Manufacturing license - Add a new device.

 

Hello, I have a Kepware KepServerEX 6 running for a customer and want to add a Siemens PLC to the OPC server.
The license I have is a manufacturing Suite with Tier: DriverLimit 1. What does this mean? Cannot find any explanation about this anywhere.

And on this OPC server I have a memory based connection running.

Is it possible to add a new Siemens PLC S7-300 device to the Kepserver without needing to change the license?

 

The manufacturing Suite does have the Siemens drivers included.

Hello,

 

As per your explanation i understood that you are referring license activation count.

Every license has specific activation count for example it can be 1, 2 or any other number that means the same license can be used on required machines as many as times with respected to the activation count.

In you case license has count 1 so you can use license on one machine at a time.

 

Yes, you can add Siemens without change of license.

For more details, please look into link.

    I cannot test this ATM if this is true. But I have good hopes now that I do not need a new license.

    If I do not forget, I will reply the result when I have access to the kepserver.
