ftp://ftp.west.wonderware.com/Wonderware/

Alternatively, you can download files from their PACWest website, although these downloads require a login and password. Either way, you can then activate the software using your license code, which is obtained from your Wonderware supplier.

“The true test of the American ideal is whether we’re able to recognize our failings and then rise together to meet the challenges of our time. Whether we allow ourselves to be shaped by events and history, or whether we act to shape them.
