A. Delete an OPC driver, which has been configured in the Open Communication Protocols in Wonderware
Quick Reports license, and configure a new OPC driver in the Wonderware folder in Dream Report driver
configuration section ("Application Server (local or remote)" or "InTouch local or remote using FS
Gateway"). In this case all existing log groups (data) for this driver will be lost.
B. Perform the following actions for changing driver configuration (in this case all log groups (data) won't be lost):
1. Configure Wonderware OPC driver in the Wonderware folder in Dream Report driver configuration section
("Application Server (local or remote)" or "InTouch local or remote using FS Gateway");
2. Close Dream Report studio;
3. In the Project folder open ProjectCfg.mdb file and select the table "Data Sources" where all data about the
drivers, which have been configured in the project, are stored;
4. In the "Data Sources" table select this newly configured Wonderware OPC driver and copy data from all
sections (except for the "Driver Definition" section, it must remain unchanged) into the corresponding sections of
the configured OPC driver which you want/need to keep for your project;
5. Delete the configured Wonderware OPC driver from the "Data Sources" table.
6. Now, the OPC driver, which has been defined in the project with the Wonderware Quick Reports license, will
have the configuration of a Wonderware OPC driver allowed by Wonderware in the Wonderware Dream Report
license and all the existing data (log groups) won't be lost.
Example: if you have "OPC DA real-time values" driver with the name "OPC_DA" configured in the project in
Wonderware Quick Reports and you upgrade your license to Wonderware Dream Report and you don't want to
lose your data (log groups) from the driver "OPC_DA", please do the following:
1. Configure a new Wonderware OPC driver (for example, with the name "WW_OPC") in the Wonderware
folder in Dream Report driver configuration section ("Application Server (local or remote)" or "InTouch local or
remote using FS Gateway");
2. Close Dream Report studio;
3. In the Project folder open ProjectCfg.mdb file and select the table "Data Sources";
4. In the "Data Sources" table select "WW_OPC" driver and copy data from all sections (except for the "Driver
Definition" section) into the corresponding sections of the "OPC_DA" driver.
5. Delete the "WW_OPC" driver from the "Data Sources" table.
6. Now the "OPC_DA" driver will have the configuration of the "WW_OPC" driver (allowed by Wonderware) but
the existing log groups (data) from the "OPC_DA" driver won't be lost.
7. Invalid License
If during Dream Report installation the Invalid license message box appears, please, consider the following
reasons for this:
1. The software license (file license.dat) has been installed on the wrong PC, i.e., in case when the activation file
(activation.dat) was generated on one PC and the license file is being used for another PC.
2. The software license (file license.dat) or the hardware USB key protection license is used with the wrong/old
version.
3. The USB plug license has an error in reading the USB plug - then, the driver has to be reinstalled and a user
should contact the Dream Report technical support team ([email protected]).
6.1. USB License Upgrade: Invalid License
NOTE: Please, note that when the hardware (USB key) license is upgraded, the problem with its upgrade may
occur due to the incorrect functioning of HASP driver currently installed on the computer where user tries to run
upgrade on Dream Report USB plug. If this is the case, please do the following:
1. Unplug the key.
2. Uninstall the existing HASP driver as follows:
a. Run command line;
b. Set path to <path to >\ODS\Dream Report\Utilities;
c. Run the following command “<path to executable>\ haspdinst.exe” –kp -r.
3. Install the new version of HASP driver (it is located in “Utilities” folder of Dream Report) as follows:
