2. In the General tab add or change the description.
3. Click Apply to save the changes.

## Options

- Description

  You can add text to describe the HMI server or edit an existing description.

- Project file

  Shows the location of the HMI server project file.

- Number of displays

  Shows the number of displays contained in the HMI server project.

- Licensed maximum

  Shows the maximum number of displays that can be contained in the HMI server project. The activation key that the HMI server is using sets this limit.
