Types of License Keys
Wonderware InTouch license keys can be classified into two types: softkey and hardkey. A softkey license is a software-based license that is stored on the computer where Wonderware InTouch is installed. A hardkey license is a hardware-based license that is stored on a USB dongle that is plugged into the computer where Wonderware InTouch is running. The type of license key determines the activation method and the license management tool.
