Cloning a VTScada Workstation
Do not clone a VTScada workstation.
Cloning a VTScada workstation for installation on a new computer will also clone the unique machine identifier (UMID), which VTScada generates for each workstation. Running two machines with the same UMID will cause corruption of the configuration repository.
In newer VTScada installations, any attempt to run two VTScada workstations with the same UMID will be detected and prevented.
Recommended practice to avoid this situation is to install VTScada on the new machine and use the Get From Workstation tool in the VTScada Application Manager to transfer the application to that machine from another workstation.
If you have cloned a workstation, the existing UMID must be deleted from the registry before running VTScada on that machine. Contact Trihedral Technical Support before proceeding.
