I would like to ask for some help.
I bought the IIoT Libraries SL but I am struggling with the proper license setup.
The device says that the MQTTClientSL: Demo mode expired.
I see the license activated under License Manager -> Workstation -> Softcontainer.
I get an error when I try to do License Manager -> Device -> Softcontainer -> TBEN-L5-PLC-11 selected.
As I know the Turck PLC has CODESYS PLC Runtime, and I don't want to use dongle but assigning the key to this certain device.
Hi,
all products which have 'SL' - single license in the product name need to activated to the plc side.
This means your plc should support the runtime key and the license for Mqtt client sl need to be activated on this key and the key must plugged to the plc.

The dongle alternative worked for us. It was around 30 bucks a dongle. Can't just use a usb either we tried. Didn't try duplicating a dongle onto a usb, that might be possible. The dongle is just a usb flashdrive though.

Hello 🙋♂️,
thanks for the reply.
In the meantime I have contacted with Turck.
The problem that this certain Turck PLC is not support currently the softcontainer licensing (device).
So yes, I should use Codesys Key to be able to do the device side licensing just as you mentioned.
BTW, Turck will provide a new FW 2021Q1 which will support softcontainer on device.
Hi,
I was wondering if you were ever able to get a soft container working for the Turkc PLCs?
Hello,
No, unfortunately not. (But I haven't had any Turck PLC related projects for a while.)
Get in touch with your local Turck's representative.
BR!

Hello
Quick question, i have the same problem as you do with my plc not supporting softcontainer. Only difference is mine is a weintek not a turck.
Is it sure that the dongle alternative will work and be supported?
Is there any way I can check before ordering the dongle?

I would recommend to ask Weintek if it will work.
