Client gets wrong license

Hi Olivier,

The information you sent is being very useful, but let me make sure I've got it right.Our current architecture is based on 2 redundant I/O, alarm, trend, report servers & 2 display clients as terminal servers. There are 30 Control Clients licenses with unlimited points installed in hard keys connected to the servers.
There is a demand for replacement of an obsolete HMI by a Citect Client in a small plant. Ideally, I would like to take advantage of our redundant architecture of servers and display clients and purchase a Control Client license with 500 points + redundancy. Also, I need to prevent that client from consuming one of the unlimited points licenses.
If I understood correctly, I will be able to configure a specific client session to start SCADA Runtime with an alternate .ini file, which will have the [Client]PointCountRequired parameter set to use the 500 points license. Is that correct?

Regards,
Igor
