Device Administrator is used to manage licenses on SmartX servers.

Licenses on SmartX Servers

Licenses are needed with some of the features of a SmartX server.

WebStation

Every SmartX server contains one default license that allows you to connect to the SmartX server with one instance of WebStation.

If you want more instances of WebStation to connect to that SmartX server, more licenses are required. Licenses are required for the total number of WebStation clients simultaneously connected to a SmartX server. For a SmartX server to communicate with three WebStation clients at the same time, 3 licenses are needed.

SmartDrivers

To be able to use SmartDrivers on a SmartX server, one or more, license is needed for every SmartDriver that runs on the SmartX server.

SNMP Notifications

To be able to use SNMP Notification on a SmartX server, a license is required.

One license for SNMP Notifications allows you to use any number of SNMP Notifications on that SmartX server.

Personal Dashboards

To be able to create personal dashboards on a SmartX server, you need a license. Personal dashboards are used in WebStation.

One license allows the connected users of that SmartX server to create any number of Personal Dashboards.

Entitlements, Products, and Licenses

Licenses are bought as products and delivered in Entitlements. An Entitlement is a container that can contain several products. The products contain the licenses and they can differ in quantity and contents.

For more information, see Entitlements, Products, and Licenses .

Assign and Activate Licenses

When you have added the Entitlement to Device Administrator you must assign and activate the licenses.

For more information, see Assign and Activate Licenses .

Certificates

It is recommended to use HTTPS for the communication between Device Administrator and SmartX servers when you manage licenses.

For more information, see Certificates in Device Administrator .
