Licensing

Post by Nikolay »

Dear colleagues. We have a license in the form of a usb key and file. We need to have the component "update" = 2. Now the "update" = 0. Tell me, is it possible to buy the missing components? Or now the entire license to buy again?

It is possible to change the options in an existing shield file by generating a new license. You cannot change the options on your own. The license will become invalid if you make changes in the file.

If a license has update = 0 and you want to use the same license for a newer version there are 2 possibilities:
-- Doing an upgrade for the new version by changing the "version" keyword
-- Modifying the license with update > 0

Please get in contact with your common WinCC OA sales contact to clarify how an upgrade of the existing license can be done and what the costs are.

Best Regards
