However, the View SE server license does not include a client license, so if your View SE server is not a “headless” server, but instead will also be used as a client station, you'll then also need a client license for that system. The View SE Server license runs a distributed View SE project, and is available in 25, 100, 250, and unlimited graphic display count licenses. If you have the need for a client / server system, View SE is also has these licenses available. View SE Station (runtime) licenses are available in 15, 25, 100, 250, and unlimited graphic display counts. So while each Station (runtime) license theoretically has an unlimited tag count, every graphic display (aka picture, page, screen) used in the project, whether it's a small popup or faceplate or a large multi-monitor graphic, counts towards the license limit. This change was made because View SE can directly reference device tags or registers, completely eliminating the need for HMI tags. Unlike RSView32, FactoryTalk View SE Runtime licenses (called Station licenses) are sold by Graphic Display count, not tag count. How FactoryTalk View SE is licensed: Runtimes With that in mind, I always asked clients which vendor's PLC they were going to connect to in order to insure they were quoted an RSView32 bundle with either RSLinx or KepServer (it was cheaper to buy the bundle up front.)įor more information about RSView32 packages see the below website: RSView32 could be purchased without a PLC or OPC driver, however I never met anyone who didn't need one. When explaining the “Works” license, I always stress “ single license” since I've often found clients would misunderstand that it's just one license which could enable either the Runtime or Works, but not both at the same time or on separate PCs. RSView32 Works licenses on the other hand are a little different.Ī “Works” license is a single license that enables either development or runtime of a project with up to the number of device tags the license allows. They enabled the running (but not editing) of the RSView32 projects that contain up to the licensed limit of device tags. RSView32 Runtime licenses are pretty standard when compared to other SCADA software. However, internal memory tags do not count towards the license tag count limit. Now any tag which references a device address or register is counted toward the license limit. RSView32 licenses come in several different tag count sizes.įrom smallest to largest, they are 75, 150, 300, 1,500, 5,000, 32,000, and 100,000 tags.
The first question I usually ask is if the client understands how the two packages are licensed, and in today's article I'll explain how each is.

I talk to a lot of people these days who are looking to migrate their old RSView32 systems, usually running on Windows XP, to FactoryTalk View Site Edition running on Windows 7 or 8.
