Obtaining a Plant SCADA Runtime License

Plant SCADA requires a license to run as a display client in Plant SCADA Access Anywhere. By default, the display client will obtain the Plant SCADA license it requires from a server to which it is connected (an alarm, trend, report or I/O server).

If you want the display client to use a Plant SCADA license that is hosted locally on the computer where Plant SCADA Access Anywhere is running, you need to check the following:

• The license needs to be configured locally on the Plant SCADA Access Anywhere computer.

• The Citect.ini file on the Plant SCADA Access Anywhere computer needs to have the [Client]UseLocalLicense parameter set to 1.

• Plant SCADA needs to be running as a Windows Service.
