Visual SCL Licensing

In order to run Visual SCL, you need to obtain a license. Currently, there are two options:

  1. Obtain and install an Evaluation License
  2. Purchase product to obtain and install a Product License

Before obtaining either license, install and run the Visual SCL program. Running the program for the first time automatically brings up the Visual SCL Activation Form as shown below. This form allows you to select whether to install an Evaluation License or a Product License. Both of these procedures are discussed in detail in the following sections.

 Evaluation License

With an Evaluation License, Visual SCL runs without restrictions for fifteen days. To obtain an Evaluation License, which requires an active Internet connection on the target system, follow these steps:

  1. Install and run Visual SCL which brings up the Visual SCL Activation Form shown above.
  2. Select the Obtain Evaluation License button at the bottom left on this form.
  3. This contacts ASE over the active Internet connection and an on-line Registration Form is displayed. Follow the directions and enter the information on the Registration Form. Select OK.
  4. A pop up with the message "License was obtained and installed successfully" is displayed. Select OK.
  5. Visual SCL continues and starts up with the Evaluation License.

With an installed Evaluation License, each launch of Visual SCL displays the Activation Form with a reminder message as shown below. At this point, you can either:

  1. Select the Continue Evaluation button which starts up the Visual SCL program using the Evaluation License.
  2. Purchase the product and obtain a Product License, as discussed in the following section.

 Product License Purchase

The Product License for Visual SCL can be purchased in two ways:

  1. On-line at the ASE website at www.ase-systems.com
  2. Call Customer Sales at 408-364-0500 during business hours

As part of the purchase process, you will receive an email from ASE within one business day containing an Activation Key which can be used for the on-line activation of the Product License on the target system as discussed in the following section.

Product License Activation

Once you have purchased Visual SCL from ASE, you can activate the Product License in two ways:

  1. On-line on the target system using the Activation Key
  2. Manually by generating a License Request file on the target system and emailing the License Request file to ASE

The on-line activation requires an active Internet connection on the target system where Visual SCL is installed. Use the following procedure to activate the Product License using the Activation Key:

  1. Run the Visual SCL program on the target system to bring up the Activation Form.
  2. Enter the Activation Key in the Enter Activation Key field on the form.
  3. Select the Online Activation button which is now enabled.
  4. Follow the directions on the subsequent dialogs, which automatically obtains and installs the Product License.
  5. Select OK on the pop up with the message "License installed successfully".
  6. Visual SCL continues and starts up with the Product License.

If the target system does not have an active Internet connection, then the Product License can be activated manually using the License Request procedure as follows:

  1. Run the Visual SCL program on the target system, which brings up the Activation Form.
  2. On this form, select the Create License Request button to bring up the Create License Request dialog.
  3. On the Create License Request dialog, select the Save to File button to generate a file containing the License Request.
  4. Email the generated License Request file as an attachment to ASE at IEC61850@ase-systems.com.
  5. After ASE receives the License Request, then a License File is returned to you via email within one business day.
  6. Copy the License File to the target system.
  7. On the target system, run the Visual SCL program to bring up the Activation Form.
  8. Select the Install License File button on the form.
  9. Follow the directions on the subsequent dialogs to install the Product License.
  10. Select OK on the pop up with the message "License installed successfully".
  11. Visual SCL continues and starts up with the Product License.
