Tag Licensing

The version of VTS that you are running has been purchased with certain licensing restrictions that apply both to the number of tags, and to the number of VTS Internet Client sessions permitted by this installation (see Browsing VTS Applications on the Web). The number of tags for which your VTS version is licensed can be found in the About VTS dialog that is opened when you click the About VTS button on the VAM (see Accessing the VTS Version Information).

The number of tags for which your VTS installation is licensed is counted on a per application basis. For example, if your version of VTS is licensed for 10,000 tags, then each application you create can contain up to 10,000 tags. A quick way to discover the total number of tags currently used in your application is to open the Tag Browser and read its title bar. The Tag Browser's title bar lists the number of tags being displayed (according to the Type and Area filtering), against the total number of tags that have been created for your application. For example, in the image below, you are currently viewing 15 of 136 tags that have been created for this application.

VTS enables you to exclude certain tags from being loaded into your application at startup, on the basis of the area configured for their Area property. This is done using the [AREAS] section of the Config.ini configuration file for your application. Information on doing so can be found in the VTS Programmer's Guide: Config.ini [AREAS] Section Variables.
