AVEVA Licensing System

To operate, AVEVA software must be able to access the correct AVEVA Licensing System file, which should be installed on either the Server, on your workstation, or on a networked workstation. Refer to the AVEVA Licensing System Installation Guide for further information. News and update information is also available for AVEVA Licensing System on the AVEVA support web-site.

AVEVA Licensing as a Service

AVEVA Licensing as a Service (LaaS) is an alternative to using an AVEVA Licensing System (ALS) on your premises. Contact your AVEVA Account Manager for more information on LaaS. Further information is also available in the CONNECT Licensing documentation.

AVEVA Graphical Changes Service runs in tty mode, therefore the CONNECT User Interface does not display. Tokens must be setup before using the Credential Manager.

AVEVA Flex Licensing

AVEVA Flex licensing provides customers with the flexibility to adjust where credits are charged for their usage. The customer agrees to a Flex/Connect agreement. The agreement outlines the number of credits purchased and the contract period available for the credits to be consumed, which can be used to access both on-premises and Cloud/SaaS products.

During the contract period, the customer consumes products and services with credits charged based on the rate plan. Both AVEVA and customer users can track the usage within CONNECT.

For example, for any CONNECT account, the Flex agreement is created and based on the requirement of the customer. Credits are assigned to be utilized and the required products are added to that account. When you start consuming the products accordingly, the credits are utilized as per the agreement. Refer to Understand Flex credits CONNECT documentation for further information.
