8 The License Manager
The 3S License Manager is available to handle the licenses for 3S modules, as well as licenses for
modules for which an appropriate license information file is provided, on your computer. In CoDeSys
you can create a project and provide it as a licensed library. The Licensing Manager will be installed
automatically with any 3S module, which requires a license.
See also the separate documentation provided with the 3S Licensing Manager.
8.1.1 Creating a licensed library in CoDeSys
As is known a CoDeSys project can be saved as a library. If you want to create a licensed library you
have to add the appropriate license information. For this perform the command 'File'Save as...',
choose data type 'Internal Library' or 'External Library' and press button Edit license info....
In the dialog Edit Licensing Information enter the information described below. The license
information will be added to the Project Info. When later on the library will be included in a CoDeSys
project, the license information can be checked up in the object properties dialog of the library in the
library manager.
Dialog: Edit Licensing Information
Common:
Name: Enter a name for the library module which is used to represent it in the 3S Licensing
Manager. This input is mandatory.
Demo mode: Activate this option if the module should be usable in demo mode, that means
without any license ID. Enter the number of days after which the "demo license" should expire.
The number of days will be automatically rounded up to the next number which is divisible by
ten (10, 20, 30 ...). If no number is entered here, the module will be usable without time
limitation !
