Activate Historian WebTrend

Activate a valid license before using the Historian WebTrend service. You activate the Historian WebTrend server by obtaining license activation files from the
Rockwell Automation
 licensing website and assigning them to the server using
FactoryTalk Activation Manager
.
The grace period and expiry warning messages are in the log file in
C:\ProgramData\Rockwell Software\FactoryTalk Historian\Historian WebTrend Data Provider\Logs
.
TIP: Historian WebTrend will not function if you do not have a valid license or if your existing license expires or is otherwise invalidated.
To activate Historian WebTrend
  1. On the computer with Historian WebTrend installed, go to
    C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\FactoryTalk Historian\Historian WebTrend Data Provider
    , and then open
    RA.FTHistorianSE.WebTrend.HistorianProviderHost.exe.config
    .
  2. Under
    <appSettings>
    , configure one of the following two fields:
    • FHIST.WebTrendNamedUsr
      : Defines the number of FHIST.WebTrendNamedUsr licenses to be checked out from
      FactoryTalk Activation Manager
      .
      For example, if the value is
      5
      , Historian WebTrend attempts to check out 5 licenses from
      FactoryTalk Activation Manager
      . If only 3 licenses are available in
      FactoryTalk Activation Manager
      , only 3 licenses can be checked out.
      add key="FTHIST.WebTrendNamedUsr" value="5">
    • FHIST.WebTrendUnlimited
      : Defines the number of FHIST.WebTrendUnlimited licenses to be checked out from
      FactoryTalk Activation Manager
      .
      • To check out an unlimited license from
        FactoryTalk Activation Manager
        , set the value to
        1
        .
      • To restrict access based on the FHIST.WebTrendNamedUsr license, set the value to
        0
        .
      add key="FTHIST.WebTrendUnlimited" value="1">
