The plant I work in uses Rockwell software primarily. We serve licenses to users with Factory Talk Activation Manager using a server running Windows Server 2016 Standard, 64-bit.
We recently acquired a piece of equipment that has a Siemens PLC and HMI on it. I would like to set up a similar license server for the Siemens software for those of us that need to support the new machine. It is not practical to purchase separate licenses for each user because we do not access the software at the same time or very frequently, for that matter.
My question is: do any of you have Siemens Automation License Manager and Rockwell FactoryTalk Activation manager running on the same server? Are there any pitfalls or considerations for setting up such an arrangement?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
