Applying Proficy Licenses using Tag Pooling from Cloud Server

You can now manage your SCADA systems by activating and distributing additional tags using the tag pooling feature. This method allows efficient allocation of tags without the need for new licenses. Currently, the tag pooling is available for SCADA iFIX and CIMPLICITY product licenses.

Before you begin

Ensure Proficy Common Licensing software version 21.2 or later is installed.

Procedure

  1. Launch the License Client to begin your Proficy license activation.
  2. In the Activate License tab, for the option: Is this a pooling code?, select Yes, if your code is a pooling code.
  3. Enter the 16-digit alphanumeric activation code from your GE Vernova order email (typically described as: PROFICYSCADA-POOL Add On).
    Note:
    You need an active base Proficy license (Example: SCADA iFIX Server) for the tag pooling code to work.
  4. Enter the required number of license tags in the input box.
    Example: To allocate 10,000 tags, enter 10 (each unit represents 1000 tags).
  5. Select Add Code, then select Activate to complete the process.
    You will be redirected to the View Licenses tab.
  6. In the View Licenses tab, verify the Proficy product license(s). Select SCADA Tag Pool to view the license details.
  7. If you want to return unused SCADA Tag Pool licenses, select the Return License tab, check the box next to the pooling product name, and enter the number of tags you want to return in the Remove input box, and then click Return to return the licenses.
    Note:
    The Remove input box for the base Proficy software license is disabled, as the default count value is set to 1 (conventional method).
