Runtimes

DAQFactory has the unique feature of being able to run and develop at the same time. Many users purchase a single development license and use it to develop and to run their application. This allows them to make changes at any time, on the fly, without stopping. Many times, however, you do not want your end users editing the document. For this there is the Runtime license. The runtime license is like regular DAQFactory except you can't modify the document. You can of course still control outputs and manipulate the screens you created for your end users, but they will not be able to modify the screens, modify script, add new inputs, etc.

The runtime version of DAQFactory is the same executable as the development version. Because of this, you can switch between runtime and development mode without stopping. With the development license on the hardware key option, you can go to a computer with a runtime license, insert the hardware key with the development license, switch to development mode, make a few changes, save the document, then pull the key to revert back to runtime mode, all without stopping the application. This is especially useful when you need to debug your application on the real machinery. Since the runtime version of DAQFactory is the same executable as the development version, you do not need to install any other software to get into development mode.
