The information and links below give you an overview of the general requirements for installing STEP 7 Professional / Basic and WinCC Professional / Advanced.
WinCC/WebUX provides the option of displaying WinCC screens in the web browser. Below are some special points you should watch out for.
WinCC
(TIA Portal) requires exclusive access to all project-relevant files
for processing a configuration. If this access is blocked by other
applications (virus scanners, for example), the compilation process is
aborted.
Several requirements must be fulfilled in the configuration of your Windows environment in order to enable multi-user operation of WinCC. If the settings required for this are not correct, there is no guarantee that WinCC functions error-free in multi-user mode or whether it is at all possible.
How to open an integrated project (SIMATIC Manager) in WinCC V7.5 is described in this FAQ response. This is useful, for example, if you want to delete tags from an integrated project but get a message that you have read-only access to them.
