Licensing issues
The SERIES 400 and 500 HMI devices usually have a Windows operating system pre-installed.
The corresponding license sticker is affixed on the back of the operator interface, next to the type
plate.
Please note that according to the license issued for Windows the application of these systems as
Office PC is not permitted.
Please also note the information on the licensing
stipulations for Windows operating systems contained in
the "TechNote Windows Operating Systems" file located
on the CD / DVD / USB stick which is part of the delivery.
11.2.2
Note on Windows Embedded operating systems
When using the Windows Embedded 7 operating system on the Panel PC SERIES 400 HMI
devices, the C:\ system drive can be protected from unauthorised writing (EWF).
This is not the case for other Windows operating systems!
R. STAHL HMI Systems GmbH recommends you leave the write
protection filter on at all times.
For further information on this write protection (EWF),
please refer to the OpenHMI_help_en.chm help file in the
"STAHL" folder on the HMI device or on the CD / DVD /
USB stick that is included in the delivery.
11.2.3
Windows® 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB operating system
The operating system is based on Windows 10 for PC platforms with 64 bit x86 processors. For
the LTSB (Long-Time-Service-Branch) versions, Microsoft guarantees 10 years of security
updates and new builds with feature updates only every 2-3 years, with these being optional. The
LTSB versions are ideal for industrial applications and feature additional security components
such as write filters (UWF) and HORM (start of a system snapshot from the RAM plus write
protection).
From 2016 LTSB onwards, Microsoft has tied its licensing model to the processor performance:
