You can add a copy of an existing HMI server to a network station application by using the
Copy an HMI server
 option, in the
Add HMI Server

TIP:
The server to be copied cannot be part of the current application. You can either copy a server from another application, or copy one that is not currently part of any application. If you are copying one that is part of another application, make sure that the server is not loaded when you try to copy it.
