Features & Licensing

ADEPT has advanced features and flexible licensing that allow your team to work efficiently and pay for only the capabilities that are needed.

ADEPT licensing is divided between the client tools (desktop) and the rtx server (real-time industrial Linux server). ADEPT licenses are managed by tokens that reside in a license file. The license file can be node-locked to a client PC, IT server, or an rtx server (in some cases). All ADEPT license tokens can be considered “floating” licenses as they can be used by the local machine or checked-out by a different machine on the network (as long as the same license token is not used by more than one machine at a time). On-demand, cloud-based licensing is also available.

Client Tool Licensing

ADEPT client tools are licensed by the machine or seat, which means that as long as the machine has a license, any user can work at that station. There are two levels of ADEPT client tool seat license: Operator and Developer.

Operator Seat License

An operator seat license provides access to ADEPT-VI and ADEPT-GD and the ability to deploy and interact with ADEPT frameworks on rtx servers, including the ability to perform the following activities:

1. Attach to rtx server(s) and upload/download a framework
2. Control a connected framework via start, stop, reset and update setup
3. Perform data dictionary “gets” and “puts”
4. Utilize Triggers & Schedules and Overrides
5. Script simulation interaction in Python

Developer Seat License

A developer seat license allows an ADEPT user to build, deploy, and interact with an ADEPT Framework. It provides all the capabilities of an operator license, plus access to ADEPT-DE to build an ADEPT Framework that utilizes: C/C++ models, ADEPT Panels, ADI runtime libraries, built-in compilers and ADI logical devices, as well as access to ADEPT-DB for managing multi-protocol network message and signal configurations. A developer license also includes the ability to run a framework on GP (localhost), which can be very convenient when lab resources are in high demand.

Server Licensing

Each rtx server needs to be licensed to run an ADEPT framework. Rtx server licensing is based on the number of server cores and the I/O devices used by a running framework. This allows a framework to spread the computation load across any number of rtx servers and only consume as many cores as are used by the framework during runtime. This licensing model accommodates rtx servers that have both low and high core counts as only the cores utilized by the framework at runtime will require a license.
