Overview of IzoT Commissioning Tool Licensing
The IzoT Commissioning Tool software product includes up to two licenses for both OpenLNS Server
and IzoT Commissioning Tool. You can install the IzoT Commissioning Tool licenses on up to two
computers—a primary and a secondary computer—provided that the following requirements are met:
only the IzoT Commissioning Tool user on the primary computer can use the copy of IzoT
Commissioning Tool on the secondary computer and the IzoT Commissioning Tool software cannot be
used on the primary and secondary computers at the same time.
Maintaining IzoT Commissioning Tool
The IzoT Commissioning Tool Standard and Professional Editions include one-year maintenance for
both OpenLNS and IzoT Commissioning Tool during which you can download and install software
updates and upgrades for both IzoT Commissioning Tool and OpenLNS Server for free (Visio
upgrades are not included). Your IzoT Commissioning Tool software will continue to operate
normally if you let your maintenance coverage lapse, but you will not be able to install any updates or
upgrades. When you update or upgrade the IzoT Commissioning Tool software (and your IzoT
Commissioning Tool computer has an Internet connection), the Echelon License Manager will
automatically verify whether your maintenance coverage is active for the release you are installing.
• If your maintenance contract is valid for the release you are installing, it will allow you to continue
installing your IzoT Commissioning Tool update or upgrade.
• If your maintenance contract has expired, the installer will prompt you as to whether you want to
continue installing the IzoT Commissioning Tool update or upgrade. If you continue installing the
update or upgrade, the IzoT Commissioning Tool software will not run until you renew your
maintenance. See Renewing IzoT Commissioning Tool Annual Maintenance later in this chapter
for more information on how to do this.
If your IzoT Commissioning Tool computer did not have an Internet connection when you installed the
software updates or upgrades and you have valid maintenance coverage for OpenLNS Server and IzoT
Commissioning Tool, you can activate your licenses for the updated or upgraded OpenLNS and IzoT
Commissioning Tool software with the Echelon License Wizard following these steps:
1. Open the Echelon License Wizard. Click Start, click Programs, point to Echelon License
Wizard, and then click License Wizard. The Echelon License Wizard opens.
