7.2 Overview of the licensing
Introduction
When you purchase the WinCC Basic software package or a WinCC option you obtain license
keys in the following form:
● As storage medium with license keys
● Via the Internet (online software delivery)
During the installation of the licenses, the required license keys are copied to the hard disk of
the computer. The installed software is released for unrestricted use.
WinCC ASIA version
The same conditions apply when you use a WinCC ASIA version. You need a "License Key
USB Hardlock" (dongle).
For more information, refer to the WinCC installation notes under "Activating and testing ASIA
licenses".
Management of the license keys
The supplied program "Automation License Manager" is used to manage the license keys. It
allows you to transfer a license key at a later time.
You can also install the Automation License Manager at a later time by means of the WinCC
DVD and "Additional software" on a computer without WinCC, such as a license server.
Note
If you install the Automation License Manager as license server without WinCC, you also need
to customize the firewall settings. At least "File and Printer Release" must be enabled in the
firewall.
During first transmission of a license key, the Automation License Manager creates a directory
"AX NF ZZ" on the hard disk. The directory has the "system" and "hidden" properties and is
automatically deleted when the last license key is removed.
