Installation and Authorization
S7-GRAPH for S7 300/400 Programming Sequential Control Systems
2-8
C79000-G7076-C526-01
If you already have a version of S7-Graph installed ...
If the installation program detects an S7-Graph installation on your programming
device/PC, a message is displayed and you then have the following options:
•
Cancel the installation (you can then uninstall the old S7-Graph version under
Windows 95/98/NT and then start the new installation again) or
•
Continue the installation and overwrite the old version with the new version.
In the interests of "clean" data management, you should uninstall an older
installation before installing the new version. Simply overwriting an older version
also has the disadvantage that when you later uninstall the program, existing parts
of the older installation will not be removed.
Notes on Authorization
During the installation, the program checks whether an authorization already exists
on the hard disk. If no authorization is found, a message appears informing you
that the software can only be used with an authorization. You can either install the
authorization immediately or continue the installation and install the authorization
later. If you decide to install immediately, insert the authorization diskette when
prompted to.
Errors During Installation
The following errors lead to the installation being canceled:
•
If an initialization error occurs immediately after starting Setup, the most
probable reason is that
Setup was not started under Windows.
•
Not enough space on the disk: You must have enough space on your hard disk
for the type of installation you have selected (see readme).
•
Defective diskette: If you discover that a diskette is defective, please contact
your Siemens distributor or sales office.
•
If you make a mistake: Start the installation again and follow the instructions
carefully.
Completion of the installation ...
Successful installation is indicated by a message on the screen.
If changes were made to DOS files during installation, you will be prompted to
restart Windows. Following the restart, you can also start S7-Graph.
If DOS files were not changed, you can start S7-Graph in the last installation
dialog.
