Upgrading The Authorization - Siemens SIMATIC S7-GRAPH Manual

Installing the Authorization Later
If you start the S7-Graph software and there is no authorization on your system, a
message to this effect is displayed. To install the authorization at a later point in
time:
1. insert the authorization diskette in your floppy disk drive, for example, drive A.
2. Start the "Authorsw.exe" program on the hard disk drive.
3. Select drive A:\. The authorizations on the authorization diskette are displayed.
4. Select the full authorization for S7-Graph (validity: unlimited).
5. Holding down the left mouse button, drag the selected authorization to the
destination drive. The authorization is transferred to the destination drive.
Note
The authorization is effective in Windows NT only when full access to both hard
disk "C:" and the source floppy drive is possible.
Recovering the Authorization
If you have a problem with your authorization (defective etc.), please contact the
hotline. If a problem occurs, it may be possible to avoid loss of the authorization
using the menu command Authorization > Recover.

Upgrading the Authorization

Use the "Upgrade" menu command to upgrade authorizations. To use this function,
you require:
• The authorization diskette of the authorization you want to upgrade
• The "AuthorsW authorization program, version 2.0" on hard disk
• The new S7-Graph upgrade on diskette
• The old authorization on diskette or hard disk
When you upgrade, the old authorizations are deleted and replaced by new ones.
For this reason, the authorization diskette must never be made read-only.
1. Insert the new authorization diskette.
2. Start the "Authorsw.exe" program on the hard disk drive.
3. Select the menu command Authorization > Upgrade. A dialog box is opened
in which you can select the upgrade program. You will then be asked to insert
the authorization diskette of the old authorization.
