Introduction
The Global Server Installation Guide explains how to install AVEVA Global Server, as supplied by AVEVA Solutions Ltd on a DVD, onto a workstation which is running under the Windows 2000 or later.
1.1
Hardware
It is recommended that the Global daemon is installed on a separate file server.
The above specification are recommended when running the Global daemon on a file server.
For hardware requirements for client machines running the base product refer the relevant installation guide for that product.
1.2
Software and Configuration
The Global daemon uses RPC, which is part of the standard Windows software, and so no additional software has to be installed.
1.3
AVEVA Security File
You must have the correct AVEVA license file before you can use AVEVA Global Server. The file is controlled by the network security product called Flexman. The version required for AVEVA Global Server 12.0 (or higher) is Flexman 4.1 (or higher). Refer to the Flexman 4.1 Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
Global now requires a licence for Hub and Satellites. At the hub location each project daemon will take out a GLOBAL licence entry. At each Satellite each project daemon will take out a GLOBALSAT licence. A project daemon at a Satellite may use a spare Hub licence (GLOBAL) if no satellite licence (GLOBALSAT) is available.
CPU 2 GHz Intel P4 (Dual core or dual processors recommended)
RAM 1 GB system memory
HDD 500 GB Ultra SCSI II HPL (10000+ rpm) (two or more 500 GB, SATA-300 RAID recommended)

Note: The exact appearance of forms and screens may be different depending on which browser you are using. The forms used in this manual are from Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.
If you didn’t have your browser running, or the page failed to load, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the disc in DVD ROM drive and double-click on the file setup.exe; alternatively, right-click and choose your browser from the Open With option on the popup menu.
