2. #1 Rule: Always work with your local Schneider Sales Representative to properly price and license your Vijeo Citect SCADA licenses

3. USB License Keys Contain License CALs “Client Access Licenses”
CALs are shared across the network to any server that require it
Typical CALS:
Full License
Required to run an IO / Alarm / Report / Trend server
Includes 1 client license which can run locally on the server (Or can be used by another computer if the Computer Setup Wizard Full License box is checked)
Client
Control Client
View Only Client
Web / Internet Control Client
Web / Internet View Only Client

4. SCADA Point Count
Maximum number of runtime variable tags that can be used by your system
Memory or Disk variable do NOT count against your points

5. Citect’s “Dynamic” Point Count
Citect / Vijeo Citect 7.0 and higher use a “dynamic-point licensing” model (See Knowledgebase article Q4939 )
Citect uses the Dynamic Runtime count of all tags used
Alarms
Trends
Reports
Events
Page Tags
Super Genies
TagRead() and TagWrite() Cicode functions
DDE, OPC, ODBC, ADO or the CTAPI (Historian)
In Vijeo Citect SCADA 7.0+ the “Dynamic Runtime Tag” count is now tag based not PLC address based.
There are a few important implications of this method of “Dynamic” tag counting:
Two tags that use the same PLC address will be counted twice.
If two trend tags use the same variable tag, it will be counted once.
If five alarms use the same tag, the variable tag will only be counted once.
If a CiCode file uses a variable tag several times, the variable tag will only be counted once.
Vijeo Citect SCADA Local Variables / Disk Variables
Citect SCADA “Local variables”, “Disk IO variable tags” and “Memory Variable Tags” can be counted against the “Dynamic Runtime Tag” count if they contain a value that originated in a PLC. If you use a PLC ( say an M340) based tag and write it to a local variable, the local variable will be counted as a “Dynamic Runtime Tag” the first time it is evaluated as an expression.
Dynamic Runtime Count

6. Variable count != Point count
1200 Variable Tags defined in your project may not require a 1200 point license.
The runtime Dynamic point count in your project is often much lower than your total variable count.
WARNING: If the Runtime Dynamic Point Count is ever greater than the license’s point count, a license error will occur and Citect will shutdown. !

7. Version Licensing Changes
V2.0 - V6.10
V7.0, V7.10, V7.20
V7.3+
Static Tag Count Compile Time

Runtime Count
Sum of Dynamic Runtime Count of Each Process
Dynamic Runtime Count

8. Tag Count in Citect 7.3+
No more “Double Point” counting in multi-process mode
Tags shared by different processes in multi-process mode will now be only counted once

9. Viewing The Dynamic Count
Using the Citect Kernel’s “General” View you can see the current Dynamic count (you may need to resize the window)

10. Helpful Citect.ini Parameters
[General]WatermarkedPointCount Enables displaying of “watermark messages” when the dynamic point count reaches the limit set points
[General]PointCountHigh Percentage at which “watermark message” will be displayed
[General]PointCountHighHigh Percentage at which a 2nd “watermark message” will be displayed
[General]PointLimitMsg Determine weather Citect will stop the point limit from being exceeded or simply shutdown.

11. Citect CAL License Types
Full Licenses
Control Client Licenses
Web Control Client Licenses
View-Only Client Licenses
Web View-Only Client Licenses

Ampla

12. Full Licenses Full Licenses
A Full license is a scalable HMI/SCADA system that can be used across all industries. It provides users and Integrators a fullyfeatured, flexible HMI/SCADA system that includes over 100 drivers.

13. How Citect Validates a License
CAL exists
SCADA Points
VALID LICENSE

14. Example License Key SCADA Point Count 42,000
CALs for 1x Full Licenses, 1x Control Client, 1x View Only Client …

15. 1 Full + Dongle key Per Server
Each Physically Separated Server will Require 1 Full License
4 Servers = 4 Dongle Keys with 4 full licenses
42,000 SCADA POINT COUNT =
4 Full
Licenses
1 Display Client
41,392 IO POINTS

16. Required License Key
Here is the required license key for 41,392 points, 4 Servers and 1 Control Client We will need 4 licenses with this configuration
X 4

17. License With 6 Client CALs
Client Licenses
Clients typically retrieve their licenses from the IO Server’s license key
42,000 SCADA POINT COUNT
1 Full
License With 6 Client CALs
38,832 IO POINTS

18. Required License Key
Here is the required license key for 38,832 points, 1 Server and 6 Control Client We only have 1 server so we only need 1 key with 6 client CALs

19. Software Keys
In Citect / Vijeo Citect 7.30 we now have the option of using Software keys
Please contact your local Schneider Sales Representative for more details.

27. Single Key Version Upgrade Only
Allows the customer to do a one-time upgrade to the latest version and does not include access to the website or Technical Support Engineers.
The upgrade only can be purchased on an individual key but must purchase upgrade for all licenses on the key.

28. Support Reinstatement
If a site has expired more than 3 months then a reinstatement fee applies. This is because upgrades are included in the Gold or GoldPlus Support Offerings.
In addition, the first year of Gold or GoldPlus Support must be purchased and then the new support dates will be valid a year from purchase date.
