6.1. Introduction

6.1. Introduction
	Chapter 6. Licencing

The introduction of licencing has been done by taking into consideration the products already purchased by our customer so that they can upgrade their products with the latest release without loosing any functionality present up to release 6.5.x.

	Note
	This is only partially valid for Mini-Abilis equipped with FPanel watchdog that does not provide the ABILIS-ID, where some functionalities will not be available after the upgrade to 7.0.

6.1.1. ABILIS ID and the class of product

Each Abilis CPX has unique identifier which is visible on the serial number label.

It's easy to retrieve this identifier from a remote Abilis using the commands d i or d g. The identifier is named ABILIS-ID.

      Abilis CPX - Ver. 7.0.0/STD - 24/09/2010 - Build 3357.0 - 24/09/2010
                            (c) 1994/2010 - Abilis

ABILIS-ID: 2001

ABILIS-ID: 2001                                                     <Read Only>

The ABILIS-ID parameter is used to know the class of the product, which is used to select which features are available out-of-the-box.

Other features may be added purchasing additional licences and installing them using the steps in the chapter Section 6.1.2, “Managing licences”.

The identification of the class is easy:

Table 6.1. Abilis ID and class of products

Number of digits of ABILIS ID	Class of product
5 or less than 5	0 (legacy production)
6	identified by the first, leftmost, number

Examples:

ABILIS-ID: 2001 or ABILIS-ID: 50002 are of class 0
ABILIS-ID: 300049 has class 3, ABILIS-ID: 100031 has class 1

	Note
	If there's no ABILIS-ID, it means that Abilis is not equipped with MFIDE device and so it belongs to FP class.

Below there is a table showing the Abilis CPX product classes.

Table 6.2. Class of products

Class	Product
FP	Former Mini-Abilis with FPANEL
0	Former Abilis Base-x with MFIDE2/MFIDE3

6.1.2. Managing licences

A licence is a text file whose name contains the ABILIS ID (e.g. LIC1-0000002001.TXT). It can be also a mail with the text of the licence file.

There are three way to install a license:

Upload the text file in the directory C:\LICENCE of the Abilis CPX compact flash using FTP (please refer to FTP protocol)
Upload the text file in the directory C:\LICENCE of the Abilis CPX compact flash using the command licence put for XMODEM or the command licence put z for ZMODEM (please refer to chapter put command)
Copy and paste the licence text using the command licence set

[19:49:27] ABILIS_CPX:licence SET
