DALI User Manual: Licensing

Demonstration Mode

If the DALI server does not have a valid license, it will run in demonstration mode. In this mode the server only supports a single Virtual Board which is internally configured to have 16 A/D, D/A, and Digital I/O "virtual" channels. This mode allows the user to try out DALI features as if real hardware with DAQ features were present. To use DALI with real hardware you'll need to license DALI.

Getting a License

Contact Diamond Systems Sales for information on purchasing a DALI license. You can e-mail sales@diamondsystems.com or call toll free 1-800-36-PC104

Installing the License

Diamond Systems will e-mail you a license file. This file should be copied to the /etc directory where you installed DALI. Do not modify this file or the license may become invalid.

You will now be able to configure your DALI server to use real DAQ hardware. A short message will be displayed when the DALI server starts to signal that the license is valid.
