Important Product Information
Quick Start
- Licensing Quick Start Overview
  Have you just purchased a GE Vernova product(s) and received an order email from GE Vernova? To use a GE Vernova product on your system, you must setup and activate licensing. The following steps explain how to get started quickly with your product licensing.
- Step 1: Review Order Email and Download Proficy Software
  The order email contains important information and links to download the Proficy software, helping you quickly access the installers you need. Reviewing the order details ensures that you have the correct Proficy software to download and install. You can download the Proficy installers either from the links provided in the order email or by visiting the GE Vernova Support website, where you can access the entire product list. Downloading the right software is crucial to ensure your Proficy system is set up correctly and functions efficiently.
- Step 2: Install Proficy Software
- Step 3: Activate Licenses
- Applying Proficy Licenses using Tag Pooling from Cloud Server
  You can now manage your SCADA systems by activating and distributing additional tags using the tag pooling feature. This method allows efficient allocation of tags without the need for new licenses. Currently, the tag pooling is available for SCADA iFIX and CIMPLICITY product licenses.
- Applying Proficy Licenses using Tag Pooling from a Local Server
  The tag pooling feature enables you to allocate, distribute, or return additional tags (database blocks) from a local license server, streamlining SCADA system management. Currently, this feature is available for SCADA iFIX and CIMPLICITY product software licenses, providing flexibility for local servers.
- Downloading a Product ISO File
  You can download a product ISO file for the Proficy product you purchased using the link provided in your order email or directly from the GE Vernova Support website. This process ensures you receive the correct version of the product, enabling installation or deployment across your systems. The ISO file contains a complete image of the software, which is essential for setting up or updating your product.
- Creating a DVD from an ISO Image
  Creating a DVD from an ISO image allows you to install software on systems without internet access. This method is helpful for backup purposes and for installing software across multiple machines without an internet connection.

Scenario 1: Computer (online) connected to the Cloud License Server

Overview

In this scenario, the computer (physical machine or virtual machine) with the Cloud License Server is connected to the Internet. The available Proficy software activation codes are retrieved from the Cloud License Server and are then used on the computer with the License Client installed to activate the corresponding Proficy software licenses.

Steps

In License Client, select Activate Licenses, select the option 1, Yes, for this computer from the Cloud License Server.
The Activate Licenses from the Cloud Server page appears.

Note:
Internet connectivity is verified before this page is displayed. An error message is displayed if the Cloud License Server is not accessible, and the No Licenses on this Computer page is automatically displayed.
Enter your first activation code, and then select Add Code.
Note:
If you have obtained tag pooling codes, refer to Applying Proficy Licenses using Tag Pooling from Cloud Server for more information on how to apply the tag pooling licenses to your base Proficy license.
Repeat the previous step for each license you have.
Select Activate. The Licenses screen should now display all the licenses activated on the server.
