Configure the FactoryTalk Activation server

The FactoryTalk Activation server manages and shares activations with other configured computers on the network. Multiple activation servers can exist on a network, and client computers can retrieve activations from more than one activation server. A remote computer can also be set as an activation server.

The FactoryTalk Activation server does not require a server operating system, and can be any computer that hosts activations for distribution to clients. However, a server operating system will administer the licenses more effectively. Download times will be shorter and the system administrator can use a single, central computer to host activations.
