Viewing Licenses

To view the Licenses screen:

  • From the Dashboard, tap the Licenses tile.

  • From the System Settings menu, select Licenses.

Your technician can install licenses manually on your system, or synchronize them with the cloud.

You can tap Refresh to check that your licenses are up to date.

If the installed license is from the cloud, a cloud icon displays.

License types

Licenses enable different levels of functionality within the system. The following types of licenses are available:

License Type Description
Core license Allows the system to operate and provide basic machine guidance.
Software maintenance license Bundled together with the core license to allow users to install upgrades during the period of validity.
Module license Optional licenses that build on the core license to provide additional functionality. For example, Infield Designs, 3D Design Guidance.
Advanced module license Optional licenses that build on the core license to provide advanced functionality. For example, Earthmoving, workflow optimization.
GNSS receiver license Required together with some module licenses if GNSS receivers are used for the guidance solution. The license name depicts the type of corrections received. For example, Left GNSS Receiver with Full RTK Precision.
GNSS constellation license Optional GNSS receiver licenses you can enable to receive signals from the following GNSS constellations:

  • Global Positioning Satellite System (GLONASS) satellites, operated by the Russian Department of Defense.

  • Galileo Satellite System, operated by the European Space Agency.

  • BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) satellites, operated by the Chinese National Space Administration.

NOTE – By default, all GNSS receivers can receive signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, operated by the United States Department of Defense and Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) satellites, operated by the Japanese Satellite Positioning.

Starter Edition licenses

Starter Edition (SE) licenses provide a reduced excavator feature set with limited 3D functionality. Both an SE module license and the core excavator license is required.

SE licenses can be identified in the Licenses screen as: Module License – Excavator, 3D Guidance, SE.

The SE license supports:

  • 3D guidance to office designs and infield surfaces

  • Horizontal guidance to lines and offsets

  • Infield surface creation including levels, slopes, and alignments and profiles

  • Navigate to point on infield surfaces

  • Perpendicular and vertical lifts and offsets

  • Selecting reference surfaces

  • Point recording

  • Tag file support

  • UTS guidance

  • Trimble LOADRITE Payload Management app support (if you have the Loadrite license and hardware)

The SE license does not support:

  • On–machine augmented reality

  • Mapping

  • Navigate to point on office designs

  • Lane guidance

  • Multiple surfaces

  • Selecting more than one office surface at once

  • Avoidance zones

By default, the SE license does not support the following, but you can optionally apply them to further enhance the SE license functionality:

  • Excavator Design Automatics

  • Module License – Excavator, Advanced Positioning and Controls

  • Module License – Earthmoving, Workflow Optimization

For full functionality, your technician can upgrade your SE license. An upgraded SE license can be identified in the Licenses screen as: Module Bundle – Infield Designs, 3D Guidance, Upgrade from HEX SE.

When the upgrade from SE license is applied to a system with an SE license the system will have the same functionality as one with the Infield Designs, 3D Guidance license. For example, Module Bundle – Infield Designs, 3D Guidance.

Status icons

The system provides a status icon beside each license, as shown below:

Icon Type Description
Good For the current configuration, the license is installed correctly.
Attention

  • For the current configuration, a license that is expected, and which adds functionality, is missing or expired.

  • The installed license is about to expire.

Warning For the current configuration, a license that is required is missing or expired.
None A device is connected, but has no license installed.
