Details

Schneider Electric licensing requires activation via the internet.  There is often no internet access available from process servers.  It is necessary to activate the licenses offline.  Internet activation is required for Recipe Manager Plus and Alarm Advisor products.

 

Note:  This tech note assumes that Recipe Manager Plus and/or Alarm Advisor has been installed on the process server.  The Schneider Electric License Manager has been installed on the process server (offline server) as well as a second server (online server) with internet access.

 

Start from the Offline Server.
