When a project completes, an EPC may hand over the project database to the Owner Operator. The number of EPC databases that are handed over, as well as the tools that the databases are from determine whether the tool signature for the database can be re-registered to the Owner Operator’s SmartPlant Foundation site.
-
If only one EPC is handing over the database, then the tool signature can be re-registered to the Owner Operator's SmartPlant Foundation site.
-
If more than one EPC is handing over databases for tools other than Smart 3D, then only one of the databases can be registered to the Owner Operator’s SmartPlant Foundation site.
-
If more than one EPC is handing over databases with a Smart 3D tool signature, all of the EPC databases can be registered to the Owner Operator’s SmartPlant Foundation site.
Smart 3D is the only tool that supports multiple registrations to the same SmartPlant Foundation site.
