licensing 1 • configure DC • each 73 or 41 adds a license • each tablet/mobile needs a license • add App Objects as necessary, such as iPad, tablet, etc order SD Card as necessary loads license info app checks 2 3 4 3 SKUs EQ-APP-5 EQ-APP-10 EQ-APP-X • controller • holds license info • pings SD card periodically • app • checks with ctrlr for authentication • checks with ctrlr for license qty • if no license at start – will not start • if no license after config – splash screen appears
licensing • EQ-APP Licensing Model • equinox 73 & equinox 41 devices do NOT need a license • apple, android and future other non-vantage devices (pcs, macs) DO need a license • purchasing a 73 or a 41 and installing on project will provide 1 app license each • the equinox app will be free and downloadable from the app stores (iTunes, marketplace) • licenses for apps are added automatically through the DC file to the controller and need to be on and configured • A license will be needed per project to cover "X" qty devices past any 73 or 41 counts example: a dealer purchases and installs two 73s and one 41 for a project. that project is allowed up to 3 mobile/tablet apps for iPad and/or android. if more apps are needed, the dealer can purchase and install the appropriate SD card in the controller to allow “X” more app devices.
licensing • EQ-APP Licensing Model • 3 appSKUs: • 1-5 devices (EQ-APP-5) • 6-10 devices (EQ-APP-10) • 11+ devices (EQ-APP-X) • flat rate SKUs - no discounts, no commissions • licensing follows a “floating” license model (any authorized app device can connect, but once max # is reached no more can access controller • benefit - allows users to buy replacement or new iPads and add them without having to contact dealer • if more devices are needed, dealer can purchase the next SD SKU for more devices • dealer could reuse low qty SD card for next project • upgrade path: existing vantage app stays independent. if existing home wants app either buy a 73 or the license.
