2 • SETTING UP SITE EDITION (SE) WEB APPLICATIONS

The role of the FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server

The FactoryTalk ViewPoint Site Edition setup program installs the FactoryTalk

ViewPoint Server and FactoryTalk ViewPoint Administration software on the

computer.

The FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server hosts the currently published web application and

provides ViewPoint client licenses to web browsers that connect to the application.

To set up FactoryTalk ViewPoint activation and security, and to create a web

application, you can connect to FactoryTalk ViewPoint Administration from any

supported web browser. To learn how, see the next section, “Setting up FactoryTalk

ViewPoint Site Edition activation.”

To learn how to install FactoryTalk ViewPoint Site Edition, see “Installing

FactoryTalk ViewPoint” on page 11.

Setting up FactoryTalk ViewPoint Site

Edition activation

Web browsers connecting to a published web application obtain client access licenses

from the FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server.

Each web browser requires a separate client license, unless browsers are connecting

to the same web application from the same computer. In that case, up to three

browsers (or three tabs, in browsers that support tabs) can share a single license.

When a browser disconnects or, if FactoryTalk ViewPoint security is enabled, when

the user logs off from the web application, all licenses that were held by the current

user are released for other browsers to use.
