License in InTouch HMI

InTouch HMI uses the AVEVA Enterprise License Server to make licenses available to InTouch. The AVEVA Enterprise License Manager manages one or more License Servers.

To make licenses available to InTouch HMI, complete the following steps:

1. Import the entitlement XML file received upon purchase of the license.

2. Using the License Manager interface, select the licenses on the entitlement that you want to activate on the License Server.

3. Once the licenses are activated, they becomes available to WindowMaker or WindowViewer upon start up.

The activated licenses appear in the License Manager under the License Grid.

InTouch releases and returns the consumed license to the License Server when:

• The machine running InTouch is shutdown or

• The InTouch application is shutdown

  Note: In the event of InTouch HMI shutting down abnormally, licenses will not be returned. InTouch HMI must be restarted and manually shut down to release licenses.

The License Manager and License Server are installed with InTouch HMI. InTouch HMI will point to your local License Server by default. You can change this configuration in the post-install Configurator. Refer to the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Guide for the detailed procedure.

InTouch licenses are based on varying numbers of tags you can use while running an application. You need to understand how tags are counted with the InTouch license scheme. You can use a set of functions to calculate the anticipated number of remote reference tags in your applications.

Important: Licensing numbers are subject to change at any time.
