Geo SCADA: What counts as a 'point' towards the point count?

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:
