Courtesy Mode Characteristics
● When Courtesy Mode is active, this is visually indicated on the Summary bar in
red, with a countdown timer that shows how much time is left.
● If you check the licenses, any license features that are insufficient will be
highlighted in red. The Required, Assigned and Remaining columns will
indicate the discrepancy: Remaining shows how many of the installed copies of
that license feature are still unused while Assigned shows how many copies of
that license feature are being used by the system.
● During Courtesy Mode, if a sufficient set of license features is detected during a
license check (that is, the site project was reconfigured so that all the field
objects are licensed), the Desigo CC Server switches back to Normal Mode.
● If the Desigo CC Server switches back to Courtesy Mode, the countdown timer
does not restart from 30 days, but from the previous time remaining in Courtesy
Mode.
● After the Desigo CC Server has run in Normal Mode for 180 days without
switching to Courtesy Mode, the next time it switches to Courtesy Mode, the
countdown timer starts at 30 days.
● If the time allowed for operation in Courtesy Mode expires, Desigo CC shuts
down and it is necessary to install again all the license features required to run
the system.
