Configuring the servers in the DataClient

LicenseClient
At least these two servers must be set.

If one of the two server addresses are still missing, you can add them via Add.... Note that valid credentials must be provided for each server (in the case of Vitra it's the login to the Extranet). Both server addresses must be active in order to download and install updates from them.

After closing the settings using the OK button, the DataClient is now set for automatic retrieval of both servers (Vitra and EasternGraphics). The update can be started immediately.
