Overview of Licensing Architecture

This document provides high level guidance on the factors to consider when designing your licensing architecture for GE Vernova Manufacturing software applications. GE Vernova offers flexible licensing options to meet the diverse needs of users. Choosing and designing a licensing system that anticipates both current and future needs will support long-term growth and reduce the total cost of ownership.

Note:

Every license is tied to the Customer Support Number (CSN) under which it was ordered.

When a license is activated on a system or a hardware key for the first time, the device-ID of that system/hardware key is permanently associated with that CSN. A license for another CSN cannot be activated on that device, even if the original license is returned.

Note:

If your computer was originally configured using a key belonging to an Integrator or a Partner; or if a customer places orders under multiple CSNs, contact GE Vernova Support for assistance.

To manage your GE Vernova Proficy Licenses, the License Client software is required in your computer (physical or virtual). This typically requires GE Vernova Common Licensing software to be installed on your computer, to activate GE Vernova product licenses with the available options as described in the topic Activate and Maintain your GE Vernova Manufacturing Licenses.
