    Codesys changed the license system (https://store.codesys.com/en/howto_applicationbasedlicenses). How do I know which license package my project will fit into?
    - I understood that one of the determinants of the package is the size of the application, but where can I see this size? (I put attached a picture with some size information I see).
    - My application uses 8 cores. I saw a package that says up to 4 cores. How to use 8 cores?
    - My application has no I/O. It only reads TCP/IP packets from 3 sensors and send TCP packet ta a camera to take photos.
    - Where do I extract the amount of TAGs used by TargeVisu (I don't use WebVisu).
    Thanks!

    Can anyone confirm my thinking here that this project will require Control Standard M because of the I/O channel count under the fieldbus?

    Hi, i think you are right.
    Did you press the key shopping cart?
    Codesys tells you the license.

    What I don't appreciate is that i need an additional license for communication.
    The system reports opc ua but this cheats you.
    This is communication that also concerns the tag symbols that codesys eth v3 exchanges with an operator panel.
    Attached is a screenshot of my case where you can see that communication opc ua is cheating you.
    512 tags included in the program license are few.
    So, I had to buy 2 licenses. one for the program and one for communication.
    I don't like this policy.
