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
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
Citect’s “Dynamic” Point Count • Citect / VijeoCitect 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() Cicodefunctions • DDE, OPC, ODBC, ADO or the CTAPI (Historian) Dynamic Runtime Count
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. 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. !
Version Licensing Changes • V2.0 - V6.10 • V7.0, V7.10, V7.20 • V7.3+ Static Tag Count Compile Time Dynamic Runtime Count Sum of Dynamic Runtime Count of Each Process Dynamic Runtime Count
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
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)
Helpful Citect.ini Parameters • [General]WatermarkedPointCountEnables displaying of “watermark messages” when the dynamic point count reaches the limit set points • [General]PointCountHighPercentage at which “watermark message” will be displayed • [General]PointCountHighHighPercentage at which a 2nd “watermark message” will be displayed • [General]PointLimitMsgDetermine weather Citect will stop the point limit from being exceeded or simply shutdown. *DISABLED BY DEFAULT
