SINUMERIK License Key

Basic information on License Keys
If a license is required for a product, then with the purchase of the license the purchaser
receives a CoL as proof for the rights to use this product and a corresponding License Key
as to the "technical representative" of this license. In conjunction with software products, the
License Key usually must be available on the hardware on which the software product
executed.
SINUMERIK License Keys
Depending on the software product, there are License Keys with different technical
properties. The essential properties of a SINUMERIK License Key are:
• Hardware reference
• Total number of assigned licenses
Copying SINUMERIK License Keys
By the fixed reference to certain hardware, a SINUMERIK License Key may, for example, be
copied to various computers (PC/PG) and/or memory media for security or archiving
purposes.

The hardware serial number included in the SINUMERIK License Key provides a direct
link between the License Key and the hardware on which it can be used. In other words,
a License Key created for the hardware serial number of a specific CF card is only valid
for this CF card and will be rejected on other CF cards as invalid.
A SINUMERIK License Key not only refers to one single license, instead it is the
"technical representative" of all licenses that are assigned to the hardware at the time of
its generation.
