First of all, welcome to this site, and thank you for taking time to read this text.
You are wondering why another SCADA with so many available choices 🙂

Developing HMI solutions, often we have noticed that the cost for purchasing the run-time and development licenses was even more than the cost related to development time.
Another important thing we have noticed is that normally to reach the goal, you need to use few functions compared to the many features at your disposition.
Again in the worst situation, every feature you need must be paid apart from the initial cost.

In other words, we were tired to pay many money even for a simple HMI solution.

In 2012 we started this project called "eScada HMI solution" where (e) stands for essential.
It is essential because it aims to implement the essential features you normally need.
After all this development time a very cheap HMI solution has came, with many interesting features.

eScada doesn’t require any installation procedure nor compilation, because it is designed to be used with removable supports, without any dependencies with the OS or other frameworks.

Development tools and run-time license

There is no need to pay for the development tools, they can be used to implement a real solution without any restriction.
You will be able to try everything and only if you will be satisfied you will buy the license for the final run-time use.
Without a valid run-time license the only restriction is the run-time component will work for one hour.

You will pay only for the run-time license.
The license is strictly bound to the specific OS family and your physical device.
OS Family refers to either Windows or Linux.
The physical device refers to your specific hardware configuration.

In case of hardware failure the new replacement must be licenced; you can use the previous licence file till you get a new licence code.
With the previous licence file the HMI solution will work without any restrictions, but a warning message will appear every one hour.
The new licence code will be generated free of charge for one-time hardware replacement event only, but only by sending all three required items:
1) the new registration code
2) the previous original licence document
3) the previous licence file
Without these items, you don't have the right to get a new free of charge licence.

Any hardware clone or virtual machine copy requires its own separate license.
Using a license on cloned hardware or copied virtual machines is not permitted.
Each physical or virtual instance must have its own unique license.

Support

We offer only an online support how it is described in support section.
Other kind of direct support must be discussed with us, even though we are pleased to meet you wherever you are.

Greetings

We would be very glad if you could try eScada.
Please ask other information you may need using the contacts form.

We wish you could enjoy to implement new HMI solutions using eScada, as much as we have enjoyed to develop it.
