<div class="markdown_content"><p>For the Virtual Control you need to use a "Network license". The Virtual Control has parameters of which one is the reference to the license server. This can be the device itself, but you need to activate the license on the host system (not in the container). For this, CODESYS has a Network License server with WBM (web based management). See for the Network License configuration:<br/> <a href="https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Control/_rtsl_license_controller_linux.html" rel="nofollow">https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Control/_rtsl_license_controller_linux.html</a></p> <p>If it is only for evaluation, I would advise to use a CODESYS (USB) key and activate the license on the key. Then you still have to install the CODESYS Network License server on the host, but you don't have to activate the license as soft license on the device. The benefit is that you can easily move your license to another device when needed. Off course your device must have a free USB port available to be able to do this.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I am evaluating a Toradex product for use with CODESYS.<br/> Toradex and CODESYS are partners, but using<br/> "CODESYS Virtual Control for Linux ARM64 SL" together with a carrier board "Verdin mallow"<br/> However it doesn't seem to be a soft container for licenses. So how do I install a license</p></div>
