After AVEVA turns on your AVEVA Measurement Advisor subscription, AVEVA Measurement Advisor is ready for activation. To activate AVEVA Measurement Advisor, you must have Account Administrator privileges. Activating AVEVA Measurement Advisor provisions the required hardware and software resources, such as the database, needed to run AVEVA Measurement Advisor as a service in the cloud. After activation, AVEVA Measurement Advisor is available for use by all your users.

Note: If needed at any time, you can suspend your AVEVA Measurement Advisor service. For more information, see Suspend/reactivate your AVEVA Measurement Advisor service.

Prior to activating AVEVA Measurement Advisor, it may be helpful to familiarize yourself with the use of folders in the context of CONNECT. AVEVA Measurement Advisor can be activated only at the "folder level." Therefore, you must first have a folder or make a folder to be able to activate AVEVA Measurement Advisor. The steps below describe how to create a new folder. After you create the new folder, the AVEVA Measurement Advisor service card will automatically be added to the folder. Then, use the service card to activate AVEVA Measurement Advisor.
