Do event tags count against the Historian tag license?

Event tags are designed to capture specific occurrences or signals in a system without continuously contributing to data storage, which differentiates them from standard historical data tags. In the context of the AVEVA Historian, event tags are typically considered separate from the traditional tag licenses because they do not accumulate data in the same way that other tags do.

When using the Historian, the licensing model primarily focuses on the number of data entries or continuous data streams that contribute to data storage and retrieval. Since event tags do not continuously record data, they do not impact the licensing count based on the standard tags intended for continuous monitoring and data collection.

This understanding highlights the distinction between the types of tags and how they influence licensing, affirming that only the primary historical tags used for data logging contribute against the license quota.
