Managing 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 an edition of a chart.
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 operator 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 choose Chart Permits.
Description of the chart permits window
