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:
- Centralized license management,
- Use of 3rd party hardware debuggers and virtual ECU simulators.
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

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

- 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.
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.
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.
