reactis License Manager.
Why do I need to send my license file to Reactive Systems before I can run Reactis?#
In order to control the spread of illegally obtained copies of Reactis, Reactive Systems requires license files to be digitally signed by the company before the tool can run. Sending us your license file allows us to do this.
Can I install multiple versions of Reactis on the same machine?#
Yes, it is possible to install multiple versions of Reactis on the same computer, as long as the different versions have different major release numbers. For example, you can install both V2023.2 and 2024.0 on the same machine since the major release numbers are 2 and 0. The following example clarifies:
Assume you currently have V2023.2.1 installed on your machine and would like to try V2024.
You should then download and run reactis-setup-win64-V2024.0.exe. Note, that you do not need to first uninstall V2023.2.1. When you run the installer, it will automatically copy configuration information (including your license file) from the older installation.
Assume that V2024.0.1 is later released. It is not possible to have both V2024.0 and V2024.0.1 on your machine, but you can easily upgrade to the newer version. To do so, download and run the patch reactis-patch-win64-V2024.0.1.exe or select Help > Check for Updates from within Reactis for Simulink.
