Professional = All meters in the account have a Professional licence.
The meter with the lowest status in the account determines the overall account status. Mixed accounts are impossible and remain in Basic or Limited status if the number of licences is insufficient.
Calculate the needed amount of professional licenses
That your account state reaches the professional state you need an equal license for each installed counter.
It is impossible to have licensed counters and unlicensed counter within the same account.
Rule of thumb for ZEV and vZEV with uniform solar and/or battery tariff:
Number of meters = number of licenses
Rule of thumb for ZEV systems with different Solar- and Battery tariffs:
Association of self-consumption with 1x photovoltaic system: Number of meter + 1 (virtual)
Association of self-consumption with >1x photovoltaic system: Number of meter + 2 (virtual)
Example electrical energy with smart-me energy counters
(1x photvoltaic)
(1x photvoltaic)
3x Telstar 80A
2x Telstar CT
1x virtual counter (summ of loads)
Professional licenses All-Energy: 6 pcs
Example electrical energy with smart-me energy counters and heat / water with installed M-Bus gateway (1x photvoltaic)
3x Telstar 80A
2x Telstar CT
1x virtual counter (summ of loads)
Professional licenses All-Energy: 6 pcs
1x M-Bus gateway with connected heat / water counters
3x heat
3x cold
3x hot water
3x cold water
Professional licenses for heat/water/gas: 12 pcs
Total Professional licenses: 18 pcs
Hint: the smart-me M-Bus gateway itself does not need a license.
Licence fulfilment
The installation described above with mixed energy types can now be licenced in two ways..
Monthly subscriptioon
The installation requires 18 Professional licences.
These can be purchased for a monthly fee and cover all energy types at all times.
18x Monthly Professional Licence All energy types

Multi-year licence model
The installation requires 18 Professional licences in total.

12x professional licence heat / water / gas, 10 years
The multi-year licences are cheaper on average and are not subject to inflation or deflation effects during the period of use.
