License range

What is included in the License?

The License is a summary of the process parameters that define the range of a particular D2000 Application.
The parameters involve the following information:

• Number of tags

  The maximum number of tags is the sum of D2000 objects, which are configured in the particular application. The tags includes the following D2000 objects:

  • User variables
  • I/O tags
  • Eval tags (note: if it is a structured eval tag, the number of rows in the target structure is counted into the number of tags)
  • Remote tags
  • Structured variables (note: The size of the whole structure is included, i.e. the number of rows times number of columns, divided by a value of 5 (rows*cols/5),. The columns of "Object" value type, i.e. a reference to other D2000 objects, are not included and fields whose value can not be changed during application run (they do not have an active configuration item Manual control)).
    
    
  More detailed information about the number and structure of the tags can be obtained using the SHOW_CONFIG tell command.
  
  
• Number of archive tags
  
  The maximum number of archived time series. In the case of unstructured archives, it is the number of archive objects.
  In the case of a one-column archive object, it is the number of rows of the source structured variable. 
  In the case of a structured archive object, it is the number of fields of the source structured variable.
