I am very new to the PLC world and specifically FTVSE. I have some familiarity with Machine Edition so I understand how one would obtain a .apa file from a .mer file.
From poking around I understand that you cannot obtain a .apa file from a .cli file in Site Edition like you can obtain a .apa file from a .mer file in Machine Edition.
I need to obtain backups of the .cli file that is running on the Site Edition machines at a remote site and bring them back to the office with me. What is the best way to go about that, and what would I need to know to obtain whichever file I would want to keep to be able to access the file using FTVSE at a later date on a controls laptop? Do I just go to where the .apa file is located, or do I go to where the .cli file is and make a copy? I have tried making a copy of the .apa file and could not open this file on a different controls laptop that had an SE license.
I do understand that these files are located in different locations on the SE Windows operating system.
Can one launch a .cli file on another laptop or computer that has an active FTVSE license?
