Each MK8000 license supports a limited number of data points (according to what
was purchased). Specifically, the limitation applies to the total number of control
units and devices configured in Composer.
Note that the licensing mechanism has been changed in MP3.18. Previously, the
limitation was related to the number of OPC items dynamically connected.
As for the MM8000 license, the MK8000 OPC server license calculation is now based
on the static information of the Composer project. More precisely, the license parame-
ters are the:
–
physical subsystems configured
–
physical objects configured for each subsystems
–
network drivers configured and connected to subsystems
The Composer tool can provide in any moment the required license parameters
and check them against the values currently set.
As shown in Fig 43, select the 'MK8000' node and then the 'View License Data'
button on the 'Node' tab.
At this point, the required license values for the Composer configuration appear.
Clicking 'Check License Data' results in the values being compared to the PAK
codes. If the license is correct, the text 'Available' show in the 'Available license'
column.
Before checking the license, be sure that the MK8000 server is running. You can start
and verify the status of the server tasks with the System Monitor icon
tom right corner of your screen.
 For more information, see Appendix A Using the System Monitor, p. 74.
