PLC 02VRS licenses required for X7

[bschmidt]

Hello,

Our understanding is that the new PLC licensing scheme is based on I/O and tasks in the project, not the target hardware platform. But if I make a new project in ctrlX PLC Engineering 0202.2 and select x64 architecture (for ctrlX CORE X7) it is showing that all 4 PLC license are required, regardless of what's in the application. Only with ARM architecture (for CORE X3) do the required licenses reflect what is used in the project. Is this a case that ctrlX WORKS is not caught up to the new licensing for PLC 02VRS, or is it truly the case that X7 needs all 4 PLC licenses regardless of the application, as with PLC 01VRS?

Best regards,

Brian

In general the licenses for version 2.x are not longer bound to any hardware.

X64 is not only the system architecture of a ctrlX CORE X7 but also ctrlX COREvirtual and ctrlX CORE OS so the project could be created for several targets and "current required" apps should be wrong visualisation.

I can reproduce the behaviour and we already fixed the bug in in the next release version 2.04 of ctrlX WORKS (including new version of ctrlX PLC Engineering).
