Cannot Log Into Vault or Content Center

Hello,

 

I have Inventor 2013. I have never been able to log into vault. I get the message "Vault Basic 2013 could not find the Data Management services on localhost"

 

I am not connected to a server, I am just working off my laptop as a standalone.

 

Does anyone have some advice? 

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Do you have administrative rights to your vault?

Has an account been setup to allow you to login into it?

I am just a single user on a laptop not on a server. I really need to log
in to use the content centre not for vault itself.

Thanks

I have always used vault on a network, but I would think that you would still need to create an account here.

You can create seperate accounts on your laptop, it is the same here.

And, whats going on with your content center?  Can you post some screen shots?

When you installed Vault, did you install the server and client?  Even if it is a local machine, the Vault server needs to be there.  That is the database management side of Vault.  Without that, Vault client is useless.

 

May I inquire as to why you need Vault on a single machine environment?

If all you want is Content Center, then you don't need Vault at all.  For the last few releases, Inventor has had the option of "Desktop Content Center" - which means you don't need a Vault server.  Have a look in Tools > Application Options > Content Center - select the Desktop Content Center option and then make sure you have installed the libraries to the correct folder.  (Put your original media back in - run the setup - look at the very bottom of the list of products to install and you should find "Inventor Content Center Libraries")

 

Vault Server isn't installed through the normal "Install Products" menu area - it's installed under "Tools and utilities".

Therein lies the problem. You need to log in to create a user and I can't.
I get the error mentioned above when I try with default credentials or with
my windows id

I am wondering at this point if it isn't worth it to do clean uninstall

then reinstall it knowing what you know now.

No!!!  Reinstalling won't fix anything.  

 

The problem is that the Vault server hasn't been installed.  A typical "uninstall - reinstall" cycle still won't install the Vault Server.  Net result - waste of 2 hours.  Vault server is NOT part of the default product installation - it's installed through "install tools and utilities".

 

Follow the advice above regarding desktop content center.

Hi talkstosocks,
As pcrawley mentioned you can use the Desktop Content Center files. See this link:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Is there a way to do a clean reinstall without losing the license in the process?

I don't have access to the license codes I used to install in the first place.

 

Thanks
