Usually you skip this step for a new RB-603 or RB-645 retrofit board, as it ships with the necessary R2 license already installed. However,
if the unit was ever “decommissioned for Niagara R2”, this step can be useful, and appears similar as shown in Figure 12.
At this step in the Install Niagara R2 wizard, you can install an upgraded R2 license file for the JACE-603 or JACE-645, if saved on your PC. Typically, this license
includes all the previous items in the original R2 license file, plus the obix feature (if not already included).
The R2 license file is a digitally-signed text file, which has a “hostId” entry that must match the unique R2 Host ID of the JACE-603 or JACE-645. The R2 Host ID for the JACE is shown at the top of this dialog.
Do not attempt to edit this license file. Doing so will invalidate its digital signature and disable Niagara R2 station operation.
At the time of this document, R2 license files are not available via the online Licensing Server, unlike NiagaraAX license files. Note that after the R2 Installation wizard completes, if
needed you can still install an R2 license file, using the “R2 Platform Tool” platform view.
To install the R2 license file
To install the R2 license file, do the following:
Click .
A popup “Select File” (file chooser) dialog appears.
Click on controls to navigate to the location of the license file, and click to select (highlight) the file. An example is shown above in ???.
-
Click .
The popup dialog closes, showing the R2 license step with the license file and its R2 Host ID value as shown in Figure 13.
Ensure the license file’s R2 Host ID value matches the “R2 Host ID of the target platform:” value shown in the dialog.
-
If necessary, you can click the file to select it, then click to remove it from the wizard.
-
Then click (again) to look for the proper R2 license file, as shown in Step 1.
-
-
Click to continue.
The next step appears, either Install Local Niagara R2 Lexicons (if selected), or the ending Review and finish the Install Niagara R2 wizard.
