License setup

AVEVA System Monitor can be installed in an unlicensed mode (BASIC Mode). In this mode, AVEVA System Monitor is limited to fully monitoring one selected machine.

AVEVA System Monitor requires a AVEVA System Monitor Activated License for full monitoring (Licensed mode) of all monitored machines. This license has an expiry date that coincides with the Customer First contract renewal date.

The un-activated XML license is installed into the License Manager and activated. AVEVA System Monitor needs to be configured to point to the associated License Server.

AVEVA System Monitor, with no activated license, will display BASIC in the SIGN IN dialog and will monitor the license Server(s) for all monitored machines. The SIGN IN dialog will display Licensed if the activated license is installed – all monitored machines will be fully monitored including the configured License Server(s).

AVEVA System Monitor, when licensed, uses activation-based licensing. Therefore, it requires an AVEVA License Server and an AVEVA License Manager from which a AVEVA System Monitor license can be acquired.

• If an activated license is detected (Licensed mode), AVEVA System Monitor provides FULL monitoring of an unlimited number of machines.

• If no activated license is detected (BASIC mode), AVEVA System Monitor provides license server and license acquisition monitoring for all machines using software that requires activation-based licensing and FULL monitoring for one machine (user-selected).

  Note: The AVEVA System Monitor SSRS reports are not available in the BASIC mode.
