Note:
• The AVEVA Enterprise Licensing system only requires one License Server. If you are going to connect to an existing License Server, you do not need to select this option.

• Plant SCADA 2023 R2 installs version 4.0 of AVEVA Enterprise Licensing. If your system includes computers that are not upgraded to AEL 4.0, you will need to install AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Server Legacy Support on your Enterprise License Server. This enables backwards compatibility for clients nodes that are running an earlier version of AEL.

Access Restriction

This page provides information about the local Windows groups the installer will create to manage security (see the section Windows User Groups and Security Roles in the topic Installation Information).

Note: This page will only appear if you are installing Plant SCADA on a clean computer (one that has not hosted an earlier version). If you are upgrading from an earlier version, equivalent user groups will already exist on the computer.

If you want your current Windows user account to be included in the groups that are being created, select Add the current Windows user to these groups.

A dialog will let you know that the group membership changes will not occur until after a restart.

Firewall

If the installer detects that the computer has Windows Firewall enabled, you will be asked if you would like the installer to modify your settings.

If you select Yes, Plant SCADA Runtime will be added to the list of authorized programs.

See the section Windows Firewalls in the topic Installation Information).
