Tracer Ensemble Licensing

Tracer Ensemble is licensed based upon the number of building panels it will control. Typically, Trane panels (specifically Tracer Summit BCUs, Tracer panels and Tracker panels) can be identified on the network as single panels. But non-Trane panels and Tracer SC controllers appear on the network as a collection of I/O points, not a single panel. To accommodate the difference in how the panels appear on the network, licenses are granted using the following formula:

•  Trane BACnet devices require one license each, but Tracer Summit Communications Bridges and Tracer UCs do not require licenses.
• Base Tracer SCs and any controller installed to an application Tracer SC do not require a license.
•  Non-Trane devices require between 1/1500 and one license each, depending upon the number of BACnet I/O points in them.

• Each I/O point counts as 1/1500 of a license.

• A single non-Trane BCU-equivalent panel with more than 1500 I/O points requires only one license.

• BACnet object types such as calendar or trend objects do not require a license, but they are only shown in Tracer Ensemble if they reside in a device that is licensed by Tracer Ensemble.
