 Requirements
2.2 Licensing

2.2 Licensing

WebNavigator client
No license is required for the PC on which the WebNavigator client is running, as server
licenses are available on the WebNavigator server.

WebNavigator server
As a prerequisite for the WinCC basic system, the WinCC RT basic license is required. No
WinCC server license is required if no local WinCC clients are to be operated. Even when
operating a WinCC client as a dedicated web server, you do not require a WinCC server
license for the WinCC client.
Licenses are available for 1 / 3 / 10 / 30 / 100 clients. If you have upgraded a WebNavigator
version prior to V7.4, there may also be licenses for 5 / 25 / 50 / 150 clients.
The packages are version-independent and can be combined. Up to 150 clients can access
the WebNavigator server simultaneously.
A message will appear if the number of licensed clients is exceeded during a login attempt
by a WebNavigator client. No further logins will be possible.

WinCC/WebUX clients
If the WinCC/WebUX option is also used in the WinCC system, a WebUX client can also
occupy a WebNavigator license. This reduces the number of available WebNavigator
licenses.
You can find more information in the documentation for WinCC/WebUX.

Test mode
If there is no WebNavigator license or if the license has been removed, the WebNavigator
server runs in Test mode.
Test mode runs for a maximum of 30 days from the date of installation. Once 30 days have
expired after the installation, the WebNavigator server can only be started with an installed
license.

Requirements
2.2 Licensing

WebNavigator diagnostics client

A "Diagnostics client" license is required on the client computer for the diagnostics client.
The diagnostics client can access on the WebNavigator server in the following cases:
● When the maximum number of simultaneous accesses has been reached on
WebNavigator server.
● When no WebNavigator license is installed on the WebNavigator server.

Note
Diagnostics client without corresponding license
If the diagnostics client is installed without the corresponding license, a message will appear
about one hour after each start-up of the computer. Install the diagnostics client license or
remove the diagnostics client software.
Computer with WinCC basic system and diagnostics client
If you install a diagnostics client on a computer with the WinCC basic system, you will have
to reinstall the diagnostics client after removing WinCC.

Overview of licenses for WebNavigator server and client

You can combine WebNavigator and diagnostics licenses.

 Requirements
2.2 Licensing

Restarting the WebNavigator client after license modification

If the WebNavigator licenses on the WebNavigator server are modified, e.g. to a different
number of clients, Internet Explorer must be restarted on each connected WebNavigator
client, and the WebNavigator client must log in again. Otherwise, the WebNavigator client
will switch to demo mode. This also applies to automatic reconnection of the WebNavigator
client.

Using WebNavigator versions prior to V7.4

WebNavigator versions up to V7.3 do not recognize licenses from WebNavigator V7.4 and
higher.
Once you install the WebNavigator V7.4 licenses on a computer, a WebNavigator installation
of a version prior to V7.4 can no longer be licensed.
This also applies if you upgrade to the new cumulative licenses through an upgrade license.
The upgraded licenses are no longer recognized by WebNavigator V7.3 or earlier versions.
The upgrade to WebNavigator V7.4 cannot be reversed.

Introduction
You can install the WebNavigator client as follows:
● Installation from the WinCC product DVD.
In this case, certain Windows user rights are necessary, depending on the operating
system.
● Installation via the Intranet/Internet.
In this case, certain Windows user rights are necessary, depending on the operating
system.
● Installation without user interaction:
– Using the Windows user rights of the current user
– Or in networks, using group policy-based software distribution
In addition, you can also install the WebNavigator client on the WebNavigator server. This is
useful, for example, if you want to check the WinCC project locally on the server in Internet
Explorer.

Note
.Net controls on the WebNavigator client
If you wish to use .Net controls on the WebNavigator client, you need to install the .Net

WinCC/WebNavigator Installation Notes

Installation Manual, 02/2016, Printout of the Online Help 21
Installing the WebNavigator client
4.1 Installing the WebNavigator client

Procedure
1. Entry and check of the settings of the client computer in Internet Explorer.
2. Installation of the WebNavigator client.

Note
If you are installing from the DVD or using software distribution based on group policy,
you can directly upgrade an older version of the WebNavigator client without having to
remove the older client first.
If you install the WebNavigator server on a PC after the WebNavigator client, you will
have to install the client again.
Plug-in reinstallation
The plug-ins "User Archive Control", "FunctionTrend Control", "Hardcopy" and "Web
Client" are already integrated in the WebNavigator client as of version V7.0 upon
installation.
If a WebNavigator client as of V7.0 is connected to a WebNavigator server older than
V7.0 (e.g. V6.2 SP3), you will be offered these plug-ins for installation in the download
area of the Web navigation user interface.
The plug-ins are already installed. Do not reinstall these plug-ins.

Information on the setup and installation of the WebNavigator client:

● Before downloading and installing a new version on the WebNavigator client, check the
languages installed on the client and connected server. Only the languages of the
connected server will be available on the client computer following client installation by
download.
● WebNavigator client setup will be interrupted with the error message "WinCC Active" if
the local WinCC project is open or has been opened since the PC was last restarted.
Restart the computer. Check whether WinCC has been included in the Autostart
directory. Remove the entry if necessary and then restart the computer to execute
WebNavigator client installation.
● You will need at least 70 MB of free memory space on the local hard disk to install the
WebNavigator client. Otherwise, the MSI setup will cancel installation with a
corresponding error message.
● When installing the WebNavigator client by downloading it from the Intranet/Internet, you
can select to either "Open" or "Save" the setup file. The procedure you select upon initial
installation of the WebNavigator client must also be selected for the subsequent
installation of plug-ins or ActiveX controls. Otherwise, the "MSI Installer" service will
output the error message "Error 1316".
Prior to installation via download, the latest cumulative security update for Internet
Explorer must be installed. Additional information is available in the Microsoft Update
KB3072449 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3072449).

 Installing the WebNavigator client
4.1 Installing the WebNavigator client

● In the download area of the Web Navigation user interface, the Plug-Ins which can be
installed are displayed. The same minimum user rights are required for installing these
plug-ins as for installation of the WebNavigator client. If you select a plug-in in the Web
Navigation user interface, WebNavigator client setup will start. You will have to confirm
the selected plug-in again.

Upgrading the WebNavigator client from a previous version

You can download and install the demo project from the "WinCC/WebNavigator and
WinCC/DataMonitor Demo Access" page at "www.wincc.de". The system checks whether
the latest version of WebNavigator client is installed. If an older version is present, the
WebNavigator client is also upgraded when you access the demo project.

Upgrade from WinCC V6.2 SP3

Perform a repair installation after upgrading from WinCC V6.2 SP3. To do so start the
WinCC/WebNavigator client installation with "Settings > Control Panel > Software" and
select "Repair". Otherwise, controls may be reinstalled during operation. Restart the
computer.

Installing the WebNavigator client under Windows Server

Installation of the WebNavigator client under Windows Server with a lower user authorization
than "Administrator" is not possible in the default setting of group policies.
Enable the installation of the WebNavigator client in the group policy by
● Assigning and making the software public
● Or activating the setting "Always install with elevated privileges" under "Administrative
Templates / Windows Components / Windows Installer". You must activate "Never" for
the "Deactivate Windows Installer" option.

Installing the WebNavigator client
4.2 User rights and user groups

4.2 User rights and user groups

Windows user rights required for installation and initial registration of the WebNavigator client
"Administrator" rights are required for installing the WebNavigator client via Intranet/Internet
or using the product DVD. The initial registration of the client on the WebNavigator server
must take place with the user identification used during installation and the same or higher
Windows user rights. The connections must be established successfully. All subsequent
logins can then be performed by users with different Windows user rights, which may be
more restricted.

Windows user groups "SIMATIC HMI" / "SIMATIC HMI VIEWER"

Following WinCC installation, WinCC automatically establishes the following local groups in
Windows User and Group Administration:

SIMATIC HMI These members may create local projects, and may process, start, and access
these projects remotely. Access to the WinCC database is limited to the mini-
mum rights necessary (read/write).
SIMATIC HMI These members have read access only to configuration and runtime data in the
Viewer WinCC database.

In the following cases you must add users of the WebNavigator client to a Windows user
group:
● The WebNavigator client is installed on a PC on which WinCC is already installed:
Users of the Web client must be members of the user group "SIMATIC HMI VIEWER" or
"SIMATIC HMI".
● The WebNavigator client accesses the WebNavigator server as "Remote Desktop" user:
Users of the Web client must be members of the user group "SIMATIC HMI VIEWER".

Installing the WebNavigator client with limited Windows user rights

The MSI technology used allows you to install the WebNavigator client even with limited
Windows user rights. This procedure can be set during the installation using the group policy
based software distribution in networks.
Even the add-ins and plug-ins for the WebNavigator client can be installed. "Administrator"
rights are required for the installation of plug-ins that were created with the WinCC Plug-In
Builder.

 Installing the WebNavigator client
4.2 User rights and user groups

Installation for a configured group of users or computers

Using the Microsoft Systems Management server or group policy on a Domain Controller, it
is possible to install a group of users or computers configured by the Administrator.
● For this the MSI file "WinCCWebNavigatorClient.msi" is published at the Domain
Controller and enabled for a user group. Installation is then performed either during login
of the defined users or when the computer is started, depending on the configuration of
the group policy-based software distribution.
● When using a Microsoft Systems Management Server, the installation is configured by
the administrator, triggered and executed when the relevant computer boots.

Group policy-based software distribution

Software is normally installed with the access rights of the current Windows user. When
using MSI technology, the installation is performed by an operating system service with a
higher level of rights. This enables installations for which the Windows user does not have
the necessary rights. Applications which require higher rights for installation are referred to
as "privileged installations" in MSI technology. Installation of these applications is possible
when a Windows user is assigned the "Always install with elevated privileges" permission.
A group policy is created in the domain controller for use of group policy-based software
distribution. The software to be distributed is then assigned or made public using Active
Directory.
● Assignment: Software distribution can be assigned to a user or a computer. The software
to be distributed is automatically installed when the user logs in or the computer is
started.
● Publication: The software distribution can be published for individual users. When the
user logs on to the client computer, the software to be distributed appears in a dialog and
can be selected for installation.

 Installing the WebNavigator client
4.5 Installation via the Intranet/Internet

Procedure
1. Go to the address bar of Internet Explorer and enter the URL "http://www.servername" of
the WebNavigator server. For installation in a virtual directory, the address can be as
follows: "http:// www.servername/WebNavigator/".
2. Type in the user name and password.
3. The first time you access the WebNavigator server, you will be prompted to install the
WebNavigator client. Click the "Click here to install" link. Click the "Save" button in the
"File Download" dialog to store the client setup on the target computer. It is
recommended to save the Setup file because, in the event of a restart of the client
computer being necessary, the Setup need not be downloaded again.

Note
If you have already installed the WebNavigator client and wish to install a more recent
version via the Intranet/Internet, open the client setup straight away. You do not need to
save the installation file on the target computer. Remove the old installation file first if you
wish to save the new one. Alternatively, you can save the new version of the file in a
different directory.

4. Leave the Internet Explorer open and open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the directory
in which you saved the setup file. Start setup by double-clicking on the file.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen and enter the information and settings necessary.
The client-side controls of the WebNavigator will be installed. Close the Setup dialog.

Result
Following successful installation, the WebNavigator client connects to the WinCC project
currently in runtime.

Note
If you want to use the on-screen keyboard, you also have to install .net 4.0. If you install the
WebNavigator client from the WinCC DVD, .net 4.0 is already included.
