The software license has the advantage of being permanently installed on the PC, thereby ensuring that ClearSCADA will always be licensed on that machine. The downside to the software license is that it is hard coded to the PC’s machine ID. Should a hardware configuration be made to the PC (i.e. adding a new network card) that changes the PC’s machine ID, the software license may become invalid and a new license will need to be installed.A software license cannot be transferred from one PC to another. It is PC specific.To obtain a software license:1. Start the ClearSCADA Server and right click on the “ClearSCADA Server icon” in the system tray (lower right corner of screen). Select “License Details” from the menu. Note the “Machine ID” number. To avoid transcription errors, we suggest that you copy and paste this number into an email (see step 2).
