This video explains how to activate and deactivate a Wonderware license in online mode in AVEVA Enterprise License Manager. Learn More: https://www.se.com/a. You may also be asked the “License Serial Number” for the purchased license. Paste the “Hardware Identifier” into the web form and click submit. If a valid “Hardware Identifier” has been entered, then a license “Activation Code” is returned.

A very powerful and useful feature added in later versions of Archestra is the layering wizard. The layering wizard feature allows you to make versatile graphic symbols fitting multiple scenarios.

Some ways I have seen wizards used is to represent several types of motors in a single symbol, or analog displays with options to change display format when the symbol is dropped on a screen or into another symbol.

The layers can be combined to create some very complex configurations although I would caution you to keep it as simple as possible. I have also witnessed first hand the pain of trying to modify or make updates to these rather complex creations only to find myself playing the “mole game” making a change in one thing only to discover it broke something in the layering that was seemingly unrelated. Keep it simple.

For this tutorial I have chosen a simple dual orientation valve graphic, it’s a commonly used symbol and perfect for wizard layering. In the older versions of Archestra if you wanted a valve symbol to indicate both in a vertical and a horizontal position you had two choices, either place visibility on the elements activated by some external, or build two separate symbols.

Layering solves this problem by giving your symbol intelligent configuration available at design time.

Step 1 to create a simple dual orientation valve symbol is to create your symbol with the necessary elements and properties. In this example I chose to make a valve that would display green if on or dark gray if off.

A public Boolean custom property is added to the valve symbol and default object reference provided that will coincide later with an object attribute. Note: Using a custom property allows you to choose an attribute other than “me.valve” later when the graphic is dropped into a screen or symbol.

Each valve is represented by two groups of triangle polygons grouped by orientation, vertical or horizontal, then centered on each other.

Each polygon is animated in exactly the same way using the “Value” custom property to manipulate the Fill Style between either green or dark gray.

Step 2 after completing the element animation configuration, is to establish and configure wizard layers.

In the Options pane of the Valve graphic editor select the new folders icon and create an option folder named “orientation”. This will become a configurable property available in the symbol property window at design time.

Now, select the Orientation folder you just created clicking the Add Choice icon making two choices one named “Horizontal” the other named “Vertical” this will appear in the Orientation property as drop down items at design time.

Now when switching to the Layers menu you will find that a layer has been created for each of the choices associated with your Orientation choice group.

Each layer has a folder for associated Custom Properties, Graphic Elements, and Named Scripts.

In this example we will need to associate our two symbol groups with appropriate layer folder, since we are not using any scripts that folder is left empty and since our custom property is global to both layers it will associate with both by default. (Note: Once a script, element, or property has been associated with a layer it will only be available to the layer its associated with.)

To associate the two valve element groups all we need to do is drag and drop the group from the Elements pane to the Layers pane.

Now that the two groups are associated properly the valve symbol is complete.

One other thing I wanted to mention is that the small “eyeball” icon is used to make the layer visible or not while you are working in the symbol. If I want to know how the graphic will appear for each choice I only need to click the eyeball next to the group and toggle its visibility state. The eyeball on the Layer bar toggles visibility for all layers .This feature is only used at design time with no effect on the symbol at runtime.

When in use the valve graphic orientation is selected from the choice group drop down.

lservnt starts the License Manager and sets various License Manager options.

On a supported Windows system, use the following steps:

1.In the Services window, locate Sentinel RMS Development Kit License Manager and double-click it.

2.Stop the License Manager (service, if running already).

3.Set the parameter(s) in Start Parameters. For example, -s mylicensefile -l myusage.log -f mytrace.log -tr 7 will have the following result:

While starting a service manually, you can also include additional startup parameters.

To do so:

>Select the relevant service from the list of services.

>Right-click and select the Properties sub-option from the pop-up menu that appears.

>Type the parameters in Start parameters.

>Click Start.

However, these settings are not persistent; Windows uses them once, and then restores the default settings on next automatic service startup.

>mylicensefile will be searched by the application for the license code. Any new licenses added to the RMS License Manager will be added to this license file.

>myusage.log will be created containing all the License Manager usage information (such as, the license server start, shutdown, license request, and license release).

>mytrace.log will be created containing the License Manager trace logs. Level 7 enables the functions, keys, and errors trace logs.

NOTEThe Windows Service Controller ignores the double quotes (“ ”). So, do not use double quotes while setting options, else these will be ignored. For example, if you specify -f aa'aa, then it will be interpreted as -f aaaa.

4.Start the License Manager after providing the settings.

See the screen-shot below for an example.

Setting lservnt Options Using the Command Prompt

The following options are provided for lservnt:

Wonderware Activation Server

Option	Description
-H or -h	Display list of lservnt options. Displays the help for lservnt.
-X remove	Remove the License Manager service.
-X install	Install the License Manager service.
-X start	Start the License Manager service.
-X stop	Stop the License Manager service.
-X status	Get License Manager status.
-X commline	Starts the License Manager service and sets the options defined in License Manager - LSERVOPTS Environment Variable. The Sentinel RMS License Manager Windows service (lservnt.exe) does not read startup options if specified as: <OSDrive>:Program FilesCommon FilesArchestrA>lservnt.exe -l c:SafeNet.log. Instead, specify the option preceding -X commline. For example, the following command will start the License Manager plus set the usage log in C drive by the name SafeNet.log: <OSDrive>:Program FilesCommon FilesArchestrA>lservnt.exe -X commline -l c:SafeNet.log
