Installing S7-Graph - Siemens SIMATIC S7-GRAPH Manual

Installation and Authorization
• The folder must not be moved. Files copied from the folder (authorizations) are
detected as invalid authorizations and cannot be used.
If you do not keep to these rules, the authorization will be irretrievably lost.
The protected folder "AX NF ZZ" is created only once per drive. It contains all the
authorizations installed on the drive. It is created when you first install an
authorization and is deleted when you remove the last authorization from it.
For each authorization, two files with the same name but with different extensions
are created. These files are given the authorization name as the file name.
Number of Authorizations
You can install any number of authorizations on one drive providing there is
enough space; however, only one of each version (for example only one
S7-Graph V4.x and only one S7-Graph V5.x). These authorizations do not affect
each other.
Defective Authorization
Defective authorizations on a hard disk can no longer be removed with the
AuthorsW authorization tool. They can even block the installation of new, valid
authorizations. In this case, contact your Siemens distributor or sales office.
Authorization Tool
Use version V2.0 of the AuthorsW authorization tool and where possible avoid
using older versions.
Note
Since V2.0 does not recognize all older authorizations, you may nevertheless need
to use an older AUTHORS version (DOS version) < V3.x.
