In order after DEMO:
- MAC-address
- MAC-address
- USB dongle ID
- System ID (there is a third way of licensing a system not made official, that is to use an ID of something inside the Aspect Directory to tie the license to)

Don't have so much details. It has been developed on request for a customer not able to use USB dongle nor MAC address licenses. With this method, some encrypted aspect is added - this aspect data can serve as a ID you can tie a license to.

For all other customers (99.99999%) there are two options available:
- MAC-address
- USB-dongle

If you still need more info, please speak with your regional ABB sales representative.

After over 20 years with 800xA, I have still not seen a system with the third method of licensing. It is indeed a rarely occurring thing.

All systems need a license, you have possibility to order a license tied to one of the two MAC-addresses listed or the USB-dongle ID listed. You choose, then let your regional ABB sales representative know what you prefer. I would be surprised if you have come this far without a license, or is this a new installation of System 800xA?

As you can see, all the required license are loaded in the ABB license Entry (in the background of the photos), one question that arises is, at this stage, how do you know which one to choose?

Ahh... sorry. There is no "choice", open the .sla file (or the "cached" copy below one of the ABB License folders on C:\) and study it in notepad.exe. Each row containing a license feature, e.g. 800xA BASE is terminated (ended) with the ID chosen when registering the license, since you have a USB dongle, I guess you will see the five digit number there.
