Installing Emonitor
This chapter guides you through the installation process for Emonitor. If you are
upgrading from an existing version, refer to Chapter 4, Upgrading from a previous
version.
Installing FactoryTalk Activation Manager
Emonitor requires that you activate your software using license files. As part of the
Emonitor installation process, you must install the FactoryTalk Activation Manager. For
more information on FactoryTalk Activation, refer to the FactoryTalk Activation
documentation. To display the documentation, follow these steps:
1. Insert the Emonitor Installation DVD into the DVD drive of your computer. It should
auto-start and display the Autorun screen. If the Autorun screen does not appear, start
the Windows Explorer and navigate to your DVD drive. Double-click autorun.exe on
the Emonitor DVD to run the installation program.
When you upgrade from an earlier version of the Emonitor software (version 2.3 and earlier), the
Process data type is replaced with the new Numeric data type for existing measurement
definitions.
If you are running the DVD from another computer, you must map the DVD to a drive on your
local computer.
