7. Enter the order number ( License Id ) for the license to be activated and optionally a separate order
number ( Customer Id ), plus an optional comment for your own purposes ( Comment ). If you do not
know your Beckhoff order number, please contact your Beckhoff sales contact.
8. Click the Generate File ... button to create a License Request File for the listed missing license.
ð A window opens, in which you can specify where the License Request File is to be stored. (We
recommend accepting the default settings.)

A prompt appears asking whether you want to send the License Request File to the Beckhoff license
server for verification:
• Click Yes to send the License Request File. A prerequisite is that an email program is installed on your
computer and that your computer is connected to the internet. When you click Yes , the system
automatically generates a draft email containing the License Request File with all the necessary
information.
• Click No if your computer does not have an email program installed on it or is not connected to the
internet. Copy the License Request File onto a data storage device (e.g. a USB stick) and send the file
from a computer with internet access and an email program to the Beckhoff license server
(tclicense@beckhoff.com) by email.
10. Send the License Request File.
ð
The License Request File is sent to the Beckhoff license server. After receiving the email, the server
compares your license request with the specified order number and returns a License Response File
by email. The Beckhoff license server returns the License Response File to the same email address
from which the License Request File was sent. The License Response File differs from the License
Request File only by a signature that documents the validity of the license file content. You can view
the contents of the License Response File with an editor suitable for XML files (e.g. “XML Notepad”).
The contents of the License Response File must not be changed, otherwise the license file becomes
invalid.
11. Save the License Response File.
