Details
Are there any requirement of license for launching and running Plant from Excel :
1) Is InterfacePackage necessary to start and execute Plant Simulation from Excel ?
2) Is InterfacePackage necessary to start and execute Plant Simulation from applications developed in C language?
3) When InterfacePackage is used once, when will InterfacePackage be released?
Solution
In general the Interface Package is not needed for the communication with Excel.
To answer above specific three questions :
1) The Interface Package is not required to start Plant Simulation from Excel or from any other application.
2) See point1. As long as the application (developed in C or any other language) communicates via the COM Interface with Plant Simulation, the Interface Package is not required. If the C Interface is used, the Interface Package is required. The C Interface can load a DLL developed in C or C++ and communicate with it.
3) All licenses are released when Plant Simulation is being closed. Closing the model will not release the licenses.
