Licensing Overview
The EcoStruxure Building Operation software is available for all to download and install. However, you need valid licenses to use the software. The number of users of the software is limited to the number of licenses owned by the customer.
Licensing Model
EcoStruxure BMS uses a license model that allows scalable pricing. An EcoStruxure BMS can be tailored with the features and size that is required by that solution. When setting up a new EcoStruxure BMS, consider the size, the extra features required, and the number of licenses to accommodate the size and features. The license policy lets you make an initial investment that corresponds to the required capacity and functionality at the beginning of the project and then allows for further investment in the future to expand the capacity or functionality.

License System
