Depending on the software product, there are License Keys with different tech-
nical properties. The essential properties of a SINUMERIK License Key are:
S
Hardware reference
The hardware serial number included in the SINUMERIK License Key pro-
vides 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 MCI board is only valid for this MCI board and will be
rejected on other MCI board as invalid.
S
Total number of assigned licenses
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 hard-
ware at the time of its generation.
By the fixed reference to certain hardware, a SINUMERIK License Key may, for
example, be copied to various computers (PC/PG) and/or storage media for
security or archiving purposes.
