Schneider Electric Licenses require license activation, a process whereby the authenticity of the license is verified against Wonderware license records via the Schneider Electric License Activation Server (SELAS) and the license is bound to the license server from which the activation was initiated.

ACTION

1. When purchasing a license for a Wonderware product that uses Schneider Electric licensing, the deliverable that you will receive for your order will be an E-mail with multiple attachments – two PDF documents and a .zip archive. Select a machine to act as a License Server, then save and extract the .zip archive attachment to a location easily accessible from that server. The file extracted will be an XML file.

2. When installing a product that uses the Schneider Electric licensing model, select to install the Schneider Electric Licensing components as well. In the below image, installation of the Schneider Electric Licensing components is an option accompanying install of the Alarm Adviser services. For simplicity, the demonstration given in this tech note assumes both the License Server and the License Manager are installed on the same machine. If desired, those components can be split across multiple machines. More information and installation instructions can be found here.

3. If you have installed the Schneider Electric License Server on the same computer as a WW software product that uses Schneider Electric licensing, a dialog will display prompting you to configure your software. If you did not install other Wonderware software and did not receive this prompt, continue to step 6. Otherwise, select Configure.
   Image 3: Call to Action to Configure
4. The Configurator will open. Configure your software as instructed in the installation guide for that software. Also configure your Schneider Electric License Server by selecting the license server component in the left menu and clicking “Configure”.

5. When the Schneider Electric License Server has been properly configured, there will be a green check mark next to that component in the components list and the Configuration Messages area will indicate successful configuration.

6. Now your Schneider Electric License Server is ready for use. To activate licenses on your Schneider Electric License Server, you must open and use the Schneider Electric License Manager. The License Manager can be launched from Start > All Programs > Schneider Electric > Schneider Electric License Manager.

7. On opening the License Manager to the Servers page you should see the local License Server listed. It will have the same name as the local computer. The License Manager is set, by default, to use Online Activation, which can be verified by the cloud icon in the top right corner. If there is a green check mark in the cloud, Online Activation is enabled. If there is a red X in the cloud, the License Manager is set for Offline Activation.
