Procedure

  1. Obtain the SCT installation file from the License Portal.
  2. Run MetasysSystemConfigurationTool_13.2.exe .

  4. If you do not have a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server software, the Metasys System Configuration Tool Setup automatically installs Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express. If you do have a supported version installed, select the SQL instance to use, and then select one of the following SQL authentication options:
    • Windows authentication credentials of current user (select the Windows Credentials check box): Select this option to log in to the SQL Server software by using the Windows operating system credentials of the current Windows user. To use this option, the current Windows user must be a member of the SQL Server sysadmin role for the Selected SQL Server.
    • SQL Server Login and Password (clear the Windows Credentials check box): Fill in the SQL Username and Password fields to use SQL Server authentication to access SQL Server software during the installation. In the SQL Username field, enter a SQL Server user who is a member of the sysadmin role for the selected SQL Server. In the Password field, enter the corresponding password.
  5. Click the General tab.

  10. Obtain field controller packages from the License Portal. To import a field controller package double-click on the package collection file or use the Package Importer, located in the Start menu. The Package Importer displays the message Finished importing device when the import is complete.
  11. Click the Add License button in the Software Manager to license SCT software and field controller packages. Choose the activation method you would like to use for the license: Online with a Product Key, or Offline with a License Activation File. Once added, SCT software and field controller package licenses display in the License Inventory.
    Note: The Software Manager only lists field controller packages after you apply a license. Installed, but unlicensed, field controller packages are not listed in the Software Manager.
