Welcome to ClearSCADA
Welcome to ClearSCADA, our SCADA system software. ClearSCADA
is a powerful client-server SCADA system with:

System Requirements
Operating Systems
ClearSCADA can be installed on 32 bit or 64 bit computers.
Systems running on server hardware need to use server operating
systems such as Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, or
Windows Server 2000. Server operating systems are designed for
servicing entire systems rather than individual computers or small
networks, and are therefore better suited for larger ClearSCADA
systems with more than two clients.
Systems running on desktop hardware need to run desktop
operating systems that are designed for user interaction on the
computer on which they are installed. ClearSCADA supports the
following operating systems:

Next Steps
A number of tools are available to help new users get started with
ClearSCADA.
1. Videos from the ClearSCADA Setup utility, select Getting
Started. From this page three videos are available;
a. Introduction to ClearSCADA this provides a general
introduction to the concepts used in ClearSCADA. This video
will take you through creating points, mimics, alarms, trends and
object menus.
b. Introduction to DNP3 this video will show you how to create
database objects to communicate with a DNP3 device.
c. Introduction to SCADAPack Modbus this video will show
you how to create database objects to communicate with a
SCADAPack RTU.
2. ClearSCADA Tutorial the online help contains a Tutorial for users
to step through their first configuration. This will explore concepts
such as using ViewX, using the WebX client, configuration as well
as templates and instances.
3. Presentation as part of the installed Example Projects, a
presentation is available that describes the key features and
benefits of ClearSCADA and how ClearSCADA differs from other
products. This provides a great overview of the key concepts
that will be useful as you start to design and build ClearSCADA
systems.
4. E xample Projects the example projects installed as a part of
the Demonstration Installation show you how to configure a real
database, considering concepts such as database structure,
security as well as templates and instances.
Further information is available on our Resource Centre and you can

Hardware License
The USB key hardware license has the advantage of not being PC
specific. The key can be used on any PC running ClearSCADA which
means a user may, in effect, take their license with them. The
downside to the USB key hardware license is that once removed,
ClearSCADA reverts back to demo mode which means the USB key
must be inserted at all times in order for the license to be seen as
valid by the ClearSCADA Server.

Within one business day, you will receive a response to your email
complete with the required license file and instructions to activate
your license.
