Citect/Plant Scada Anywhere vs Web Client

Dear All,

my client is requesting us to provide a HTML5 web interface, i am wonder what is the different between Plant Scada Anywhere and the existing Web Client.
Appreciate if someone can guide me:

1) Is Plant SCADA anywhere a different software that need to install on top of Plant SCADA? 
2) I will have some activeX in my graphic like date time picker and data grid, if i am using Plant SCADA anywhere, since is HTML5 mean the activex still working? or user still need to configure browser security and download activex component? (Which we try to avoid that)
3) Is the current web client still using the activex method to run on client pc browser?

Thank you

    1. Yes. Basically, Plant SCADA Anywhere is Remote Desktop in Web (HTML5). You need to install it on a remote desktop server (ie, terminal server) where the SCADA runtime client is installed, and you also need to purchase RDS licenses from Microsoft.
    2. Your ActiveX controls in the project will work as they are now. The anywhere software use "Virtual RDS" technology to display your graphics pages in HTML5.
    3. Yes, the current web client still uses the legacy ActiveX container to host SCADA project runtime on IE (already end of life).
