Configure product options

Using the Configure Product Options tool, you can install and configure product options that you license and/or service providers that you have created.

Before you begin

Proficy services must be stopped on the server prior to configuring product options.

If you have created and packaged your service provider, you must copy it to an accessible location.

Note: Refer to Architecture Considerations for guidelines on deploying service providers based on architecture mode.
Important: Product Options Installation Information. When using the ActiveX Task List, product option updates made on the server are not automatically deployed to applications using the Task List. The ProficyUpdater.exe application must be run manually, with administrative privileges, in order to deploy production option updates on each client machine using ActiveX Task List.
