Tips
- ●
- The very first project you create automatically becomes active. You can manually activate other projects, but there can only be one project active at a time in the Server or Client/FEP SMC.
- ●
- The name and status updates (started, stopped, and so on) of the active project are always displayed in the Header bar.
- ●
- Even after a project is activated, the Activate Project
icon is not disabled, which indicates that you can re-activate the project when needed.
- ●
- When you delete an active project, none of the other existing projects automatically becomes active. You must manually activate the project you want to use.
- ●
- If you restore a project that is outdated, you must upgrade it first before you can activate it.
- ●
- If there is no active project and you upgrade a project, the upgraded project automatically becomes active.
- ●
- Activation of a project ensures the following:
- –
- The Desigo CC client application on the server runs in the context of an activated project on Server.
- –
- The Desigo CC client application running on the client/FEP runs in the context of an activated project on the client/FEP.
In both cases, if the Desigo CC client application is running while you activate a project, you must re-start the Desigo CC client application.
