SINUMERIK 840Di sl Manual (HBIsl) – 01/2007 Edition
License management with the Automation License Manager is described in a
separate section: Section 17, Page 17-477.
To use SINUMERIK 840Di sl system software and the enabled options, the cor-
responding software licenses must be assigned to the SINUMERIK 840Di sl
hardware. During the assignment procedure, you will be given a license key for
each piece of software (system software or options) which electronically links
the respective software to the hardware.
You can also activate options without the license keys and use them for test
purposes. The control will then cyclically display a reminder/alarm that a license
has not yet been registered for the option.
The procedure for ordering through to entering the license key of an option is as
follows:
1. Order and purchase of the relevant license packages and/or single licenses:
Order catalog: NC 61
2. Activate the options SinuCom NC
3. Obtain the license key for the required control: Web License Manager by
Internet connection to the SINUMERIK 840Di sl or external PG/PC via
