Without a full BACnet client license or a 60-day evaluation license, the BACnet driver will only operate for 30 minutes. After that, all operations will timeout until the Windows service is restarted.
Below are the steps to activate a one-time 60 day license from the BACnet driver manufacturer.
Note: Events2HVAC comes with a demo 10 room license for initial testing. If you are testing a 60 day trial, you should request and install the 60-day trial license for Events2HVAC prior to activating the BACnet evaluation code. The process below embeds the BACnet code in the current Events2HVAC license file.
Go to Devices > BACnet > Options.
Hit the “Get Evaluation Code” button.
This will request a 60-day evaluation license from the manufacturer of the BACnet driver. (Note: this is not generated by Streamside Solutions; after this license expires a full license for the BACnet driver must be purchased to continue). You must have an internet connection for this to work.

Answer Yes to embed the key in the current Event2HVAC license file.
Go to Tools > Options and select the Command Queue tab.
Click the Stop button and wait for the service to
stop, then click the Start button.
This restarts the
Events2HVAC Windows service and enables the new trial license.
In the Registration tab, the BACnet driver should now appear as registered.
