Licenses for ctrlX Core virtual / EtherCAT Master

[drschiffler]

Hi all,

the ctrlx core virtual (RM21.11) comes with a preinstalled time-based trial license "SWL_XCR_ENGINEERING_4H". That's fine.

Also, the EtherCAT Master App is now available for the virtual core.

So setup and developing a virtual twin for virtual commissioning comes closer to reality. But not sure if this is intended. Adding a RT datalayer node in the PLC Dev. The environment is possible also w/o having it physically connected?

The only issue is that it seems that the mentioned license above does not include the EtherCAT Master App.

Are there some hints or statements?

BTW: The link is shown as "down" because the virtual core does only show up one NIC as output of "ip addr show"

Hello,

currently there's only the 4h license available for ctrlX COREvirtual. Also the EtherCAT App is not designed for running on the ctrlX COREvirtual. We are currently working on the corresponding license mechanisms for windows based target systems. So the licensing mechanisms as implemented on ctrlX CORE is planned to be available with RM22.03 as prototype and to be released with RM22.07.

kind regards
