Including Full Redundancy
ThinManager® Also Offers Redundant Licensing Options to Ensure High Availability
Licensing
12Copyright © 2018 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved.PUBLIC
Other Licensing Considerations
Remote Desktop Client Access Licenses (RDSCALs) There are 2 types available:
1. Per User – each unique user session requires an RDSCAL2. Per Device – each device receiving a session requires an RDSCAL
Per Device is generally more suitable for ThinManager® deployments
FactoryTalk® Licensing ThinManager® 11 will include the option to use FactoryTalk® Activation
With FactoryTalk® Activation, a new View SE Client license will be available that will require a single SE Client license for a single ThinManager-managed terminal
In the meantime, every Remote Desktop Server session delivering a FactoryTalk® client application requires a separate FactoryTalk® client license
