View the License
The license data is available in the Management View of System Browser at the
following path:
Project > Management System > Servers > Main Server > Licenses.
You can also quickly automatically point to the Licenses node by clicking the
license text (for example, Demo Mode, or Courtesy Mode) in the Summary bar.
License Data
The license workspace shows you the current license mode (for example, Normal
Mode) and a list of the installed license features.
For each license feature:
 Required indicates how many copies of that license feature must be installed
for the system to operate normally (that is, for Desigo CC to run in Normal
Mode). Note that the
Required column will show 0 for option license features
(such as Assisted Treatment) because the system will still function in Normal
Mode even without those features installed.
 Assigned indicates how many copies of that license feature are being used by
the system. The
assigned copies of each license feature must match (or
exceed, in the case of option license features) the
required copies for the
system to run in Normal mode.
 Remaining indicates how many copies of that license feature are still available
(that is, how many of the installed copies are still unused).
Notes:
 For license features covering software functionality, one assigned copy is
sufficient to enable that functionality for all Desigo CC clients. For example,
Assigned=1 for sbt_gms_ext_sm enables the System Manager application for
all Clients.
 For license features covering field data points, the Required column indicates
how many are physically connected to the Desigo CC server: the
Assigned
column must match this value (for the system to run in Normal mode); and the
Remaining column shows how many further points you can connect.
 Some license features have the effect of providing unlimited copies of another
license feature. For example, one assigned copy of
Unlimited Web or Installed
Clients
(sbt_gms_add_max_cl ) sets the assigned copies of Concurrent Web or
Installed Client Sessions
(sbt_gms_add_client) to Unlimited .
