Server Licenses

Acquire Server License

When you launch Environment Display, the AVEVA Batch Management services such as EnvMngr, HistQMngr, SecMngr, and so on get started.

When the SecMngr service starts, it requests the AVEVA Batch Management Server license (product license) from the configured license server. Once the server license gets acquired successfully, the Environment Display launches.

When you click “Exit” on the Environment Display, (instead of “Exit and Shutdown”), the view is closed. However, the AVEVA Batch Management services are still running in the background. Therefore, the server license still remains acquired. When you launch the Environment Display again, it just verifies the product license status.

Server License Acquisition Failure

If there is a failure in acquiring server license, an error message appears in a message box and in the SMC logger. All the AVEVA Batch Management services are in the “Stopped” state and the Environment Display is not launched.

Refresh Server Licenses

If any development or runtime clients are active, the SecMngr service monitors the active connections. The SecMngr service refreshes the server connections at an interval of 5 minutes and 24 hours respectively.

Release Server License

When you click “Exit and Shutdown” in the Environment Display, the SecMngr service gets stopped and the server license gets released. The license also gets released when the SecMngr service is stopped at any point in time.
