About Licensing

Ignition is a modular platform, therefore it is licensed based on modules. Licensed and unlicensed modules can operate side-by-side, so some modules can be tested in trial mode while others are running in a licensed state.

To see detailed information about the modules licensing status along with the version number for each module

  1. Go to the Configure section of the Gateway webpage.

  2. Select System > Licensing.
    The Licensing and Activation page is displayed. Here you can see the CD-Key for the Ignition license plus all the modules that Ignition is licensed for. The version number for each module is also shown.

  3. Go to Configuration > Modules.
    The Module Configuration page is displayed. Here you can see all the modules that are currently running with their version numbers and license status. The licenses are either in Trial, Activated, or Free mode. On this page, you can add or remove modules from your Ignition. If you are licensed for a module you are running, it will run in Activated mode. If you are not licensed for a module you are running, it will run in Trial mode until the Trial time is expired.

  4. Compare the module version numbers from Step 2 and Step 3.
    If you find from Step 2 that your license has an older version of a module than from Step 3, the one you are running in Trial mode, you can continue to use the Trial mode as long as the Trial time is not expired.     When a module is in Trial mode, Ignition shows the Trial time remaining in the Configure section of the Gateway webpage under System > Status.
