Project Licensing
All devices that have a license requirement are displayed in the “Project Licensing” control panel. The license requirement, for example, is based on certain device functions or libraries. What license articles are available and required are displayed for each device.
Before licenses are transferred to devices, available licenses must be assigned to devices. Licenses can be manually assigned to devices (in the Network view or in the “Project Licensing” control panel) by drag & drop from the “Available Licenses” control panel. Only the number of licenses required to cover the license requirement is used. Alternatively, available licenses can also be automatically assigned to devices ([Auto-assign all] button). e!COCKPIT then attempts to cover the entire license requirement for the project from available licenses already entered.
When synchronizing, licenses already on the devices are loaded and all new licenses are transferred to the devices.
