Yes, that is the way it is: In order to use the features of the Excel Option (outside of the trial), you need to purchase a “base“ QuickOPC license as well.

You will install both licenses together, on the computer where you run the Excel “in production”.
You can also install them on the development computer, if you wanted the data for more than 30 minutes there as well.

Hello.

I have to connect a Excel file with a PLC and already test your Software and works nice so I want to buy it in order to run the excel file more than 30 min.

I saw in the Purchasing page the diferent choices and the Excel option must have any other QuickOPC edition.

I will not use the QuickOPC anymore, the delevop is already do on a excel and only use the RDT option with your component as comunication.

It is possible to keep running the comunication in the excel file only with the excel option license?

If not, I need to purchase the full license? And If I do, where I need to use the license? My laptop as developer? I didnt have it installed on my laptop.

I understand I only need the excel option and a "runtime" license to keep it running but didnt see any option and is so expensive to pay the full license if I didnt use anymore.

Best Regards.
