CIMPLICITYCIMPLICITY Program File Components
The following CIMPLICITY components are installed with the CIMPLICITY program files. Licensed features will be enabled when installation is complete. You can enable other features at any time by simply obtaining the appropriate license.
Important: Components that are identified as:
| Legacy | Accommodate clients who are still using them from previously configured CIMPLICITY versions. This will give you time to upgrade your systems. |
| As-Is | Are not actively being developed or supported. |
These features support equipment that is obsolete or functionality that has been superseded by far more effective and efficient functionality. Therefore, these features will not be available in the next major CIMPLICITY release after version 10.
Server/Viewer Development components
