License

• Wise SCADA development is completely free. You only need to purchase a license for the runtime.
• The license you purchase can be used indefinitely, with no time limitations.
• After purchasing a license, you can upgrade to all new versions released within one year at no additional cost. After the first year, a version upgrade fee applies if you wish to update to newer releases.
• There are two types of license keys: Softkey and Hardkey. You must choose one of these options.
• For detailed instructions on activation and license management, please refer to the Licensing Procedures page.

Softkey

You are provided with a serial number, which is activated within Wise SCADA.

• If you want to transfer the license to another computer, you must first deactivate it on the current machine.
• If the computer is formatted, the license can be reactivated again on the same machine.
• However, if the computer on which the license is active becomes damaged or inaccessible, the license can no longer be used.
• If your license key is obtained and activated by a third party, you will no longer be able to use your existing license.
• In such cases, you will need to purchase a new license.

For these reasons, the user is fully responsible for the security of the Softkey license key.

Hardkey

The license is delivered to you as a USB hardware key (dongle).

• The license becomes active on whichever computer the dongle is plugged into.
• The dongle must remain connected during operation.
• If the dongle becomes defective, it will be replaced free of charge within two years.
• After two years, a replacement fee will be charged.
• If the dongle is lost or cannot be returned, a new license must be purchased.

• Internal tags are free of charge.

All tags read from or written to a PLC are considered power tags.

• For STRING-type tags, every four bytes count as one tag.

All other data types count as a single tag, regardless of their byte length.

License Models

Options are not sold individually. Wise SCADA is licensed in three different models: Lite, Professional, and Enterprise. You can review the features of each model in the table below.
