vTool 许可#

Workbench 包括一些免费的 vTools，然而大多数 vTools 都需要许可证。

本主题介绍了可用的许可证类型以及如何获取许可证。

许可证类型#

演示许可证#

演示版许可证是无需硬件保护装置的纯软件许可证。它们允许您在激活后的 80 天内使用当前 pylon 安装中的所有可授权的 vTools。演示版许可证过期后，将无法续订。此外，还存在以下限制：

  • 每个 vTool 只能连续运行五 (5) 分钟。停止执行后，可以重新启动。
  • vTools 只能在 pylon Viewer 中使用，不能在 API 中使用。
  • 您创建的配方无法导入到您的应用程序代码中。
  • 许可证与激活它的 pylon 主要版本绑定。因此，如果您安装了新的 pylon 版本，则必须申请新的演示版许可证。

申请演示许可证#

  1. 在 pylon Viewer 的 vTools 窗格中，单击 free demo license 链接。
  2. 系统将要求您输入电子邮件地址。
    您将收到一封电子邮件，其中包含用于激活许可证的链接。
  3. 单击链接。在打开的页面上，单击激活按钮。
    该许可证现在将激活，有效期为 80 天。

评估许可证#

评估版许可证是无需硬件保护装置的纯软件许可证。它们允许您在激活后的 180 天内使用所有可授权的 vTools。评估版许可证过期后，将无法续订。与演示版许可证不同的是，您可以将使用评估版许可证创建的配方导入到您的应用程序代码中，并且可以通过 API 使用这些配方。评估版许可证可以取代演示版许可证，即在激活后，即使您的演示版许可证仍然有效，您也将立即从扩大的功能范围中受益。适用的限制如下：

  • 每个 vTool 只能连续运行五 (5) 分钟。停止执行后，可以重新启动。

申请评估许可证#

  1. 向 Basler 销售部门发送销售询价，要求获得 vTool 评估许可证。
    Basler 销售人员将与您联系，了解更多信息。

Runtime 许可证#

Runtime licenses give you unlimited use of the vTools you've purchased. You can buy runtime licenses for individual vTools or for vTool bundles.

If required, you can also buy a USB dongle to load your licenses onto. This allows you to take your licenses with you to use them on different computers. You can load several licenses onto one dongle. Alternatively, you can opt for a software license. In this case, the licenses are bound to your computer.

The following table lists the respective advantages of each option.

USB Dongle Licenses Software Licenses
Dongles with activated licenses can easily be transferred to other computers No USB port needed
Licenses remain valid even if hardware configurations change No extra dongle cost
Fast activation because no hardware needs to be shipped

购买 Runtime 许可证#

  1. 访问 Basler vTools 产品页面。
    在那里，您将找到所有可用 vTools 和 vTool 捆绑包的概述。
  2. 决定您要购买的 vTools 或捆绑包，并记下它们的订单号。
  3. Send a sales inquiry to Basler Sales including the names and order numbers of the desired vTools or bundles and whether you need a USB dongle.

CodeMeter Runtime#

必须安装 CodeMeter Runtime 才能使用 vTools。

在 Windows 下，使用 pylon 安装程序并选择 Developer 配置文件时会自动安装 CodeMeter Runtime。

在 Linux 下，必须手动安装 CodeMeter Runtime。您可以在 \share\pylon 下找到 Debian 和 RPM 软件包。

在 CodeMeter 控制中心，您可以检查您的可用 vTool 许可证及其有效性。您可以通过 Windows Start 菜单打开它。

许可证有效期#

If you install a new major version release of the pylon Software Suite, current demo licenses become invalid even if their usage period hasn't elapsed yet. In that case, you can request another demo license for the new pylon version. Evaluation licenses aren't tied to a specific pylon version and remain valid until their 180-day license period has elapsed. Runtime licenses remain valid indefinitely.

要查看演示或评估许可证到期前的剩余时间：

  1. 在 Workbench 或 Help 菜单中，单击 vTool Licensing。
    Welcome to pylon 对话框的 vTool Licensing 选项卡即打开。
  2. 在 My Licenses 卡上，您可以找到所有有效许可证的概述和相应的到期日期。

一般限制#

  • vTools 不能在虚拟机上使用。
  • 演示许可证与激活它们的 pylon 主要版本关联。
