option license is installed in the system (in the Management View of System
Browser, at the following path: Project > Management System > Servers >
Main Server > Licenses); otherwise you will not be able to initiate Assisted
Treatment and execute any operating procedures that have been configured;
you can use the other alarm-handling methods provided by the system (Fast
Treatment and Investigative Treatment). If the license is installed but later
expires or is lost for any reason, Assisted Treatment is available only for those
events that were already undergoing Assisted Treatment, and that have an
associated operating procedure. If a new event occurs, Fast Treatment and
Investigative Treatment will remain available.
● In addition to the license, the availability of Assisted Treatment depends:
– On your user group rights. If you have no appropriate access permission,

– On the system configuration (that is, on whether an assisted procedure has
been configured for handling a particular type of alarm. If there is no such
procedure configured, Investigative Treatment is available instead.
