NOTE 1:
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 System Manager for all clients.
NOTE 2:
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.
NOTE 3:
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.
License Features Check
On system startup and at 5-minute intervals afterwards, the Desigo CC Server
carries out an automatic check on the installed license features and counts the:
● Installed Clients, Web Clients, and Windows App Clients. If a client disconnects
from the server (because it is manually shut down, or owing to a malfunction),
the count decreases.
● Physical objects in scan, such as Desigo CC data points, and third-party
objects (for example, SCADA data points). These objects are grouped by
disciplines (physical/logical objects). Every physical/logical object is
represented by the corresponding data point in the database. Out of scan
objects are not counted.
This check determines whether Desigo CC can run normally (Normal Mode) or
under special restricted license modes (Demo Mode or Courtesy Mode).
15.1.3 Normal License Mode
Desigo CC is functioning normally with a valid and sufficient license (sufficient
license features to cover the field hardware). In this case you will not see any
special messages on the expanded Summary bar.
