EC-BOS-9 Install and Startup Guide Chapter 2 Commissioning
For license files validated against the Tridium certificate, installation can be automated from EC-Net 4
Pro. All such purchased licenses, including controller, Supervisor and Workstation-only, are stored
and available to EC-Net 4 Pro through the licensing server.
If your PC currently has Internet connectivity while running a platform connection to any EC-Net host,
EC-Net 4 Pro provides an install option to get and install the licenses for the host from the license
server. When selected, EC-Net 4 Pro silently searches the license server for a license with a matching
Host ID of the target platform. When found, it selects the license(s) and advances to the next wizard
step. For more details, refer to the EC-Net 4 Platform Guide.
Installing the controller licenses
Each controller requires at least one unique license that authorizes it to use EC-Net. Other license files are not
needed unless you use third-party module(s). If the PC doing the commissioning is connected to the Internet,
the Commissioning Wizard can install all licenses automatically from the licensing server. This is the recom-
mended method to install or update a license.
Prerequisites: You have at least one license file, specific to this controller, which is stored on the license server
or you received a license for this controller via email. To install from the license server, you have Internet
connectivity.
Step 1 Select the licensing option for the wizard to implement.
• Don’t change any licenses This is the default choice.
• Install one or more licenses from files
• Install licenses from the license server
• Install licenses from the workbench license database
• Install subscription license
Step 2 To install a license from the server, select Install licenses from the license server and click
Next to continue.
If the Install licenses from the license server option is not available in the wizard, EC-Net
4 Pro has not detected Internet connectivity, and so cannot contact the licensing server.
When you select the license from the server, EC-Net 4 Pro silently searches the license server for a li-
cense with a Host ID that matches the Host ID of the target platform. When found, it selects the li-
cense(s) and advances to the next wizard step. For more details, refer to the section “About the
licensing server” in the EC-Net 4 Platform Guide.
Step 3 To install a license from your local EC-Net 4 Pro database, select Install licenses from the
workbench license database.
