Software Licensing

pandoramc
pandoramc over 1 year ago

Recently I was checking the HMI and Modicon Device usage with the official Schneider Electric software, unfortunately, I got stuck with the following situation,

The operator terminal does not allow the interface upload since my software is in trial version, provided by the official Schneider web portal.

According to documentation, we require a Professional license to do it. I am not able to acquire a license, which is a bit expensive to use only in the challenge, and I worried about this because I think the Modicon M251 has the same mechanism.

Someone know how we can use the software with special licensing for the challenge? This brings a new challenge since the license was not considered in the original project.

    I know I need to speak to a sales-guy regarding software licencing. Something I've been avoiding. Once sales knows you are interested it is hard to shake them. I'm a long way from a purchase commitment…

    Can you tell me how this license fits into the equipment purchase?

    I was hoping to get an understanding of the total cost of ownership if I invested in this equipment.

    I think that one needs to contact sales support for that.. But maybe rscasny can tell directly..

    Also do you have an idea when the sponsor will send these licences to you? Could you please tell?

     colporteur  If you invest in this equipment, you will need to purchase a license for EcoStruxure Machine Expert  (about $800 for a single license) AND for EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert.(about $700).  The Operator Terminal Expert has a 3-month license for around $350.

    Thank you. Can  you tell me if the licence is subscription based, annual or lifetime?

    Are the two licences system based (i.e can be used for multiple installations) or equipment install base?

    colporteur Based on my reading - and I was curious about the subscription thing as well - it seems to be lifetime.  I have no idea on the second question.  I didn't even try it with the trial version.  I just turned the chair around and used a second laptop.  Not elegant but it did give me 3 screens to work with.

    Appreciate the response. Thanks. Licencing is where experience comes in handy. Looking at multiple installations but hoping to manage from central location.

    colporteur Check out this page.  https://www.se.com/us/en/product-range/2226-ecostruxure-machine-expert-software/

    Under Professional, they even have floating licenses.  Otherwise it's Single, Team and Site.

    For ecostructure machine expert perhaps you could refer to the following guide. I also have some screenshot for the different options.

    I think one can at least upload the code to PLC when trial period ends in 42 days.
