Network licence key

The license file (i.e. the PmXXXX.swk file) designed for PmLicServer license server contains the network license for PROMOTIC system application (license client). In the file name of the license file, there is a license number (e.g. the file name is Pm3401.swk, where 3401 is the license number).

This type of license file is bound to a single individual PmLicServer license server, that is protected by its own HW Key. It means that the license file is functional only with PmLicServer license server program running on the computer, where the specific HW Key is connected.

The complete license for the PROMOTIC application is contained in the license file.

For more detailed description of configuration, location of license files and principles of network licenses - see PmLicServer license server.

Caution:

The network license is valid only for one running application. If two applications are to run on a computer (e.g. a server application and a visualization application), then each of them needs its own license.

Commissioning:

a) License server - The license file it is necessary to copy into the \Licences folder.

b) License client - In the application INI file (for runtime - PmRt), or in PROMOTIC INI file (for the development environment - PmDev and PmDevSchool) (since version Pm8.3.0) it is necessary to create the section [Licence] and in this section to create the key Medium as described below (reference to a PmLicServer license server and to a specific Network licence key):

[Licence]

Medium=netkey:http://192.168.1.99:5656/Pm1234.swk

, where the netkey indicates the network license, http or https specifies the protocol, followed by the IP address or computer name, internal Web server port and the license SWK file name.

Caution:

- app.ini files of PROMOTIC application bound to PmLicServer license server

Recommendation:

- The license file has to be backed up (archived).
