That is correct.  You have to download the Valentina XCMD  
separately.  For Valentina 1 I recommend using the Valentina external  
directly and bypassing RevDB.  With RevDB you can't use encryption  
and a lot of other fancy Valentina features.

For Valentina 2, Paradigma has created a bridge between the RevDB  
driver and the Valentina 2 external.  You can connect to Valentina 2  
using RevDB but then use a function they provide to get a reference  
that can be passed to any of Valentina external functions.  This  
makes experimenting with Valentina easier since you can use RevDB.   
If you decide you like it, you can then access the extensive  
Valentina API without having to change any of your connection code.
