DNP 2.0 requires that both DNP Enterprise Server and DNP Server should have licenses installed (previous versions required only DNP Server to be licensed).

If you are upgrading from DNP 1.5.3 then you are probably an existing customer and all your licenses have been convrted to 2.0 Gold licenses. Gold license can be applied for both ES and Server applications.

Please, do not try to install old 1.x licenses as they are not compatible with DNP 2.X and will be rejected).

Please, watch carefully that the same license is not installed on several servers. Such licenses will be automatically blocked by licensing engine.

In DNP 2.0 both Enterprise Server and Server licenses can be installed from DNP web interface without a need to open configuration files.

Enterprise Server

To install the license to DNP Enterprise Server sign in under "serveradmin" account and open "Configuration -> Licenses" page:

Enter license serial number and click "Add License" button. If the license is accepted you'll see it in the list of installed licenses.

When the list of ES licenses is empty Enterprise Server operates in EXPRESS mode. The maximum number of users is limited to 5 and up to 3 remote servers is allowed. You can register one controlled server without a license located on the same machine.

Server

To install the license to DNP Server(s) sign in under "serveradmin" account and open "Configuration -> Servers" page:

Open "Server Details" page for the server you want to install the license to.

Expand "Licenses" section:

Enter license serial number and click "Add License" button. If the license is accepted you'll see it in the list of installed licenses.

Repeat this procedure for each registered remote server.

If the list of Server licenses is empty Server operates in FREE mode. This means it is accessible from Enterprise Server only installed on the same machine.
