28 Activating the NC Software Used on the Machine

28.1 Introduction

It can be helpful for servicing to activate the NC software used on the machine on the iTNC 530
if data of the SYS partition were lost.
For example:
By activating the NC software again, the data belonging to the software are extracted again.
It might thus be possible to restore destroyed files on the hard disk.
If a hard disk defect is suspected, carry out the corresponding tests (see "Hard Disk Test" on
page 15 – 233) or contact the machine manufacturer or a HEIDENHAIN service agency!
