activation.
FactoryTalk Historian Classic Author activations are assigned
to individual user accounts. However, these activations
determine the total number of concurrent users who are

potential authoring users a FactoryTalk Historian Classic
Author activation provided the concurrent number of logged

Historian Classic Author activations installed. Additional
authoring privileges (such as Manage Reporting Tags, Add
Time-Series Comment, and many others) are individually
assigned to users at the system administrator’s discretion.
