Users can open the read-only WebView screens either by:

Entering a URL in the browser Address field that goes directly to a stand-alone WebView screen or

Opening a screen in the CIMPLICITY Web pages.

The total number of sessions running can equal up to the number of purchased licenses. The sessions can be all user sessions, all broadcast sessions, or a mixture of the two types.

Microsoft Workstation Operating systems such as Windows XP allow a limit of 10 connections.

If you have a project running with WebView and attach a new key to your computer that has additional WebView licenses, reboot the WebView Server (computer) in order for the licenses to take affect.

If you have checked Start WebView Server at Boot time, the licenses will be activated the next time you reboot your computer.
