Rename OPCServer

Hi,

Is it possible to rename the OPC server without altering it through the ProgID, such as by modifying registry settings?

I am seeking this option because I have a program that fails to recognize the redirected ProgID. Consequently, although the OPC Client can see the tags, the program cannot. The necessity for changing the ProgID arises due to a server migration; the tags are originally configured with KEPServerEnterprise version 5, and I am currently in the process of migrating to version 6.

Thanks in advance

Although it definitely NOT recommended it appears it has been done before with a Kepware competitor called Matrikon. Here is a link to the article describing the process:

How do I change the program ID (ProgID) of an OPC Server? (site.com)

Please be aware that Kepware will accept no responsibility for any further issues caused by editing the registry as indicated in the article.

Thanks,
