The Mervis system is divided into the engineering environment (IDE) and the runtime software (RT) that executes logic on the controller.

  * **Mervis RT**: The runtime software running on the PLC/controller is **always a licensed and paid product**.

    * **Bundled Licenses**: For certain hardware (e.g., **Unipi**), the Mervis RT license is often already **included in the hardware price**.
    * **Standalone Licenses**: For other platforms or custom installations, licenses must be purchased from Energocentrum.
