Configure the FactoryTalk
Activation Client

After you set up the activation server, specify the server the client computer
connects to in order to retrieve activations. Once a client is connected to a
server, run the application software (such as FactoryTalk View SE client) and
the server automatically issues available activations.

A continuous network connection is required for an activation client to use
floating activations. After a client obtains a floating activation, if the activation
server detects that the client has been disconnected, the activation is returned
to the server pool.

To be sure that critical software components (such as redundant HMI servers)
can always obtain the necessary activations, set up an activation server on the
computer where the software is running.

Download the OWS License File to the Activation Server on the
PASS

To download the license file, follow either of these procedures:

Activate Software on a PASS with Internet Connectivity on page 16

.

Activate Software for a PASS without Internet Connectivity on page 19

.

Use the serial number and product key provided on the activation certificate
that was packaged with the OWS computer. The Host ID will be the same as
the one for the PASS computer. A license file for each OWS computer is
managed by the activation server on the PASS. The activation client utility on
the OWS only needs to be configured to use the activation server once the
license file is put on the activation server.
