CAD Converters & DATA Extractors - Obtaining IP/MAC

For all of these software packages, the license key need to contain either the MAC or IP of the install server.

  • 1) If on Linux run: $ifconfig to get the general system MAC/IP information.
  • 2) If on Windows run: >ipconfig to get the general system MAC/IP information.

As an alternative for AutoXchange AX2023:

  • 3) Inside the install folder of AX2023 run: >AX2023_yy_nn_vv -verify and it will list the main MAC/IP as read into AutoXchange.

  • 4) Also, inside the install folder of AX2023 (/converters/ax2023/linux or /converters/ax2023/windows) locate the test file: Test01.dwg . Use AX2023 with this dwg file to run a command line from this folder: >AX2023_yy_nn_vv -i=Test01.dwg -o=Test01.svg -f=svg -model -trace. This will list all IP/MAC that AutoXchange is reading in.

NOTE: Use this information to obtain your license keys from Tailor Made Software.

cvjs_setLicenseKeyPath(ServerUrl+"/app/cv/");

Npm Installed CADViewer Package

The CADViewer license can also be set through an API call in code, this method is typically used for the npm installed versions for the frame-works such as ReactJS, VueJS, Angular, etc.

// set the location to license key, typically the js folder in main app application folder ../app/cv/
// cvjs_setLicenseKeyPath(ServerUrl+"/app/cv/");
// alternatively, set the key directly, by pasting in the cvKey portion of the cvlicense.js file, note the JSON \" around all entities 	 

cvjs_setLicenseKeyDirect('{ \"cvKey\": \"00110010 00110010 00110000 00110000 00110010 00110000 00110001 00110001 00110101 00110101 00110001 00110100 00110110 00110001 00110101 00110011 00110001 00110101 00110001 00110001 00110101 00110101 00110010 00110001 00110000 00110001 00110101 00110001 00110001 00110100 00110000 00110001 00111001 00111000 00110010 00110000 00110110 00110010 00110000 00111000 00110010 00110000 00110110 00110010 00110000 00110101 00110010 00110001 00110001 00110010 00110000 00111000 00110010 00110000 00110111 00110010 00110001 00110001 00110010 00110000 00110101 00110010 00110000 00110111 \" }');
