Multiple FactoryTalk Optix Studio installations on a single device

Multiple

FactoryTalk® Optix™

Studio installations versions can coexist on a single device: newer installations do not automatically replace older ones.

A device can have multiple and simultaneous

FactoryTalk® Optix™

Studio instances stored in separate folders named by the version number in the

Program Files

FactoryTalk Optix

repository.

NOTE: More

FactoryTalk® Optix™

Studio installations can run at the same time.

Multiple VPN network interfaces install together with their related

FactoryTalk® Optix™

Studio installations.

NOTE: If you try to open the same project in another

FactoryTalk® Optix™

Studio instance, a warning appears and prevents you from opening it:

The project shares the same name as another project currently open in a different FactoryTalk Optix Studio instance

You can log in to GitHub from each

FactoryTalk® Optix™

Studio instance by selecting

Settings

Version control

When you no longer need a

FactoryTalk® Optix™

Studio instance, uninstall it and the related VPN network interfaces.

While installing a newer version of

FactoryTalk® Optix™

Studio, a dialog box prompts you to select whether to overwrite older installations.
