How to View Permit Status

Permits are used to control the right to use a chart in the chart radar. A permit is con-
nected to the edition of a chart. Permits are issued in two different types:
• Subscription permit: This type of permit includes updates for subsequent 3, 6, 9
or 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 chart. The system 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, except C-MAP charts that have
viewing periods which end two months after the expiry date of the license. If the charts
are not updated regularly it will not complete the requirements for having up-to-date
charts. To view the permit status of a chart, click the [License] button on the Instan-
tAccess bar and then click applicable "chart" tab, among ENC, C-MAP and C-MAP
DL. The example below shows the status of ENC charts.
The expiration date of each cell appears in the [Expires] window and subscription sta-
tus is indicated in the [Subscription] window, as [Yes] or [No].
Subscription warnings for RENC
If you have at least one subscription-type permit, the system will automatically warn
you about the expiration date of your subscription license, in the Permanent warning
box.
Note: If you change service provider for some reason, it is recommended that you
remove all the charts from the chart radar before loading new charts of new service
provider.
