RPi reboot every 2h with licence

    Hello,

    I have several RPi using Codesys with licence and I could see that my device reboot after 2h.
    My device has an external watchdog that reboots the RPi if the PLC shut down.

    With a little bash script I logged the status of codesyscontrol service every second until RPi reboot, and my last entry before the reboot is each time 2h and 5min after codesyscontrol start running.
    I tried without an external watchdog and the service is exited instead of running, logs below :

    ● codesyscontrol.service - LSB: Prepares and starts codesyscrontol
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/codesyscontrol)
    Active: active (running) since Sat 2017-10-28 08:17:06 UTC; 2h 5min ago
    Process: 510 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/codesyscontrol start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
    CGroup: /system.slice/codesyscontrol.service
    β”œβ”€650 /usr/bin/codesyscontrol.bin
    └─656 /usr/bin/codesyscontrol.bin

    ● codesyscontrol.service - LSB: Prepares and starts codesyscrontol
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/codesyscontrol)
    Active: active (exited) since Sat 2017-10-28 08:17:06 UTC; 2h 5min ago
    Process: 510 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/codesyscontrol start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

    I though it was codesyscontrol without licence rebooting every 2h.
    Is there something special to do at the licence installation? I followed the same steps as this youtube video : /watch?v=eTr9oO9OAy8

    Hi,

    -SD are installed by binary copies of another one
    If you copy a licensed CODESYS sd Card,
    the steps are to activate the "new" license
    -> remove the content of cmact_license
    -> restart plc
    -> activte the new license

    If you do not follow these steps- you'll have a broken license conatiner from the original Pi
    sure you could activate a license to the new empty Container - but the license from first Pi stay there and will influcense
    the license requests in that way.

    Okay, I tried what you said and that was the issue.
    Everything works fine now.

    Big thanks Edwin!
