#1 Rule:Always work with your local Schneider Sales Representative to properly price and license your Vijeo Citect SCADA licenses

2

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

3

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

4

Citect’s “Dynamic” Point Count• Citect / Vijeo Citect 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() Cicode functions• DDE, OPC, ODBC, ADO or the CTAPI (Historian)

5

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.

6

!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.
