Licensing

When working with winIDEA software a valid license is required. Besides winIDEA operation, a valid license includes full Software Maintenance, entitling the user to:

  • Free software updates - including new functionalities and new device support
  • Online Technical Support

If a TASKING BlueBox debugger is used, the license can be stored in it. This allows:

  • simply moving BlueBox hardware from one desk to another and
  • access to the BlueBox hardware via Ethernet from any PC with winIDEA software installed.

Alternatively, the TASKING License Manager (TLM) can be used. This allows:

The TASKING License Manager (TLM) allows usage of PC node-locked or floating licenses.

Note: TLM is supported in winIDEA 9.21.253 and newer.

 

winIDEA Editions

  • Standard - provides fundamental debug functionality
  • Pro - adds security, safety, real-time analysis, and synchronization functionality
  • Test - full functionality for headless/automated operation (interactive usage not supported)

winIDEA vECU Editions are used with virtual ECU simulators and provide the same levels of functionality.

  • vECU Standard
  • vECU Pro
  • vECU Test

License Model

Perpetual License (PL)

  • 1 Year Software Maintenance
  • System remains operational without extending the license
  • Software Maintenance can be renewed before expiry. This provides continued access to new Software updates and Technical Support.


Note: After the Software Maintenance of the Perpetual License license expires, all winIDEA releases published before the license expiration date can be used indefinitely, however, you are no longer entitled to TASKING technical support.


Legacy License (iC5xxx systems)

On iC5xxx systems, the Perpetual License uses the same time-expiry concept, but Activation Codes are used instead of the Edition.


Time-Based License (TBL)

  • 1 Year Software Maintenance
  • System stops working after the license has expired​

Note: After the license has expired, winIDEA cannot be used anymore.


Legacy License (iC5xxx systems)

On iC5xxx systems, the Time-Based License was called Enterprise License, with these variants:

  • Enterprise Basic
  • Enterprise Analyzer
  • Enterprise Security
  • Enterprise Advanced

After winIDEA 9.21.253 Enterprise Basic has the functionality of winIDEA Standard Edition.


All other variants have the functionality of winIDEA Pro Edition.


License Renewal

Once the initial winIDEA license expires (typically after 12 months), you can renew it. A valid winIDEA license includes full Software Maintenance. If the license has expired longer than two months, a license rejoining applies. Both, a renewal and a rejoin can be requested by email to license@tasking.com.
