Without a valid license, your CODESYS project runs on the RevPi device in demo mode and ends automatically after a runtime of two hours. The demo mode can be used as often as required. For permanent operation, however, you need a fee-based CODESYS license that is suitable for your project.
Which license you need depends on your project. It is determined by parameters such as the number of inputs and outputs, desired fieldbus, desired additional products and project size. If the project parameters change, you can purchase suitable upgrade licenses.
The following questions will help you find the suitable license for your project:
- Which fieldbus is required and how many instances?
- How many I/O channels do you need?
- Does your project contain self-implemented logic and functions that increase the code size?
- Do you need high performance and stable real-time behavior?
You can find the corresponding metrics in the device dialog of the CODESYS Development System under the tab license metrics.
You can find a detailed guide to licensing on the CODESYS page Application-Based Licenses.
You can purchase the licenses in the CODESYS Store on the page for application-based licenses.
