use is reflected only for the primary server in a collective. It is
because the assignment of activations to the secondary server
in a collective is performed outside the FactoryTalk Activation
mechanism.
For example, if you want to assign 1 license activation of type
FHSE.H2H to your Historian server collective, you need to
acquire 1 license activation of this type and then assign it to
the primary server in your collective.
• For all other license activations, you need a separate activation
of a given type for each server in a collective.
If you assign any license activations other than those listed
above to a Historian server collective, the primary server
retrieves (checks out) the license activations from the
FactoryTalk Activation, and the second license activation of
the same type is automatically checked out for the secondary
server in a collective. In the FactoryTalk Activation Manager,
the number of activations in use is reflected for both servers in
the collective.
For example, if you want to assign 2 license activations of type
FHLD.5000 to your Historian server collective, you need to
acquire 4 license activations of this type and then assign 2
activations to the primary server. The other 2 activations will
be automatically assigned to the secondary server in your
collective. You will be able to assign license activations of a
given type to your server collective only if you have a sufficient
number of them available.
To assign license activations to the primary server in a collective:
1. Go to Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
Administration Console.
2. In the Select FactoryTalk Directory dialog box, select
Network, and click OK.
