PC dependent key: this key activates the license only on the PC on which the ETS
license has been installed.
PC independent key: this key does not refer to the PC hardware, but refers to a
“dongle” which also has to be ordered from KNX Association. This dongle must be
inserted in the USB port of the computer. This type of key is a little bit more expensive

ETS also allows distant configuration or maintenance of installations (via Internet, called
iETS)

Since the introduction of ETS 4.1 it is possible to extend the functionality of ETS via
programs called “Apps”. These Apps are also available in the KNX Online Shop and they
are licensed in the same way as described before. Some Apps are developed by KNX
Association, others by KNX manufacturers. Examples of such Apps are: online product
catalog, graphical configuration of ETS projects, Project compare, Replace product…. For
some of these apps a fee needs to be paid.

In order to prepare yourself for a future KNX basic course and to get acquainted with ETS,
you can sign up for the ETS eCampus. This is free of charge and you only need to
register yourself in the Online Shop.
