Module Showcase Licensing: Intended Use of Activation Grants

Module Development
1

For an Ignition redundant Master/Backup pair, what's the recommended approach?

  • One license key with 2 activation grants, or
  • 2 license keys with 1 grant each?

As another example, suppose a customer has 5 redundant Master/Backup pairs. Would the recommended approach be:

  • 1 license key with 10 grants
  • 5 license keys with 2 grants each
  • 10 license keys with 1 grant each

More generally, is an activation grant intended to represent one concurrently activated Gateway?

Separate keys. Include backup=1 as a parameter in each module's details for the backup license. So two keys with five grants each, or ten keys with one grant each, or something in between. But pairs of keys for master & backup roles.

More generally, yes.
