enteliWEB Installation and Licensing — Server Setup Guide

Quick Answer

enteliWEB installs on Windows Server with IIS and Microsoft SQL Server as prerequisites. The installer configures the web application, creates the database, and opens the initial setup wizard for license activation and first login.

System Requirements

• OS — Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022
• Web Server — IIS with ASP.NET enabled
• Database — SQL Server 2016+ (Express for small sites, Standard for large deployments)
• RAM — 8 GB minimum, 16 GB+ for large point counts
• Disk — 20 GB for application; additional for trend log storage
• .NET — .NET Framework 4.8+

Installation Walkthrough

1. Enable the IIS role on Windows Server with ASP.NET components
2. Install and configure SQL Server (create a dedicated instance)
3. Download the enteliWEB installer from the Delta Controls partner portal
4. Run the installer as Administrator
5. Select the SQL Server instance and authentication method
6. Complete the wizard — the installer creates the database schema and IIS web application
7. Navigate to http://localhost/enteliweb in a browser
8. Complete the initial setup wizard (admin account, license activation)

License Activation

Enter the license key provided by Delta Controls. Activation can be performed online (automatic) or offline (manual activation file exchange). The license defines the maximum point count and concurrent user sessions.

SQL Server Selection

• SQL Server Express — Free, suitable for small sites (under 5,000 points). Limited to 10 GB database size.
• SQL Server Standard — Required for large deployments with extensive trend log history and high point counts.

Backup and Restore

Back up the enteliWEB SQL database using standard SQL Server backup tools. Schedule regular automated backups for disaster recovery. The enteliWEB application configuration files in the IIS directory should also be backed up.
