Run Products without a System Management Server

You can run AVEVA products without a System Management Server, however this means your system will not support encrypted communications.

In the case of Plant SCADA, encryption is required to use a deployment server and/or an OPC UA server.

Note: Running AVEVA products without a System Management Server is not recommended.

To run your products without a System Management Server:

1. Start the Configurator.

2. In the left pane, click Common Platform | System Management Server.

3. Select No System Management Server configured.

   Selecting this option will remove any existing certificates that were previously managed by the System Management Server.
