Term Description
Hardware serial number The hardware serial number is a permanent part of the MCI board. It is used to identify a
control system uniquely. The hardware serial number can be determined by:
• CoL (see: Certificate of License "Note")
•
SINUMERIK user interfaces: HMI Advanced or HMI Embedded
•
SINUMERIK Commissioning tool: SinuCom NC
•
Automation License Manager
• Inscription on the MCI board
License key The License Key is the "technical representative" of the sum of all the licenses that are
assigned to one particular piece of hardware, which is uniquely marked by its hardware serial
number.
Option One option is a SINUMERIK software product that is not contained in the basic version and
which requires the purchase of a license for its use.
Product A product is marked by the data below within the license management of SINUMERIK
software products:
• Product name
•
Order Number
•
license number
17.1.2 Overview
The use of the installed system software and the options activated on a SINUMERIK control
system require that the licenses purchased for this purpose are assigned to the hardware. In
the course of this assignment, a License Key is generated from the license numbers of the
system software, the options, as well as the hardware serial number. Here, access occurs to
a license database administered by Siemens A&D via the Internet. Finally, the license
information including the License Key is transferred to the hardware.
There are two ways to access the license database:
●
Web License Manager
● Automation License Manager
Note
Using SINUMERIK software products for testing purposes
SINUMERIK software products may be temporarily activated and used for testing
purposes on a SINUMERIK control system, even without the corresponding License Key.
On the SINUMERIK user interface, e.g. HMI Advanced, the License Key is then displayed
as "not sufficient" in the "Overview" dialog box. Also the control system will repeatedly
display a corresponding message.
