Windows Requirements

Install Exalead CloudView on a 64-bit Windows server (x86_64) server running a platform listed in the Program Directory (or in the Supported Platforms datasheet available on Airbridge for stand-alone releases).

See http://www.3ds.com/fileadmin/Support/Documents/Platform-support-policies.pdf for Dassault Systèmes support policy.

Warning: Exalead CloudView does not work if the OS is set up in FIPS mode, typically to conform with the US government security practices. This is because it uses MD5 as a standard hash function and not for cryptographic purposes.

The supported Java version is Java 11 (or higher). You must install it and make it the default (JAVA_HOME).

Verify that the “java -version" and the variable JAVA_HOME point to the same Java 11 installation.

Install the following update on your server before installing Exalead CloudView: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226
