#1 Rule: Always work with your local Schneider Sales Representative to properly price and license your Vijeo Citect SCADA licenses
2
USB License Keys
• Contain License CALs “Client Access Licenses”
• CALs are shared across the network to any server that require it
• Typical CALS: • Full License
• Required to run an IO / Alarm / Report / Trend server
• Includes 1 client license which can run locally on the server (Or can be used by another computer if the Computer Setup Wizard Full License box is checked)
• Client • Control Client
• View Only Client
• Web / Internet Control Client
• Web / Internet View Only Client
3
SCADA Point Count
• Maximum number of runtime variable tags that can be used by your system
• Memory or Disk variable do NOT count against your points
4
Citect’s “Dynamic” Point Count
• Citect / Vijeo Citect 7.0 and higher use a “dynamic-point licensing” model (See Knowledgebase article Q4939 )
• Citect uses the Dynamic Runtime count of all tags used
• Alarms
• Trends
• Reports
• Events
• Page Tags
• Super Genies
• TagRead() and TagWrite() Cicode functions
• DDE, OPC, ODBC, ADO or the CTAPI (Historian)
5
Variable count != Point count
• 1200 Variable Tags defined in your project may not require a 1200 point license.
• The runtime Dynamic point count in your project is often much lower than your total variable count.
6
! WARNING:
If the Runtime Dynamic Point Count is
ever greater than the license’s point
count, a license error will occur and
Citect will shutdown.
Tag Count in Citect 7.3+
•No more “Double Point” counting in multi-process mode
•Tags shared by different processes in multi-process mode will now be only counted once
8
Viewing The Dynamic Count • Using the Citect Kernel’s “General” View you can see the
current Dynamic count (you may need to resize the window)
9
Helpful Citect.ini Parameters
• [General]WatermarkedPointCount Enables displaying of “watermark messages” when the dynamic point count reaches the limit set points
• [General]PointCountHigh Percentage at which “watermark message” will be displayed
• [General]PointCountHighHigh Percentage at which a 2nd “watermark message” will be displayed
• [General]PointLimitMsg Determine weather Citect will stop the point limit from being exceeded or simply shutdown.
