Typhoon licenses

Overview of how to manage Typhoon licenses in Typhoon Test Hub.

Typhoon licenses are licenses that are issued by Typhoon HIL and that are required for running simulation on HIL devices with Typhoon HIL Control Center. Typhoon licenses are created by a user and their site keys are stored as encoded values. They can be used by other users as well, but the values won't event be presented on the UI as free (decoded) text, so those users won't see its original value.
Figure 1. Typhoon licenses table

The Typhoon licenses table (Figure 1) simply shows the name of the license.

In the Details section, you can delete a Typhoon license by clicking the button.

Note: By clicking on the button, columns of the table can be customized - hidden or shown depending on the preference. Columns of the table can be reordered by using drag and drop in the table header. When positioning cursor in between two columns, cursor for column resizing will show and enable change of the column's width. All changes made to the table will be automatically preserved.
