Deployment and Machine Licensing
Stardraw Control 2010 allows you to generate executables from any project you have created. You can run
these executables on your development machine (i.e. the one on which Stardraw Control 2010 has been installed)
as long as the USB dongle that contains your Stardraw Control 2010 license is plugged in. This is ideal for
testing and fine-tuning your project.
When your project is ready to be deployed and tested as part of the actual system, follow this deployment
procedure:
- In Stardraw Control 2010 create your executable (press the Compile Executable button, or press Shift+F5)
- On the target machine install
Stardraw Control Machine Licensing
- Copy the generated executable to the target machine
Having followed the procedure above, any generated executable will operate without restriction for 30 days
from first installation of Stardraw Control Machine Licensing. This allows you to fully test your control system.
Final Deployment
To hand over a fully functioning system that will run without restriction, you simply need to
purchase a Machine License. The Machine License comes on a USB dongle which must be plugged into the computer that runs the
Standalone or Server executable, depending on the nature of your project. Note that no dongle or security is required on client machines -
all licensing is handled server-side.
The Machine License allows your generated executable to run without restriction on the target machine: this
includes any new executables, for example, if you have made minor changes to your project, or even wholly new and unrelated
executables
