• Unfortunately the Dassault documentation is very difficult & doesn’t work.• Fortunately I have made it very simple.
What’s wrong:The Dassault documentation says you need several documents from your school.You don’t.It also has links to software downloads that don’t work and several other issues.
The actual process:1. Create a Dassault account
Go to the Dassault student website (3DS Academy)Although you can use any email you like, you will also need a school issued email to get the student software.So it is best if you use the school email to make your Dassault account.There is a Promo Code (CATIA4FREE17) on the site for free software.You will receive an email to activate your account.
2. Get Software:(easiest to get all this from Brian, not online)a) CATIA V5 Student Edition – version 2015 is what we use in classb) Target ID software
3. Obtain your computers Target ID numberRun the Target ID software to obtain that number for your computer. Dassault will need this to generate a license for you.
4. Login, Buy using your Promo code & it will ask you to:5. Submit your Target ID number to generate a license file.6. Receive license file as email attachment.7. Install CV5SE (but don’t open it yet)8. Install your License file
Run Nodelock Key Management (this is part of the CV5SE install)Import your license file
9. Done – Open CV5SE
