Do I have to buy CSWorks?
CSWorks Framework
The CSWorks framework is free to try and use for deployments with up to 999 tags, 9 historical data points, 9 alarms, and one web client. Larger deployments require a CSWorks commercial license. Commercial licenses do not expire. Please contact us for details about purchasing a license.
If you are considering CSWorks for your solution, be aware that the installation package:
- Does not include a production-grade SQL database engine. To store production alarming and historical data, you can use an SQL database engine of your choice.
- Does not include OPC servers that can be used in production. Before purchasing CSWorks, ensure that you have a live data access plan for your deployment.
Additional components
The CSWorks framework includes a complete server infrastructure for alarming and historical data.
If you are planning to use an SQL database of your choice to perform offline data analysis only,
then you do not need to buy the CSWorks Alarm Summary or Trend Control. Otherwise, you might consider purchasing these components from us.
The CSWorks installation package includes Alarm Summary and Trend control demo versions, which are 100% functional, but have a "Demo" tag on them. To use the controls in a production environment, you have to purchase commercial versions from us. With the commercial versions, you are entitled to free upgrades for one year.
