How is FactoryTalk Historian licensed?
The FactoryTalk Historian server is licensed by the total number of time-series reporting tags. A time-series reporting tag is a data point that is sampled over time and can be reported on by FactoryTalk Historian; for example, a temperature of a vessel. Data for that reporting tag can be stored in the FactoryTalk Historian database or in an external database. The smallest FactoryTalk Historian Server license is for 150 reporting tags, and the largest is for 70,000 tags. Each server license contains one FactoryTalk Historian Authoring Client license and a CAL for SQL Server 2000. Users who access FactoryTalk Historian reports must have FactoryTalk Runtime licenses. Users who configure FactoryTalk Historian data collection or author reports must have an FactoryTalk Historian Authoring Client License.
