Crystal Reports Driver

SAP now require that each operational installation of the Crystal Reports runtime module used within a server application (including Geo SCADA Expert / ClearSCADA) requires a license. As a result, Schneider Electric is now required to purchase a Crystal Reports runtime license on behalf our customers for each server installation using Crystal Reports.

If you currently have the Crystal Reports Driver installed on your system and use this to generate and display reports, you are now required to purchase one additional Crystal Reports runtime license on each SCADA Server for this functionality to be provided in conjunction with this license update.

By advising that a Crystal Reports license is required, an update of your existing Geo SCADA Expert license will only be provided after payment is received for the Crystal Reports runtime license(s). For further information regarding pricing of the Crystal Reports runtime license, please contact your local Schneider Electric sales representative.

By advising that a Crystal Reports license is NOT required, you are confirming that Crystal Reports is not currently used on your system, and therefore this capability will be removed from your Geo SCADA Expert license(s) during the update.

Frequently Asked Questions...

What is a Serial Number?

The serial number is an individual number that Schneider Electric has assigned to your Geo SCADA Expert license.  The serial number is located on the back of the DVD case that contained your installation CD.

If your license is on a USB dongle, there will be an additional sticker on the dongle with the serial number.

If your license is a Softkey, the serial number can also be found in the license file in the License Details window which is displayed by right-clicking on the Server Icon in the Windows system tray. The license file will be at the end of the license field and will have a file extension of .lic.

A sample serial number is "D100999"
 
What is a Locking Code?

A locking code is a special number that encodes the details of the dongle.  It is a string of 62 characters.

An sample locking code is "DLDFFMIUEEANGTJJCEBMDGBCAPDAHHCWGCDWCTBOEQJEERCXAXAADXDNAAEBDL"
 
How do I get a Locking Code?

The locking code can be extracted from a USB dongle using a utility that is installed with Geo SCADA Expert.
