(open in window)[00:00] In this lesson, we're going to learn about licensing in Ignition. Licensing is unique and easy to use because Ignition is licensed by the server, not the client. The modules included in a license are installed on the ignition gateway, which allows an unlimited number of clients to connect and access the features provided by them. To see the licensing page, we can click on the platform tab and expand system and click licensing. Here we will see the licenses that we currently have applied to our gateway. The applied licenses section shows us the license key and expanding any one of these, like LRN-IGN shows all the modules that make up the license, whether those be core, additional, or third party modules. In my case, LRN-IGN has all modules included, except for the SFC module. We can collapse this and look at my other license here, and we can see that the SFC module is included in this one.
[01:06] For a comprehensive list of everything in our applied licenses, we can expand ignition under our effective license section, which includes everything from that LRN-IGN license, along with the SFC module that we had in our other one. I'll collapse this section and talk a little bit more about our applied licenses. This more options menu next to each license allows us to reactivate a license after new modules have been added or existing ones have been updated. You can also unactivate a license, making it available to be added on another server.
