Activate license in the OPC Router

You can test all standard modules extensively in demo mode. After licensing, the licensed modules are productive, the others remain in demo mode.

If you require a longer demo license, this can be issued by our sales department. E.g. for a 30-day demo license. Please contact our sales department for this.

Licensing is carried out via the OPC Router license portal. Licenses can be imported online or offline.

The licenses are applied directly and there is no need to restart the OPC Router Service. In addition, the runtime for each licensed plug-in and add-on is displayed in the overview at the bottom of the page. Further information can be found on the license-overview-in-the-opc-router.md page.

Future system extensions will be licensed for your specific customer name and OPC Router ID. License keys are credited to your account and do not need to be entered separately.
