Copy protection
Application
Copy protection allows you to link the program or the blocks to a specific SIMATIC memory
card or CPU. By linking this program or block to the serial number of a SIMATIC memory
card or a CPU, you allow its use only in combination with this specific SIMATIC memory card
or CPU.
Copy and know-how protection
Recommendation: to prevent unauthorized reset of copy protection, additionally apply
know-how protection to a copy-protected block. To do this, first set up copy protection and
then apply know-how protection for the block.
Setting up copy protection
To set up copy protection, follow these steps:
1.
Open the properties of the block in question.
2.
Select the "Protection" option under "General".
