View and sort license information

Administrator

FactoryLogix has two license types:

Metered licenses indicate how many instances of a license your company owns. For example, if you own five NPI licenses, five instances of NPI can run simultaneously.
Non-metered licenses (typically machine interfaces) are unlimited. You can use non-metered licenses without restriction.

To view license information, follow these steps.

Log onto the server or a machine where FactoryLogix Server Management is already installed. (The login account should have administrative rights to the database server if you are using Windows authentication.)
Start FactoryLogix Server Management.
Select Licensing.

Note

To view licensing information in NPI, log into NPI, then select System Configuration > Licensing.

Scroll through the licensing information to view the number of metered and non-metered licenses in your organization.
To to sort your license information, right-click any column header in the window to open the Column menu that has commands you can select. (See the table at the end of this topic for details).
