Description

Everything you need to know about how to licenses for InTouch TSE.

Wonderware has created a Deployment Guide specifically to help users understand and properly architect a project using Remote Desktop Services (formerly Terminal Services) and InTouch for Terminal Services. The deployment guide can be found HERE.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Overview of Wonderware License Management

Licenses for Wonderware products are maintained in license files or on a license server. The license file contains one or more license components, which are lines of information that specify licensing for an individual product.

Each license component is assigned a unique part number and contains information such as the:

• Product name
• Serial number
• Type and duration of license
• Number of seats and other information

License Types

There are two kinds of licenses, unserved and served. For this document, only unserved licenses are included, since InTouch does not use served (server-based) licensing.

Unserved licenses, also known as local licenses, are installed on the same computer as the applications using them. Unserved licenses do not run on a license server. Unserved license files usually have the file names wwsuite.lic or ArchestrA.lic.

Information about the license Type appears with the license name and license components when you view it in the ArchestrA License Manager.

Products can have a demonstration period, which allows you to run the specified application for a defined period when the license is not available. Licenses can also define a grace period, which is entered when a license is unavailable. The grace period is a limited time period tracked by the application. The application determines what happens during the grace period.

How Wonderware Software Uses Licenses

When a Wonderware application starts, it looks for an unserved license on the same computer in the background. If no license is found locally, the application searches all license servers specified in ArchestrA License Manager for the computer.

When a license file is found, the application checks that this version is licensed for use. If more than one license is found, the order in which licenses are acquired by applications is:

• Unserved licenses
• Named device licenses
• Named user licenses
• Concurrent licenses

If the application is not supported by the license or if the required license is not found, the software component defaults to either a demonstration mode or an absent license mode.

Wonderware CAL (Client Access License)

A CAL is not a software product. It is a license that gives a user the permission to access the services of a database server. It is a paper license!

CALs are used to connect with a database Server like

• WW Historian Server (WWCAL)
• Information Server (WWCAL)
• MS SQL Server (MSCAL)

A client always needs a WWCAL when connecting to a WW Historian and always needs a MSCAL when connecting to a MSSQL database.

There are 4 types of WW CAL that include the MS CAL:

• WW Basic CAL for per device, per user, per seat
• WW Basic CAL per processor.
• WW Enterprise CAL for per device, per user, per seat.
• WW Enterprise CAL per processor.

When You Need A CAL

• Active Factory or InTouch to connect to Historian Server
• IS Standard and Advanced Client to connect to Information Server
• Any node (WW node or third party software) connecting to Historian Server or MS SQL Server
• InTouch, Active Factory, Wonderware Information Server Client
• InBatch Server
• InTrack Server

InTouch Runtime TSE License File

WWSUITE.LIC is a license file name that contains the InTouch feature line to enable InTouch (Dev, RT, Tag Count).

It also contains the InTouch TSE feature line, which enables InTouch Terminal Services capability, enforces number of terminal server sessions as well as Bitstring that indicates the number of sessions licensed.

How InTouch for Terminal Services Licenses Work

Every session/instance of InTouch must be licensed, whether that instance is running on a remote computer or on the Terminal Server as a session. An instance of InTouch can be a terminal services session on a remote computer or InTouch running on the Terminal Server.

InTouch 10.1 and above do not include a separate DVD for InTouch for Terminal Services . For InTouch for Terminal Services, make sure the server was configured as a terminal server.

Caution: If you exceed the number of allowed sessions you will see the following error message:

The number of allowed TSE count already exceeded.

InTouch for Terminal Services v10.1 License Example

In the following graphic

• InTouch Runtime TSE 3 Client Description
• Microsoft Terminal Services
• 1 Terminal Server
• 3 HMI TS display devices without IO capability (use IO on Terminal Server)
• All HMI sessions are running the same Application so the same Tag count
• No HMI view on Terminal Server
• Terminal Server acts as a Device Integration IO Server

Remote Desktop Licensing

Remote Desktop Licensing (RD Licensing), formally Terminal Services Licensing (TS Licensing) manages the Remote Desktop Services client access licenses (RDS CALs) that are required for each device or user to connect to a terminal server.

You use TS Licensing to install, issue, and track the availability of RDS CALs on a Remote Desktop Services license server.

When a client (either a user or a device) connects to a RD Session Host server, the RD Session Host server determines if a RDS CAL is needed. The RD Session Host server then requests a RDS CAL from the Remote Desktop Services license server on behalf of the client attempting to connect to the RD Session Host server. If an appropriate RDS CAL is available from a license server, the RDS CAL is issued to the client, and the client will be able to connect to the RD Session Host server.

Note: Remote Desktop Services Licensing is additional to other licenses that might be needed, such as FactorySuite licenses, operating system licenses, and any BackOffice family Client Access Licenses.

If you purchase ThinManager™ from ACP, it only includes the necessary licenses to run ThinManager. The licenses mentioned above are still required.

Installing Your Licenses

To install InTouch for Terminal Services license you can use License utility or License Manager Server software. The License Manager Server software manages Server-based licenses and is installed with several Wonderware products, or as a separate install. It is found on the Active Factory CD and the Wonderware Information Server CD or you can find it on the System Platform 2012 DVD on this path: CD:WISLicenseServer.

Note: The WWSuite.lic is not required on InTouch version 10.5 or higher. Only the ArchestrA.lic is used.

License Installation
