Basic license types and license types
The following basic license types and license types are differentiated. The software behaves
differently for different types.
Basic license types
Description
Single
Standard license with no time restrictions; you can transfer it to any computer and only use it locally
there. The type of use is determined from the Certificate of License (CoL).
Licenses of the type "Single" can be upgraded and identified with "SISL" in the license key.
Floating
License with no time restrictions; you can transfer it to any computer and use it there.
You can also obtain the license from a license server over the network.
If a WinCC RC license is present locally and remotely, WinCC always uses the local license.
Read the installation notes of the Information Server to learn about about particular features related
to the archive licenses for the SIMATIC Information Server.
If the "floating" license is purchased via the network, you must also note the following points:
● The Automation License Manager must be installed on the license server.
● The license can only be used for configuration.
● A WinCC RT or RC license must be available locally on the computer for Runtime.
● After disconnection, the program is restarted only after three hours in demo mode.
● The first free license on the license server is assigned.
You must therefore ensure that sufficient licenses of the "floating" type are available on the
license server which license at least the number of tags required in the project. Otherwise, the
requesting computer would be switched to demo mode.
Example: The WinCC RC (65536) and WinCC RC (128) licenses are located on the license
server.
If the Automation License Manager uses the smaller license, only 128 tags are licensed. The
license for 65 536 tags is not taken into consideration in this case.
Licenses of the "Floating" type can be upgraded and identified with "SIFL" in the license key.
PowerPack Upgrade
This license is used to increase the number of PowerTags.
Licenses of the "PowerPack Upgrade" type are identified with "SIPP" in the license key.
Upgrade
This license is used to convert the current software version to a more recent version.
Depending on the upgrade package, you can also upgrade several licenses.
Licenses of the "Upgrade" type are identified with "SIUP" in the license key.
