DST consumed by a particular Module

Hi All

In the latest Versions of DeltaV, Is there a way to read the DST consumed by a particular Module?
You could See that I previous versions, by going to the Module properties and the Execution Tab and it used to show the DST consumed, but no longer available in the Version 13.

    In v13 there is a detailed license report showing where and what type of DST are used. View this from Explorer.

    Hi Andre, Thanks for the reply. Yes I can view that, But nothing which shows DST consumed per module like in the previous versions. Is there a way we can see DST consumed per module?

    In v12, DST licensing changed from being counted by module. Now it is by IO. If an IO channel is referenced by a module, it counts as a DST. If it is referenced by 100 modules, it counts as 1 DST. The new utility shows you all the IO in your system and whether it is currently referenced and thus licensed.
    In v11 and earlier, you had to look at each module to see how many DST's it used, and the sum of all the module DST references made up the total DST of the controller.

    If you use the "References" menu option on a module, there will be a list of IO references the module uses. These are not necessarily DST's if the module references some common IO referenced by other modules. But that will tell you what IO references you have.

    In the License Demand app, you can see which modules reference a particular IO channel.

    Bottom line, the IO references in v12 and up are not necessarily all DSTs. And not all IO channels are DST's

    Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. If this does not meet your needs, please explain what you are trying to do with the DST per module information.

    Hi Andre, Thanks a lot for the clarifications and update on the way the licensing is calculated in the new version. This clarifies my doubt. I had used HART PV,FV;TV and SV for a particular DST and wanted to see if it consumes 1 or 4 DST´s. I was able to see In the License Demand app, that Only one DST is consumed. Thanks again for the reply.
