Cloning a VTScada Workstation

Do not clone a VTScada workstation.

Cloning a VTScada workstation for installation on a new computer will also clone the unique machine identifier (UMID), which VTScada generates for each workstation. Running two machines with the same UMID may cause corruption of the configuration repository.

Recommended practice to avoid this situation is to install VTScada on the new machine and use the Get From Workstation tool in the VTScada Application Manager to transfer the application to that machine from another workstation.

If you have cloned a workstation, the existing UMID must be deleted from the registry before running VTScada on that machine. Contact Trihedral Technical Support before proceeding.
