Requirements and Installation

Requirements

  • WinCC OA version 3.17 or higher.
  • A valid ticket ID is required. It is sent via e-mail to you when purchasing a license.
    CAUTION: Save this ticket ID as you will need it in the future!
  • For how to activate a license, see chapter Activation and the other chapters of the WinCC OA WinCC OA Licensing.
    Note: WibuCM TMR Licenses are not supported!
    Note: Time limited licenses (e.g. development licenses) must not be used in an active plant.

    Furthermore, these must not be used together with a standard license in the same container.

    We recommend using a separate WIBU container per WinCC OA project.

  • For the description of the License information panel that can be used to activate, deactivate, update or re-host a license, see chapter Overview.

Installation

  • The necessary components for the WinCC OA Licensing are installed together with the WinCC OA version 3.17.

Host Maintenance

When a Software license container is used (see chapter WinCC OA Licensing) then the WinCC OA licenses must be deactivated before any change of the host takes place. This includes operating system or software updates, and any hardware changes. Details on how to activate a license - see Activation and deactivate a license - see Deactivation in the respective sections of the documentation.

Note: Virtual hardware such as VM or Docker containers also influence the software binding of a license.
