I am modifying an old Lookout process that was not a client /server setup. I want to make a copy of the program, one to be renamed and used as the server process and the other copy to be used as the client process.
In the server process I want to keep the data member configurations that connect to all the field devices and delete all the controls, ie pots, control panels, switches, expressions, etc.
In the client copy, I'll delete all the connections to the field devices and use the existing graphics, pots, switches, expressions etc and link them to the server via a symbolic link.
I'm following the steps in the Lookout Developers Manual (3-10) but I can't get Lookout to open in a second instance. It opens my Client process in the same instance as the Server process which doubles the amount of points I have, which exceeds the licensed I/O count and and then it goes into a 2 hour automatic shut down which doesn't give me enough time to delete enough points to get under the licensed I/O count. And you can't save any changes unless you're within the licensed I/O count.
Is there a setting which allows opening of 2 instances of Lookout or would it matter anyways as the total points in the 2 instances would still exceed the licensed I/O count.
