Product Family
Depending on your FactoryStudio license, you may have options here to build applications for a specific version of FactoryStudio.
*Tip: If you don’t have a license, only the Express family will show. Even when you have a license you may want to create Express projects to share demos and tutorials with users that don’t have a license installed.
Refer to FactoryStudio Versions and Licenses, for more information about the product families. A basic description of the product families is
Enterprise—Complete FactoryStudio functionality
HMI—Use for smaller applications and embedded systems.
