The AVEVA Enterprise Licensing system is a common platform that allows you to effectively and efficiently manage AVEVA Software product licenses. AVEVA Enterprise licensing system is composed of a browser-based License Manager and a License Server that together allow you to share and deliver licenses for your installed products.

License Manager:

License Manager allows you to quickly access and maintain licenses for all AVEVA Software products in your different environments by means of its scalable, flexible design features:

• Browser-based for scalability and ease of use; can be remotely accessed by any web browser.
• Light-weight standalone software you can install on the same node as the License Server computer, or on any other node based on your deployment needs.
• Manage one or multiple License Servers to best organize and manage the licenses in your unique environment.

License Server:

License Server provides all the functionality to acquire, store, maintain, and serve licenses to your installed AVEVA software.

• Where all licenses and related information is stored and maintained.
• Securely serve any types of software application being licensed, including Windows browsers, tablets, and mobile devices.
• Provide current license usage information.

Installed Products:

After the AVEVA Software product is installed it relies on the licensing system to enable its functionality. During product installation you decide from which License Server you want the product to get its license. If a License Server is installed on the same computer, it will use that one as the default. You can decide to install the License Server on a different computer to point to a single License Server for all installed products, or different License Servers installed for different groups of installed products. All the products installed on the same computer would point to the same License Server.
