# Server Setup

There are two components to setting up the server:

1. Enabling the server in the CodeMeter WebAdmin application.
2. Configuring and starting the ViDi Suite Service.

Note: These steps are only necessary when using the network licensing model of the client/server functionality, where the server has the Cognex Security Dongle, and the client does not have a Cognex Security Dongle. If the client devices have their own Cognex Security Dongle attached, this setup is not necessary.
