Step 1: Install the ANS Runtime Engine
Installing the ANS Runtime Engine ensures that all ANS products operate smoothly and efficiently. This engine provides the necessary runtime environment for the toolkit and other ANS applications.
After downloading the ANS Runtime Engine, users can install it by selecting the "ANS Runtime Engine Setup.exe"
If you have issues with this method, please run Command Prompt as administrator. Navigate to the downloaded folder and run the command to install the runtime.
Complete the installation process
Step 2: Install ANSDL via VIPM
Download the latest version of ANSDL on the portal at our Portal.
Go to Products > AI Deployment Tools and select any corresponding ANSDL function (e.g. ODHUB-LV) to download the ANSDL installer.
After installation, the ANSDL Functions Palette is in the ANSCENTER category.
Examples can be found in the NI Example Finder UI. You can replicate these examples for your custom projects
Step 3: Install ANS License Manager
The ANS License Manager is essential for activating and managing the runtime licenses of ANS products. It ensures that all toolkit components are fully licensed and operational, allowing you to leverage ANSDL's full capabilities in your projects.
You can download and install the latest version of ANS License Manager from our Portal.
Step 3: Activate the ANSDL function with the ANS License Manager
First, You need to purchase the license key that corresponds to your target application:
- ANNHUB-LV license to activate ANSDL function for ANNHUB model deployment
- DLHUB-LV license to activate ANSDL function for DLHUB model deployment
- ODHUB-LV license to activate ANSDL function for ODHUB model deployment
- ANSTS license to activate ANSTS function for ANSTS model deployment
- ANSALPR, ANSCV, ANSFR, and ANSOCR license to activate its corresponding ANSTS function
But If you install ANSDL on the same target device already activated with one of the above licenses, ANSDL automatically activates the corresponding function.
If you install ANSDL on a separate target device, please use the corresponding license and follow the ANS License Manager to activate the ANSDL function.
