Adding new clients to Exsiting server with Wincc OA UI.

[Chandan]

Hi Experts,
We are having server and total number of 6 clients are connected to it.
I can see the details of all the clients from the device management.
In device management it shows as below:-
6/6 UI Connected. 5/5 Unlocked Devices 0/0 Mobile UI Connected

From above and reading the help I understood that six numbers of UI are connected to the server.

I want to add one more client to this server, I installed Wincc OA UI on the desktop, configured it and tried to get connected
to the server. When I open the project Upto authentication it is OK but it does not open the running project.
Instead it gives me message "License Error: Maximum Numbers (6) of allowed instances of manager ui reached"

From the above message it seems to me that the license for UI are only for 6 numbers of clients.Will be highly glad to get the reasons for this.
And how I can be able to increase the number of clients connected to server.


Thanks and regards
Chandan.

If you want to run more than 6 UI clients at the same time you need a license where more than 6 ui clients are defined.
The shield file you cannot change on your own. You have to get in contact with the vendor of the license you are using.
