Before we get started you will need a few things:
1) The host computer should have internet browser and connection to the internet.
2) A MyKepware account. We recommend creating a site-wide username and password managed by a group rather than an individual. This will reduce issues with rehosting or transferring licenses in the future.
3) You must have Administrator level privileges on the host computer to install KEPServerEX.
4) Authentication Credentials for the KepWare License Utility if you choose this option during installation, once again we recommend Credentials that can be managed by a Group.
Caution: Microsoft Edge browser has known incompatibility issues with this process; use of an alternate browser is recommended The latest versions of Chrome or Firefox are recommended
