Vijeo Citect 7.3x upgradation to Plant SCADA 2023

[Mehak]

Hi Everyone,

I want to upgrade my Vijeo Citect 7.3x to Plant SCADA 2023. My current point count is 15000. Kindly suggest the part number and suitable Plant SCADA 2023. The USB serial key is 0480-32650

Thank You in advance

Hi @Mehak,

I'd recommend reaching out to your AVEVA Sales representative (or Distributor) to get this key back into support. This will allow you to run the latest version and receive monthly software patches.

The latest version of AVEVA Plant SCADA is 2023 R2. The "Installation Guide" PDF on the ISO/ZIP also has a section on upgrading with all the details on how it can be done.

Hi Mehak,

There has been step changes to Point Counts to align all AVEVA HMI/SCADA.

* 75,150,500 -> 1K
* 1500 -> 2.5K
* 5K -> 10K
* 15K, 50K -> 100K
* Unlimited.

If an end user is in current support or get back into CF Support, they would have access to update their USB keys to the latest version via AVEVA License Website.
https://softwaresupport.aveva.com/LicenseGenerator/Citect/#?selectedTab=LicenseGenerator

Otherwise, they will need to purchase an upgrade, which will entail upgrading these points at a cost.
Please contact your local SE representative to get a quotation.

Thank You for the reply. I have 1 full license. 10 connectivity (API/OPC), 10 OLEDB connectors, drivers all supported, networking allowed, What does that mean? Please explain 

Thank You

That license allows you to run a Server/Client role with up to 10 connectivity clients attached (e.g. CTAPI or OPC clients). 

What is important is the version the license is able to run. When I put your key number into the GCS license tool, it says that this license is out of support and is only able to run v7.30 product.

Getting the key back into support will allow you to update the key to run the latest software (2023 R2 / v8.50).

Please get in contact with your distributor to discuss the options of getting this key back into support.
