User Account Control (UAC) settings may need to be changed in order to properly run the software. 2. Use the Run as Administrator option when installing and running applications to prevent issues with licensing and operation. 3. User file rights affect LNS databases that have been copied over from another computer. Set permissions on the folder containing your files to ensure access to the database. Demo Mode and Registration The LN-Builder 3.4 software runs in a fully functional demo mode for up to 30 days after installation, or until you register your software. For details, see Registering LN-Builder Software, LNS Device Credits, and Adding LNS Device Credits. LNS Device Credits The LNS server uses a credit system to control how many devices you can use with LN-Builder 3.4. Each time you commission a device, one credit is consumed. Conversely, when you remove the commissioning from a device, one credit is returned. Replacing or recommissioning a device does not consume any credits. No credits are required to commission a router, network service device, or the LNS network interface. Additionally, no credits are required to commission LON devices that utilize the FT5000 Series Neuron. Note: The LN-PRG Series version 12 controllers and the LN-PRG6x0 version 2 controllers utilize the FT5000 Series Neuron. Both the LN-BLDSW-0 and TL-BLDSW-0 versions of the LN-Builder 3.4 software have 64 LNS device credits after the software is licensed. Only four LNS device credits are available when the software is run on demo mode. You can purchase more credits as required. Credits are associated with the license file on a particular computer and can be used to commission devices on one or more networks. The LNS server allows you to operate with deficit credits for a limited time. Deficit credits allow you to continue commissioning devices when you have used all the credits you purchased. Once you have used all the credits you have purchased, you can add devices and routers using deficit credits. You can operate on deficit credits for up to 2 weeks (14 days) before you must purchase new LNS device credits. Otherwise, the LNS server on the computer stops operating. You must purchase new credits to reactivate the LNS server. 4
