Licensing
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?

Re: Licensing
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.
