Problem
In Geo SCADA, what counts as a 'point' towards the server license's point count?
Solution
We often receive the question, "what constitutes a point in the Geo SCADA database". As there is a point count limit in the server license, this is a valid question. The answer can be summed up as follows:
- any driver point (analog, digital, string or time) (i.e. DNP3, modbus, OPC, etc)
- Calculation points
- internal points
- pager points
- performance monitor points
The following points do not count towards the points limit in the server license:
- Accumulator points
- Parameter objects
- Time Profile objects
- Value Map objects
- Variable objects
The screen shot below shows the groups who's points count towards the point count in the license:
If a user is ever not sure whether a point counts towards the point count in the license, a real time update can be seen in the server status as follows:
