How to manage permits from an RENC

Permits are used to control the right to use a chart in the ECDIS. A permit in an RENC ENC service is connected to
the edition of a chart. Permits are issued in two different types:
• Subscription permit: This type of permit includes updates for subsequent 12 months.
• One-Off permit: This type of permit includes only updates up to the issue date of the permit.
The expiry date of a permit controls the loading of Base charts and their updates to the ECDIS. The ECDIS will
warn you when you are loading charts or updates that are issued less than 30 days before the expiration date of a
permit. If a permit has expired, it is impossible to load a chart or its update that was issued after the expiration date
of the permit. The user has a right to view a chart forever, but it will not complete the requirements for having up-to-
date charts. To view the Chart Permits window, open the Chart menu and select Chart Permits.
Description of the chart permits window
1. Public Key lets you view a public key or load a new one.
2 Load File enables downloading from an RENC when you receive permits from that RENC.
3. Backup makes a back-up copy of permits.
4. The Edt (Edition) field displays edition number of a chart to which the permit is valid. Note that when a new
edition of a chart is issued a new permit is required. It is possible to have permits for different editions of the
same chart.
5. The Type column shows type of permit held for a chart: S, Subscription or O, One-off.
6. The Expires column shows the expiration date of permits. All subscription-type permits will expire on the same
date.
