License
License the VisionView Application
To deploy the VisionView application on the panel, you must purchase and install a license. To install a license, launch
the VisionView application, click the green key button in the Cognex VisionView Setup screen, enter the Activation ID
provided by Cognex in the Enter the Activation ID screen, and click OK .
Emergency License
An emergency license allows you to operate the VisionView application for a fixed period of time without verification from
Cognex. There are 5 emergency licenses available for each VisionView CE-based HMI panel, valid for 3 days for each
activation. Emergency licenses are intended to allow you to keep critical PCs, processes and production lines running in
cases where a standard license becomes invalid and it is not possible to perform online licensing immediately to solve
the problem. Using an emergency license allows you to keep running until you solve the problem. Refer to the
VisionView Help file for more information.
