Fixed license

[Gyfee1]

Good day.

We have pair servers (redundancy system), with two dongles and shield.
For administrate para only on the one machine, the license has two fields “parafix = 1” and “uifix = 1".
The project has been not started with this license, so we launched the script described in help, with "HW" of our servers (e.g “Fixed Licensing”).

main()
{
int i;
string sCode = "";
dyn_anytype daT, da, daa;
dyn_anytype hwCode,uifix,parafix;
=====================================
hwCode[1]="---";
uifix[1]="1";
parafix[1]="1";

hwCode[2]="---";
uifix[2]="0";
parafix[2]="0";
=====================================
for ( i = 1; i <=dynlen(hwCode); i++ )
{
sCode += "parafix_" + hwCode + " = " + parafix + "\n" +
"uifix_" + hwCode + " = " + uifix + "\n";
}
dpSet("_Event.License.HW:_original.._value", sCode);
dpSet("_Event_2.License.HW:_original.._value", sCode); //redundant system
}

After this, module "Gedi" was run. But, after 7 - 8 minutes of working, the “Gedi” module was closed, with message "Invalid license, Shutdown para because it is not licensed". Its repeat every time.

With the fixed license feature you can define at which machine a UI can be started all the time.
To define the machine you have to enter the hardware code for this machine in the panel shown in the screenshot.
The screenshot you have added does not show a valid hardware code and therefore it does not work.

Sorry for bad screenshots. They were edited.

There are two HW, get it from panel "Get hardware code".
72537---341
70415---878

We used script with these HW. In panel "Fixed licenses" we see correct number of our HW.

If you have configured a fixed license for a UI running on the machine with the HW code 72537---341 it should be possible to run a UI with para option at exactly this machine.
Did you check if a UI runs correctly at this machine?

Yes we check. UI correctly runs on machine with HW 72537---341. But after working 7-8 min, UI close with warning message "Invalid license".

In the screenshots we cannot see which WinCC OA version and patch level you are using.
Can you please add this information.

We are using, WinCC OA 3.15 P024.

When you have configured the fixed license and when you have started the UI please do a "-report dispatch,license" for the Event Manager on both servers.

I have seen that you normally get in contact with our WinCC OA Consulting team when you have questions concerning WinCC OA.
When you have used the debug flags to generate information please use the WinCC OA Consulting Tracker and submit a consulting request. In the request please describe the problem and add the logfiles (pmon.<hostname>,PVSS_II.log, WCCILevent0.log9 for both servers.
