Authorization
2.1 Authorization
A product authorization is required to use the S7-Graph software package.
Software protected by this mechanism can only be used when the authorization
required by the program or software package is detected on the hard disk of the
programming device.
Different authorizations are necessary, for example for STEP 7 and for the optional
packages.
Authorization Diskette
To authorize the product, you require the copy-protected authorization diskette
shipped with the package. This contains the actual authorization. The "AuthorsW"
program required to display, install, and uninstall the authorization is on the same
CD-ROM as S7-Graph V5.0.
Number of Authorizations
The number of possible authorizations is determined by an authorization counter
on the authorization diskette. When you install an authorization, the counter is
decremented by 1. Once the counter reaches the value 0, there are no more
authorizations on the diskette.
Note
You receive a yellow authorization diskette for the STEP 7 standard software with a
corresponding authorization. You do not need an authorization for STEP 7 Mini.
With each optional software package, you receive a red authorization diskette
containing one authorization.
Note
Note the information in the README.WRI file and the rules below in "Rules for
Handling Authorizations". If you do not keep to the instructions in this file, you may
destroy the authorization.
