Users with a demo or SIP license can now simulate having fewer elements in their license.
This license simulation feature can help a systems integrator to develop for an end user that will be using a GENESIS64 Basic SCADA license or another license with a reduced feature set. The SIP license can be reduced to the features of Basic SCADA or to otherwise match the end user license. This can help ensure that the integrator does not unintentionally use features in the project that will not be usable on the end user's system without requiring the integrator to obtain a compatible license and apply it to the development system. The development system can continue using the integrator's SIP license, and the integrator can even switch back and forth between projects with different license requirements.
To Use the License Simulation Feature:
Open the License Viewer from either Start > ICONICS .NET Licensing > MonitorWorX Viewer or from Workbench > Tools > Licensing.
Go to the Simulator tab.
Select Enable Simulator.
Modify the License Count values as needed. To quickly switch to a Basic SCADA license, select the Basic SCADA Mode button. This will change the values below to simulate a GENESIS64 Basic SCADA license without any add-ons.
Note that to fully emulate GENESIS64 Basic SCADA functionality the user also needs to change the tag counting mode:
Open Platform Services Configuration from either Start > ICONICS Tools > Platform Services Configuration or Workbench > Tools > Platform Services Configuration.
Go to the License tab.
Change Tag Counting Mode to AssetWorX Tags.
Apply the changes.
Reboot the system when prompted.
When license simulation is enabled, an orange bar warning will be shown at the bottom of the license viewer.
License Simulation Warning
License simulation is supported for software or hardware keys, but not cloud licenses.
