Licenses - Features - pararemote - Configuration License for Maintenance Purposes

Remote License for the PARA module (see also the description of the module PARA above). A UI with PARA (configuration) rights for remote maintenance (based on workstation).

This entry must be used in the local container on a remote maintenance computer so that a remote UI can connect to a plant without the Event Manager having to assign a UI or PARA license to this UI. A UI with configuration rights can connect to plants without a configuration license.

A remote UI with configuration rights can be started, for example, for maintenance purposes in plants without needing a UI or PARA license from the EVENT Manager with which the UI is registered. In this way, you can connect to each plant (also to plants with no configuration license) with the maintenance computer through one UI and change configurations or correct errors.

The pararemote license is located locally on the maintenance computer. For this purpose the key word "pararemote" exists. The UI for the remote maintenance purposes must be started with the command line option "-localLicense" so that it can receive a configuration license and is accepted by the EVENT Manager. If this option is missing, the UI ignores the local license and registers itself normally with the EVENT manager (also when a license does not exist locally, the UI registers itself at the EVENT Manager and receives a license from it).

VORSICHT: If you have a server and several clients that have a "pararemote" license and were started using the option "-localLicense", you can start only one pararemote UI.
