license cannot be bound or no correct functionality is available, the eKERNEL tab-page is not
updated, and the crossed-through key icon remains.
eAPI and eWEB
eAPI and eWEB do not send configuration requests. To ensure that eAPI and eWEB are
licensed properly, eKERNEL checks these two functionality models individually. If eAPI and
eWEB are found in the License system, the TCP/IP ports for any clients of this kind are opened.
If no eAPI or eWeb functionality is available in the license system, the ports are not opened
and the eAPI or eWeb clients are not able to connect.
License maintenance
Every 24 hours, at midnight, each client that is connected to the eKERNEL is checked to
determine whether the license is still valid. If the Application license (eKERNEL program) is
expired, eKERNEL sends a message to all of its clients and closes all of its ports, so no client
is able to reconnect. After checking the Application license, equipment and functionality models
are checked for validation.
When installing a new license with more available equipment models or adding one of the
functionality models eWeb or eAPI, the eKERNEL must explicitly be told about the new license.
To tell eKERNEL about a new license, use the menu command: eKERNEL > License >
Recheck license of all clients (open port) as shown in
Figure 143: Rechecking
licenses on page 194.
Note:
eKERNEL makes this same check automatically at midnight. Note that rechecking all
licensing is a time-consuming process.
Figure 143: Rechecking licenses
When installing a new license with new available functionality (eGuardian or eWatchdog), the
eKERNEL must be told about the new license. To tell eKERNEL about a new license, use the
Module - eKERNEL
