The maximum number of individual licenses that can be
allocated to an interface type (or point source). Each license
corresponds to a single point with which the server can collect
data from the interface.
For example, for the
FTHSE license activation, the quantity
ranges from 250 to 100K points.
• For some types of license activations, instead of the
<Quantity> part there is a combination of digits and/or
characters that further describe the activation, e.g.
FTHSE.H2H, FTBAInt.1.
Each license activation contains a number of individual licenses. The
system distributes the licenses between the Rockwell and General
license pools, depending on the type of license activations you have.
When you allocate licenses to interface types (or point sources), you
take the licenses from either of the license pools.
To use the licenses:
1. Learn how FactoryTalk Historian distributes individual
licenses between the license pools. (page 80)
2. Assign the license activations to your Historian server (page
85).
3. Allocate the individual licenses to interface types (or point
sources) (page 86).
When you acquire license activations for your FactoryTalk
Historian and assign them to your Historian server, the system
automatically distributes individual licenses from the license
activations between the General and Rockwell license pools.
