After the System Platform installation process is done, the Configurator starts automatically when you select Configure. However, installation is not finished until configuration is complete.
You may need to run the Configurator after installation if you add, change or upgrade System Platform components, your licensing model changes, or you switch to a different authentication/security method.
You can start the Configurator using the following methods:
-
From the Windows Start menu, select AVEVA, and then select Configurator.
-
Open the Configurator application file from Windows Explorer. The default file path
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\Configurator.exe
Navigate the Configurator
