License Levels
Line Licenser, Line Configurator and Line Manager
These three versions are all client-server based installations of ToolsTalk 2, but with different feature sets. Line Licenser is the smallest package in which ToolsTalk 2 enters on a clean installation, when neither of the other licenses have been installed. When ToolsTalk 2 has the status Line Licenser, all Line Manager and Line Configurator functionality will be visible, but a warning message will appear every time the user tries to use the included features.
ToolsTalk 2 will only remove, unlink, or delete data created in Line Manager, if a downgrade is initiated. This could happen for example when downgrading to a Line Configurator license, or if the trial period of the Line Manager license has expired.
Station Setup
This is a version of ToolsTalk 2 where all the components are located locally on the computer, giving a one-to-one connection. Station Setup runs without an SQL server database connection and has a built-in limit that enables only one connected controller at a time. Note, a valid license is required to use Station Setup, otherwise a warning message will be displayed.
An unlicensed Station Setup can have one virtual station and this will be validated against the License Server.
