FactoryTalk® Optix Studio
Options

FactoryTalk® Optix Studio
is available in two options, Standard and Pro.
  • FactoryTalk® Optix Studio
    Standard is a locally installed design editor and lets you create and deploy applications from your device. Standard is available at no cost and provides editing tools for designing HMIs with no activation or entitlement required.
  • FactoryTalk® Optix Studio
    Pro is a cloud-based editor that can run in a web browser or as a locally installed application.
    FactoryTalk® Optix Studio
    Pro requires a subscription, based on a user entitlement.
    FactoryTalk® Optix Studio
    Pro provides technical support and features that require a cloud connection, such as cloud-based code repository integration, cloud-hosted version control, remote deployment (requires
    FactoryTalk® Remote Access
    ), and multi-user collaboration.
    IMPORTANT:
    FactoryTalk® Optix Studio
    Pro requires an entitlement that you must allocate to an organization.
    FactoryTalk® Optix Studio
    Pro entitlements are then assigned to organization users. See FactoryTalk Optix Studio Entitlement.
