Citect SCADA supports two different software licensing models:
I’ll prepare a concise, structured handbook about that topic—but I need to resolve the subject first. I’ll assume you want a short, engaging handbook about Kyokou Suiri (Kyokou Suiri / In/Spectre), focusing on Chapter 82 of the raw (original Japanese) release and the themes/ideas you mentioned (it looks like phrases like "xu gou tui li" and "invented inference" may be transliterations or concepts—I'll interpret them as: character/plot analysis, invented/inferential reasoning in the story, and how Kyokou Suiri uses deduction/inference).
The FLEXERA softkey solution stores license information on a FlexNet Enterprise License Server. The Citect SCADA client process will retrieve licenses from this server as required by the Citect SCADA system. To activate and administer licenses, you use the Floating License Manager (see Activate Licenses Using the Floating License Manager).
In both cases, Citect SCADA uses a Dynamic Point Count to determine if your system is operating within the limitations of your license agreement. This process tallies the number of I/O device addresses being used by the runtime system.
A point limit is allocated to each type of license included in your license agreement. These license types include:
A special OPC Server License is also available if you want to run a computer as a dedicated OPC server. For more information, contact Technical Support.
If required, you can specify how many points will be required by a particular computer (see Specify the Required Point Count for a Computer).
Note:
• There is no distinction between a Control Client and an Internet Control Client.
• There is no distinction between a View-Only Client and an Internet View-Only Client.
