MDG SYSML Installation

[jorit]

Hi,

I purchased MDG/SYSML and installed (and entered registration key) as Administrator on EA 7.0 Corporate.

When I want to run as a normal user, only one user is supposed to use this, SYSML does not show up. What did I do wrong ? How can I fix it ?

Regards,

This is a known problem with pretty much all Add-Ins.  Because the Add-In is defined in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_USER, only the person who installs it has access to it.  You will need to add the following registry key under your own user account:

Code: [Select]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\SysML]
@="SysMLAddin.CSysMLAddin"

HTH.

So I am having problems adding the add-in as well and found this thread. I have attempted to add the registry key but still nothing shows up so I am assuming I did this wrong. When I installed the software, unlike the last user, I wasn't prompted to enter a license key yet. When I installed the software, it asked me for username and company, which I provided. A folder was created at my desired location that contained a .dll file and an Enterprise Architect Repository. I copied those two files into the Enterprise Architect program file (Program Files/Sparx Systems/EA). I can see the add-in listed when I double-click the Enterprise Architect Repository that was installed but when I don't open EA by double-clicking that file, then I can't see the add-in.

Here are the steps I followed based on the thread above:

• Selected "Start" and entered "regedit" into the run box.
• Registry Editor window opened and I browsed to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" folder.
• Browsed to "Software" then "Sparx Systems".
• I didn't have the folders you listed above so I right-clicked the "Sparx System" folder and selected "New">"Key".
• I named the folder "EAAddins".
• I right-clicked the "EAAddins" folder and selected "New">"Key" again.
• I named the folder "SysML".
• Within "SysML" folder is a key named "(Default):" so I double-clicked it.
• I pasted "@="SysMLAddin.CSysMLAddin"" from the thread above (with inner set of quotes).
• When I look at the "SysML" folder it shows the Name = "(Default)", Type = "REG_SZ" and Data = "@="SysMLAddin.CSysMLAddin"".
• I restarted the computer and tried accessing the add-in but still nothing shows up.

The SysML add-in is obsolete and should not be installed.  SysML functionality is now built-in with Enterprise Architect and should automatically be available when an appropriate license key is detected.  (E.g. EA Ultimate, EA Systems Engineering, or a combination of EA Corporate/Professional + MDG Technology for SysML license keys).

Ok thank you. I'm not sure how I would have known that from the documentation on the website or the items provided to me from my IT department.

I went to the "Help"->"Register and Manage License Key(s)" drop-down within EA and entered the license key I was provided and now I see SysML 1.1, SysML 1.2, and SysML 1.3 listed under "Extensions"->"MDG Technologies..." but where is SysML 1.4? I am using EA version 12.0.1212.

where is SysML 1.4? I am using EA version 12.0.1212.

According to the release notes, SysML 1.4 was added at 12.1.1224

Hello all,

Just for your information, on the latest version of Enterprise Architect, a combination of Desktop edition and MDG Technology for SysML is also valid.
(I do not remember when this change happened.)
