These instructions only apply to Enterprise Program customers who have paid for the PDF Converter Unlimited Add-On. Standard (non-Enterprise) customers should refer to Installing C Tech 3D PDF Converter instead.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, ensure the following software is installed on your servers and client computers. All packages are available from ctech.com/downloads:
- C Tech 3D PDF Converter — installed on each client computer that will generate 3D PDFs
- C Tech License Manager — installed on all EVS client computers with 3D PDF users
- C Tech Universal License Server — installed on all EVS servers that will support 3D PDF users
Note: You must have received EVS Key updates after June 1, 2022. If you have a current Enterprise License Subscription and need updated keys for the PDF Converter, contact sales@ctech.com.
Warning
PDF Converter licenses are synchronized to your Enterprise License renewal. The PDF Converter will not function if your Enterprise subscription has expired, unless a valid non-expired standalone license is also present on the same machine.
Installation
For Earth Volumetric Studio (EVS) users, make sure to install EVS and the C Tech License Manager prior to installing the C Tech 3D PDF Converter. If no EVS usage is intended, install the C Tech License Manager directly. See EVS Floating Enterprise Installation for licensing setup and C Tech License Manager for License Manager configuration.
Once the License Manager is configured and the EVS server is reachable, run CTech3DPDFConverter.exe and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. The PDF Converter will open fully licensed without displaying a licensing request screen — no .car activation files are required.
