The default view of the Licenses slot under the ProvisioningNwExt is the Network License Summary (Figure 25).

This view provides summary information about the license in each host running a station, and is sourced by the “Licenses” device extension of each child NiagaraStation station. If you double-click on a row, the view changes to the property sheet of the “Licenses” extension for that particular NiagaraStation.

A status of “Up To Date” simply means that the license on the remote host agrees with the license that the Supervisor has for it in its (own) local license database. It may be possible that a more recent license is available for it on the licensing server.For more details and related information, refer to the Platform Guide sections “About the licensing server”, “About the local license database”, and “About license archive (.lar) files”.

As needed in the Network License Summary view, you can select one more stations (license rows), and Update. An update requests the latest license from the online licensing server, and if a newer one is found (than already installed), installs it in the JACE, as well as update that license in the Supervisor’s local license database. The “Last Updated” timestamp is also reset to the time of the update command.
