NOTE

Users logged in and identified as E3DataAccess and E3AccessLayer, the Program column on the Logged in users list, do not consume E3 Viewer licenses from an E3 Server.

Changes in the N1 to N4 properties of I/O Tags and in the B1 to B4 and Size properties of I/O Blocks consume licenses.

Changes in the ItemID property of OPC Tags, OPC Blocks, OPC UA Tags, and OPC UA Blocks consume licenses, as well as changes in the Size property of OPC Blocks and OPC UA Blocks.

For the previous cases, it is recommended to deactivate these objects in scripts, by using the Deactivate method, execute these changes, and then reactivate the objects by using the Activate method.
