Apply Execution Protection to a component
When applying License-Based Source Protection to a component, you also apply Execution Protection. Execution Protection restricts execution of the component to a specific controller model or to controllers on which a specific license is present.
TIP:
Execution Protection and component locking is supported only on
CompactLogix
5380, CompactLogix
5480, and ControlLogix
5580 controllers in this version of the Logix Designer
application.To apply Execution Protection to a component:
- SelectTools > Security > Configure Source Protectionto open theSource Protection Configurationdialog box.
- Insert theCmStickcontaining the license that you want to use to protect the component into a USB port on a computer. The licenses must contain theProtectpermission to be used to protect components. If a license does not contain theProtectpermission, it will not appear in the list of licenses.
- In theSource Protection Configurationdialog box, select the component to be protected.
- SelectProtect.
- In theProtectdialog box, select the license for this component.
- Select the Execution Protection type:
- Protect with controller model only. When you select this option, the component runs only on the same controller model as the one specified for the project. For example, if you configure Execution Protection for a project on a 5580 controller, the component can only be executed on another 5580 controller.
- Protect with controller model and license. When you select this option, the component runs only on controllers that are the same model as the one specified for the project and that contain the execution license that you select.If you selectProtect with controller model and license, select the execution license from the list of available licenses.
