The basic licenses are scaled according to the number of signals and contain an ibaHD-Server, two HD data stores (to be used on each existing ibaPDA system in the network) and two HD clients. One time period can be used with the basic license. A separate license is required for the definition of further time periods. One license allows to define 2 time periods. 128 time periods can be defined with the ibaHD-Server Ultra Time Period Store license.

It should be noted that the number of tags that can be stored per HD store is limited to 65534 tags. Number of tags is equivalent total of the signals and/or events for all HD data stores of an ibaHD-Server. Therefore, a logged analog or digital signal is equivalent to a logged event.

The HD stores of the basic license can be used for time or length based data and events.

For a further extension, licenses are available for further HD data stores and further HD clients which allow the access from several ibaPDA clients to the historical data of an ibaHD-Server. For every workstation which has to display historical data, an HD client license and the ibaPDA client software are necessary.

For displaying merely HD data the ibaPDA client needs only to be connected with the ibaHD-Server. A connection with an ibaPDA server is not required. For access via the ibaHD-API interface, the ibaHD-Server-API-Read license is required.

The following licenses are available:

The licenses purchased are unlocked via a dongle which has to be plugged on the ibaHD-Server computer. As of ibaHD-Server v3.0.0, the licenses can also be stored in license containers from Wibu-Systems. Two types of license containers are supported:

  • CmStick: USB-dongle

  • CmActLicense: Soft license

To use WIBU licenses, the CodeMeter runtime environment must be installed. This is automatically installed during the installation of ibaHD-Server.

The HD client licenses are neutrally distributed to any ibaPDA client that tries to connect to the ibaHD-Server. If all HD client licenses are in use then the HD connection on one client should be closed before another client can obtain HD data access.
