8.5 Technology Guarding
Technology Guarding is a licensing approach used to safeguard individual software components. Licenses are
stored on a "Technology Guard" (also referred to simply as a dongle), which is connected to an available USB
interface on the target system.
The B&R software components Automation Runtime Embedded (ARemb), Automation Runtime Windows (ARwin)
and Automation Runtime Embedded Terminal require a license, so a Technology Guard must always be used.
Information:
Licensing with the Technology Guarding wizard is available in Automation Studio 4.1 and Automation
Runtime 4.08 and higher. Earlier versions of Automation Runtime do not require a Technology Guard.
Additional information about Technology Guarding can be found in the Automation Studio help system.
