Licensing of Project Data Exchange with EPLAN Platform

Licenses for the project data exchange

The direct import of EPLAN Electric P8 and EPLAN Pro Panel project data into EPLAN Harness proD Studio uses the so-called API of the EPLAN Platform. EPLAN Harness proD and either EPLAN Electric P8, EPLAN Pro Panel, or EPLAN Fluid must be installed on the same computer. For the schematics and layout space data import from EPLAN Platform the EPLAN Harness proD Extensions license is required.

License selection during import of project data from EPLAN Electric P8 / EPLAN Pro Panel

In the import wizard, the EPLAN product license can be selected from the installed ones. Then the Select license dialog is opened if the Never (always display selection) option has been selected from the Selection mode list during the start of EPLAN Electric P8 in the Select license dialog. The Select license dialog is opened when a path to an EPLAN Electric P8 project has been determined in the EPLAN import wizard and the [Next] button is clicked. The selected license is locked for the entire EPLAN Harness proD Studio session. If another license is needed to be used or the license in use is to be freed, EPLAN Harness proD Studio must be restarted. If Always use the selected license has been set in the Selection mode list, the last-used license is used without the prompt.

If an *.hpdex file is imported from EPLAN Electric P8 into EPLAN Harness proD Studio, no license of the EPLAN software is needed. EPLAN Electric P8 / EPLAN Pro Panel / EPLAN Fluid do not have to be installed on the same computer in this case.
