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.

Licensing can be done via environment variables. You can find more information on this on the page licensing-via-environment-variables.md.

Proceed as follows for licensing in the OPC Router.

Now you can perform Offline Licensing or Online Licensing. You will find the respective steps in the corresponding paragraph.

Offline licensing​

  1. Click the “Offline Licensing” button.
  2. Enter your data in the “Enter system data” window and confirm by clicking “Next”. If the system has already been licensed, this window will not appear.
  3. A request file will now be automatically created and downloaded. This file is needed on a device with internet access to activate the license. To create the file on a device with internet access, you can save the file to an internal network drive or USB stick, for example.
  4. Use a device with internet access to open the OPC Router License Portal.
  5. Log in to the OPC Router license portal. If you do not yet have a user account, you can create a new user account or log in with your existing Microsoft or LinkedIn account.
  6. After successful login, you will see an overview of your licenses. If the desired license is not listed, you can add the license using the “Add license key” button.
  7. Click on the key symbol in the “Activate” column of the license you want to use.
  8. Follow the instructions in the pop-up and upload the request file. You can start at step 2, because you have already created the request file.
  9. Confirm the dialog with “Activate”. If there is overprovisioning, a reason must be given.
  10. An activation file is now automatically created and downloaded. Copy this file to the server on which the OPC Router is installed.
  11. Click on the “Import license file” button in the “Licenses” menu.
  12. Now select the activation file in the file manager and confirm to complete the activation.

Online licensing​

  1. Click on the “Online Licensing” button.
  2. A popup will now appear with a link and a code. Click the link to continue the process in a new tab.
  3. Please now compare the code from the OPC Router with the code displayed in the newly opened tab. If the codes match, click on “Confirm”. If the codes do not match, please click on “Cancel” and try again.
  4. Click on “Continue with License Portal”.
  5. Log in to the OPC Router license portal. If you do not yet have a user account, you can create a new user account or sign in with your existing Microsoft or LinkedIn account.
  6. After successful registration, a message will appear telling you that you are finished. You can now close the tab and continue the process in the OPC Router.
  7. Enter your data in the “Enter system data” window and confirm by clicking “Next”. If the system has already been licensed, this window will not appear.
  8. Another window will now open in which you can select a license. You can also enter a license key here, if you have one, to add a new license.
  9. Click Next to confirm your selection.

The licenses are applied immediately and the OPC Router service does not need to be restarted. The validity period 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 page.

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