Raylux 1.0.1: Licensing

Licensing changes. If you are running 1.0.0, replace it with this — the 1.0.0 download was built before these changes and does not include them.

Licensing

• Unlicensed gateways now stop. A gateway with no valid licence and no running trial previously kept working in a reduced form — 500 tags, three devices, three screens. That was enough to run a small plant indefinitely without a licence. It now does not run.
• The seven-day grace period is unchanged. A lapsed licence still gets a full week with everything working before anything stops.
• Lapsed-licence warnings are now red, and show the number of days left, instead of a quieter notice that was easy to walk past.
• Recovery never needs a licence. You can always sign in to the configuration console on a stopped gateway and install a licence or restart the trial. A gateway cannot lock you out.

Does this affect me?

• Current licence — no. You will not notice this update.
• Lapsed licence — not yet. Your seven days are unchanged; this only changes what happens after they run out.
• Two-hour trial — no change. Restart the trial or install a licence when it ends, as before.

Installing

• Windows Server 2019 or later, or Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
• Installing over 1.0.0 keeps your projects, tags, history and users.
• The gateway installs as a Windows service and starts on boot.
• These downloads are not code-signed yet, so Windows will warn you the first time you run one.

Downloads

• RayluxSetup-1.0.1-x64.exe — the whole system: gateway, designer and plant-floor client. Start here if you are not sure.
• Raylux-1.0.1-x64.msi — the gateway on its own, for scripted or unattended installs.
• Raylux-Studio-Setup-1.0.1-x64.exe — the designer, for an engineer's workstation. Also available from any running gateway.
• Raylux-Lens-Setup-1.0.1-x64.exe — the plant-floor client for a panel or workstation.
