Licensing

The AVEVA Communication Drivers Pack uses the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing platform to effectively manage its product licenses.

With activation-based licensing, the Communication Drivers Core can acquire the license locally or remotely as follows:

• Locally, if the local node acts as a license server

• Remotely, if a designated node on the network acts as a license server

The License Manager and License Server are required for license activation, deactivation, and maintaining the license rights. These components can be installed separately, or as a selectable feature during the Communication Drivers Pack install. For a node to act as a license server, the "License Server" should be installed during the installation process.
