One of the most common types of license files for Wonderware Intouch 10 1 is the wwsuite.lic file. This is an older form of Wonderware's license files, and it is typically used for products like InTouch 7.11 through to InTouch 10.1, as well as for older IO Servers and DA Servers. If you receive one of these files with your licenses, it is easier to install it even if you are unsure if you'll need it, as it may prevent problems later on if you do install an older version of a product. The format of the wwsuite.lic file and the archestra.lic file are very similar, with the determining factor primarily being the age of the software.
The wwsuite.lic file contains one or more license components, which are lines of information that specify licensing for an individual product. Each license component is assigned a unique part number and contains information such as the product name, serial number, type and duration of license, number of seats and other information. For example, a license component for InTouch 10.1 might look like this:
WWINTOUCH1000-0000000000000000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000 IN TOUCH SERIAL=1234-5678-9012 TYPE=PERMANENT SEATS=5 VERSION=10.1 DATE=01/01/2023
The first line is the part number, which identifies the product and its version. The second line is the product name, which is usually the same as the part number. The third line is the serial number, which is a unique identifier for the license. The fourth line is the type of license, which can be permanent, temporary, or demonstration. The fifth line is the number of seats, which indicates how many concurrent users can use the software. The sixth line is the version of the software, which must match or be lower than the installed version. The seventh line is the date of expiration, which applies only to temporary or demonstration licenses.
The wwsuite.lic file can be installed using the ArchestrA License Manager, which is a common utility for managing Wonderware licenses. To install a wwsuite.lic file using ArchestrA License Manager, follow these steps:
Click Start > All Programs > Wonderware > Common > ArchestrA License Manager.

Browse to the location of your wwsuite.lic file and click Open.

The wwsuite.lic file is one of the most popular types of license files for Wonderware Intouch 10 1, as it supports a wide range of products and versions. However, there are also other types of license files that Wonderware distributes, such as archestra.lic, archestraServer.lic, serial numbers, .XML files or .BIN files, and softkeys. Each type of license file has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the product and scenario.
