License Mode

You can configure the License Mode in the Configurator under Common Platform tab.

The following License Mode options are available:

• Perpetual: A specific AVEVA product license purchased for use in perpetuity.

• Flex: Choose subscription license separately for a range of AVEVA products. Purchase Flex credits to license use of any AVEVA cloud, hybrid or on-premises products for a recurring period.

• AVEVA Operations Control: A subscription license for at least one of two AVEVA Operations Control packages (Edge, Supervisory); includes unlimited use of all products in the product package for your defined set of users.

  • connected experience: Select to enable a Single Sign-on (SSO) experience across all Operations Control products for that node with CONNECT cloud capabilities.

    • The connected experience requires an CONNECT account with a valid Operations Control subscription and user management.

    • Selecting the connected experience option enables the behavior of all Operations Control products on that node to require log in authentication with CONNECT when starting the first product on the node. Products on the node subsequently launched will authenticate using SSO. CONNECT-based authorization is the only security mode available under the connected experience.

    • The connected experience must be enabled on all nodes in your system. Applications previously build on nodes not enabled for the connected experience must be reconfigured to function in the connected experience environment.

    • You can deselect the connected experience at any time, but the v must be disabled on all nodes in your system. Applications built under the connected experience must be reconfigured to function under a non-Connected Experience environment including both authentication methods and product license.
