Installing or updating licenses
At the License step, you install one or more license files in a new MultiSITE VM3 controller. You typically select the option to get and install
licenses from the licensing server.
Prerequisites
A minimum of one license file is always needed. Typically, other license files are not needed unless you are using third-party module(s). In
this case, you can also install those license files during this same commissioning step, either automatically, or by selecting to install from
files.
RUNNING THE COMMISSIONING WIZARD
At least one license file specific to any MultiSITE VM3 is stored on the licensing server. Provided that you have Internet connectivity, this is
the recommended method to install or update a license.
For license files validated against the Tridium certificate, installation can be automated from MultiSITE Supervisor. All such purchased
licenses (including MultiSITE VM3, Supervisor, or Workstation-only) are stored and available to Workbench through the licensing server.
Provided that your PC currently has Internet connectivity while running a platform connection to any Niagara host, MultiSITE Supervisor
provides an install option (get and install the licenses for the host from the license server). When selected, MultiSITE Supervisor searches
the license server for a license with a matching Host ID of the target platform. When found, it selects the license(s) and advances to the next
wizard step.
1. Select “Install licenses from the license server.”
2. MultiSITE Supervisor searches the licensing server, locates the license(s), and the wizard advances to the next step.
Note:
If the “license server” option shown above does not appear, the MultiSITE Supervisor has not detected Internet connectivity, and so cannot
contact the licensing server. In this case, you can do one of the following:
•
If you already have a license for this MultiSITE VM3 in your “local license database,” select the last option shown to install from your
“MultiSITE Supervisor license database.” MultiSITE Supervisor locates the license, and the wizard advances to the next step. Note that this
option will be missing if your local license database does not include a license for this MultiSITE VM3.
•
If you have the MultiSITE VM3 license file(s), see the section, Installing or updating licenses from files. If necessary, you can install
license(s) later, either from your local license database or from license files.
