These changes will ensure compliance with your software license device level count.

Select the “Configure” Menu
Click “Program Options”
Select “Web Server”
Select the box to “Enable the Web Server“
Set the “Automatically logon…” option with the username & password (admin/admin, assuming defaults)

To Run the Home Workspace Report:
Launch Web Server by selecting “Reports” then “All”
If login page displays, enter a valid username and password (admin/admin, assuming defaults)
Select “Home Workspace” Tab
