  - Install Time Registration
    During the installation process, you will be prompted to provide the Configuration Hub and Proficy Authentication server details for product registration with Configuration Hub and for updating the product with Proficy Authentication. After successful installation, the product will automatically register with Configuration Hub and appear as a plug-in within Configuration Hub.
  - Central Registration
    If you did not register your Proficy product with Configuration Hub during product installation, you must take additional steps (after you have installed both Configuration Hub and Proficy Authentication) to register your Proficy product (such as iFIX, CIMPLICITY, Operations Hub, or Historian) with Configuration Hub.

Product Registration Overview

The Central Registration and Install Time Registration features improve product registration with Configuration Hub. Configuration Hub facilitates the registration of product plug-ins and centralizes the management of these plug-ins. These registration options ensure a seamless and harmonized user experience across the installation and registration processes for various products.

There are two methods available to register your product plug-ins:

Install Time Registration: Allows the product to be registered with Configuration Hub during product installation. This method requires Configuration Hub and Proficy Authentication details before installing the product.
Note: If you choose this method, ensure that the Configuration Hub and Proficy Authentication server details are available before the product installation. For more details, see Install Time Registration.
Central Registration: Allows you to centrally register the product plug-in with Configuration Hub from within Configuration Hub after product installation. It does not require the prior installation of Configuration Hub and Proficy Authentication before product installation.
Note: If you choose this method, configure the Node Manager utility by providing the Proficy Authentication server details to update the product with Proficy Authentication. For more details, see Central Registration.

Note:

You can centrally unregister the product within Configuration Hub, regardless of which registration method you used to register the plug-in.
To make use of the Central Registration and Install Time Registration enhancements implemented in version 2024, you must upgrade Configuration Hub and Proficy Authentication to version 2024 or higher.
