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

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.
