License by Phone

If your PMCS computer does not have an internet connection you may license your PMCS software over the phone by selecting the By Phone option on the Licensing Option Page. This will bring you to a Phone License screen. This screen provides a Toll-Free Assistance Line 1-888-GE-4-SERV (international callers, please use 540- 378-3888) that can be used to retrieve your unique eLicense key from a General Electric Industrial Systems customer support representative (please select Technical Support, then Software Licensing from the phone menu). You will be asked over the phone for your System Identifier, Version ID, and Order ID and in return you will be given your eLicense key. The eLicense Order ID from the License Confirmation sheet and the eLicense key given over the phone are required to Install the eLicense.

Host PC Installation

Every PMCS system requires one Host PC that is directly connected to the PMCS network and communicates with the power-management devices. The Host PC is also typically used to view and analyze data.

If you are installing multiple PMCS catalog numbers on the Host PC, you will need the CD and serial number from each package. Follow the Installation Steps section below. If the Host PC will be providing data to View Nodes, be sure to refer to GEH- 6510, Network and Device Configurator, to configure NetDDE for operation with the View Node PCs.

Viewer Workstation Installation

PMCS supports optional Viewer Workstations, which interact with the power- management network through NetDDE links to the Host PC. Viewer Workstations are not directly connected to the PMCS network but are connected via LAN to the Host PC. Viewer Workstations are not mandatory in a PMCS system because the data is available for display and analysis at the Host PC. When installing PMCS View Nodes, be sure to use only an appropriate catalog number for the installation. Do not install any other PMCS software on a PMCS Viewer Workstation.
