Licensing

To deploy a VeriStand project with the Power Electronics Add-On, a valid deployment license must be installed on the development machine. A deployment license can be tied to one or more NI targets, identified by the MAC address of their primary network adapters (NIC). The Power Electronics Add-On can only be executed on the targets added to the deployment license. Follow the steps below to request and install a deployment license. 

Requesting a License

Submit a license request using the OPAL-RT Support Portal.  Include the following information in the request:

• Your OPAL-RT Project Number

• The MAC Address of the primary Ethernet adapter of the Real Time target

• A message specifying that the license will be for use with the OPAL-RT Power Electronics Add-On for NI VeriStand.

The MAC Address can be obtained by connecting to the Real Time target in the NI Measurements & Automation Explorer (NI MAX).  Be sure to use the address from the eth0 (Primary) section.
