Accessing Xi Software Downloads

Download Portal Access

Xi Software distributions are available through the web download portal:

Portal URL: https://downloads.xisl.com/

Access requires a valid serial number. Upon entry, all distributions associated with that serial number become available for download.

What's Available

Latest builds only : Portal displays most recent build of each product

Platform-specific distributions : Separate downloads for each supported platform

RPM packages (Linux) : Native package format for Red Hat and derivatives

Tarball archives (Unix/Linux) : Traditional tar.gz format with installer scripts

Checksums : SHA256 checksums provided for verification

Accessing Downloads

Step 1: Navigate to portal

Visit https://downloads.xisl.com/

Step 2: Enter serial number

Provide your Xi Software serial number. This is the same serial number shown by checklic commands.

Step 3: View available files

All distributions for your products are listed with:

• Platform identification
• Distribution type (RPM or tarball)
• Version number
• File size

Step 4: Select platform

Choose the distribution matching your target system's platform and architecture.

Step 5: Apply blend filter (if applicable)
