    Hi there,

    I would like to prepare a clean (in terms of stripped of CodeSys license) Raspberry Pi image ready for release.

    Whenever a new device is sold I would like to flash the clean image, connect with my IDE to the device and activate a new CodeSys license on the device.

    My question: Which files do I need before creating the clean release image?

    I know of the following folder: /var/opt/codesys with the following relevant content:

    pi@mypi:~ $ tree /var/opt/codesys/
    /var/opt/codesys/
    β”œβ”€β”€ 3SLicense.wbb
    β”œβ”€β”€ backup
    β”‚Β Β  └── 3SLicenseInfo.tar

    Thanks!

    Best regards,

    Hey.

    We are planning a similar approach to this with our products in the near future. We are looking to streamline setting up our CODESYS devices by having a pre-built image ready to go.

    How did you get on with this? Anyone else have any information on this topic?

    Hi,
    just clean up the content in
    cmact_licenses... or delete the whole directory.
    On bootup on the new device this will generated with binding the new hardware ( new empty softcotainer). Thats it.
    Best Regards
    Edwin
