1.7 Licensing
Licensing of the C-Bus OPC Server is divided into three categories:
demonstration, Clipsal C-Bus OPC Server, and CITECT licenses.
Demonstration licensing
If no physical licensing dongle is connected to the USB port of the host
computer, then the C-Bus OPC Server operates in Demo mode. This
means that the C-Bus OPC Server will only run for approximately one hour
and cannot operate in Production mode. The Demo license has no
restrictions on the number of C-Bus networks or OPC items that it can
use.
Clipsal C-Bus OPC Server licenses
The Clipsal C-Bus OPC Server supports the following licenses:
 2 network licenses
 10 network license
 Unlimited network license
C-Bus OPC Server licenses are contained in USB dongles, which can be
purchased from any authorised Clipsal dealer. Each USB dongle works on
a single C-Bus OPC Server installation. The number of C-Bus networks
available in the license must not be exceeded by the number of networks
configured for use with OPC Data Access and/or OPC Alarms and Events
interfaces by the C-Bus OPC Server.
CITECT licenses

CITECT. The following CITECT products are supported:
