Understand Enterprise Licensing

AVEVA Enterprise Licensing 4.2 is the latest version of the Licensing system.

The Platform Common Services (PCS) framework is required for AVEVA Enterprise Licensing 4.2 to run in secure mode.

When you install/upgrade Licensing 4.2 components on a machine with the PCS framework already installed, the Licensing components (License Server and License Manager) are automatically configured in secure mode. Without PCS installed, the licensing system runs in unsecure mode. This is not recommended, as the licensing system will be vulnerable.
