Determining required licenses

While working in the TwinCAT development environment (XAE), TwinCAT automatically detects all required licenses. For example, as soon as a PLC project is added, a corresponding "TC1200 PLC" license is added to the list of required licenses.

In the Project Licenses tab of the TwinCAT 3 license manager you can see which licenses TwinCAT 3 has automatically determined and where the license request comes from. To open the TwinCAT 3 license manager, double-click on License in the System subtree of the Solution Explorer.
