Reinstalling WorkStation and Client Tools

​​You reinstall WorkStation and client tools to replace your current installation with a fresh copy.​

Important:

For reinstallation, it is assumed that you already have working and available WorkStation, Graphics, Script, and Menta / Function Block licenses. A working license for each product is required to start and log on. If necessary, acquire the needed licenses.

Note:

When reinstalling the WorkStation, additional language packages are removed.
