Temporary
enabling of an
option
You have the possibility of enabling software options with a temporary code
number for a limited time. You can define a time between 10 to 90 days for
enabling the software options. However, each option can only be enabled
once with a temporary code number.
If you want to enable a software option temporarily on the control via the
temporary key, proceed in the same way as for the standard enabling of
software options. Press the Set Option button or the SET OPTION soft key.
This opens a window in which you can enter the code number for the desired
software option in Enter Key Code.
If the software option was enabled successfully, the expiration date of the
temporary enabling is shown in the Expires column under SIK Options. After
the defined period has expired, the entry in the Expires column will change to
EXP, meaning "expired." The software option is then no longer available.
A software option can be enabled for an unlimited period at any time by means
of the code number, which you will receive from HEIDENHAIN after stating
the SIK number.
HEIDENHAIN would like to point out that it is not possible to use the OEM-
specific options with the SIKs of the first generation. If you encounter any
problems in this respect, please contact your HEIDENHAIN service agency.
You can generate the temporary code number with the TNCOEMOption tool
for PCs. The tool is available for cost-free download from our HEIDENHAIN
FileBase.
When you generate the code number, you must specify the number of the
respective software option, the number of days you want to enable the option,
and an optional OEM Key. The OEM Key provides protection against
unauthorized persons generating code numbers for your machines with the
help of the PC tool in order to enable software options without your approval.
However, it is not essential to specify an OEM Key.
The OEM Key for generating the code number must be identical to the OEM
Key on your control.
