Setting Up ILOG CPLEX

You install ILOG CPLEX in two steps: first, install the files from the distribution medium (a CD or an FTP site) into a directory on your local file system; then activate your license.

At that point, all of the features of CPLEX become functional and are available to you. The chapters that follow this one provide tutorials in the use of each of the Technologies that ILOG CPLEX provides: the ILOG Concert Technology Tutorials for C++, Java, and .NET users, and the Callable Library Tutorial for C and other languages.

This chapter provides guidelines for:

Installing ILOG CPLEX
Setting Up Licensing

Using the Component Libraries

Important

Please read these instructions in their entirety before beginning the installation. Remember that most ILOG CPLEX distributions will operate correctly only on the specific platform and operating system version for which they are designed. If you upgrade your operating system, you may need to obtain a new ILOG CPLEX distribution.
