Overview - Siemens SINUMERIK 804D sl Commissioning Manual

14.2

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.
The license-information "Overview" dialog box on the SINUMERIK user interface, e.g.,
HMI Advanced, indicates that the License Key is "Insufficient". Also the control system
will repeatedly display a corresponding message.
