CODESYS License; Control Standard; M; Single License; Online activation

This application-based license is specifically designed for use with CODESYS Virtual Control for Linux SL. It includes 1024 I/O channels and supports an application size of up to 5 MB. Suitable hardware platforms include WAGO Edge Computers (Order No.: 752-9400; 752-9401; 752-9800; 752-9412; 752-9813).

These licenses are hardware-independent and can be used across multiple products, offering maximum flexibility when selecting devices. Another advantage is the scaling of licenses based on application metrics, meaning you only pay for the CODESYS features you actually use.

Licensing

Single Device License: The license can be used on the controller where the CODESYS runtime system is installed.

The license is activated in a software-based container (soft container) that is permanently bound to the controller.

Note: Without a license, the software will run in demo mode for two hours. After that, a manual restart is required.

Please note that the use of these application-based licenses requires CODESYS Development System V3.5.19.7 or higher and CODESYS Virtual Control SL Runtime Software Version 4.12.0.0 or higher.

Source: The required software can be obtained from the WAGO Download Center:

Runtime: https://downloadcenter.wago.com/software/latest/runtime-codesys-virtual-control-linux

Demo Mode

A controller without a license runs in demo mode for two hours. After this period, the runtime system will shut down and must be restarted manually. The functionality of demo mode is not restricted, but unlicensed functions have a shorter demo runtime (e.g., fieldbuses operate for 30 minutes).

License Check

When an application-based license is available on the controller, all criteria are checked against the limit stored in the license. If any criteria exceed the defined limit, the application download or boot application loading will be blocked. No transition to demo mode occurs.

This prevents the system from reverting to a time-limited demo mode during production.
