2.3 License Management
Each communication unit has a separate license on the memory card, containing:
•
a license for the basic functions
•
the maximum number of process data points
•
a license for 'local archives' and 'PLC' (option)
•
a license for the 'integrated HMI' (option)
It is possible to upgrade the RTU license with an license extension file (ABBRTU500Ext.lic), generated
by ABB, by uploading the file via the Web server.
The function is available with the license file manager
