Runtime Licenses
Runtime licenses activate device functions (e.g., for fee-based libraries or bus systems). Using e!COCKPIT, the license can be transferred to a device and remains on the device.
The following license models are used for runtime licenses:
- Single license
1 license key for 1 device function - Point license
In contrast to a single license, a point license can be used to cover the entire licensing requirement for several functions. Each function is rated with a specific number of points. The points for required functions are added together to determine the total licensing requirement for a device and displayed (tooltip in the Project Licensing control panel). When ordering, the device licenses are combined to the extent possible. A common license key is then used to activate all combined functions.
Status for runtime licenses:
License Status | Description |
|---|---|
Available | The license key is already entered in the e!COCKPIT license manager, but the license has not been assigned to a device. The license is displayed in the Available Licenses control panel. |
Assigned | License that has already been assigned to a device (e.g., by drag & drop from the Available Licenses control panel to a device on the network/device view or to a device in the Project Licensing control panel. |
Linked | The license has been assigned to a device and loaded on the device via synchronization. |
Activated | The license has been saved (linked) to the device, activated using the license key and information on license use transferred to WAGO GmbH & Co. KG. |
Unbind | The license has been marked to unbind. The link is deactivated after the next synchronization operation and the license is displayed again in the Available Licenses control panel. |
Note
A point license cannot be divided between different devices!
If you purchase a point license, you can only load the associated points as a whole on one device. It is not possible to distribute the point on multiple devices. However, multiple point licenses can be used to purchase a device function.
Note
Only use license keys in accordance with the terms of the license agreement!
Do not use your license key outside the limits of your license model, otherwise you will be breaking the license agreement, which may have legal consequences.
Note
Note the license requirement!
The license requirement is displayed in the “Project Licensing” control panel (Ribbon > “VIEW” tab > [Project Licensing]).
In addition, the license requirement is displayed at other places in the e!COCKPIT interface indicated by a yellow warning triangle, e.g., in front of the respective device in the “Device structure” control panel or in the graphic or tabular network view. In addition, you are notified of the license requirement in the message window when compiling a project.
Note
Description for activating a license key
The description for activating a license key for e!COCKPIT itself is available under Starting.
Activating add-ons is described under Enabling Licensed Add-ons.
Activating additional device functions (runtime licenses) is described under Activating Runtime Licenses.
The descriptions of the Available Licenses and Project Licensing control panels are also available in the sections with the same name.
