You install the required SIMATIC BATCH software package on the appropriate PCs depending
on the type of system you have. The accompanying authorizations are required to use the
BATCH software packages. The acquired authorizations are managed with the Automation
License Manager.
The SIMATIC BATCH COM API package is an optional package for SIMATIC BATCH. It
provides you with an interface for accessing SIMATIC BATCH data and initiating actions with
function calls. If authorization is not available, you still have read access to the data. With
authorization, you also have write access to the data.

3.9.2 SIMATIC BATCH Basic
Authorization characteristics of SIMATIC BATCH Basic
SIMATIC BATCH Basic requires no separate installation. A BATCH client that checks the
authorizations on a BATCH server to distinguish SIMATIC BATCH and SIMATIC BATCH
Basic. The scope of functions for BATCH clients depends on the authorizations transferred to
the BATCH server. BATCH clients are, for example, instances of BatchCC, BATCH OS
controls or API clients.
If a BATCH server contains both the authorization for SIMATIC BATCH and SIMATIC BATCH
Basic, the higher authorization is used with full functionality.
Functional scope of SIMATIC BATCH Basic
The following functions are not available or only available in restricted form in SIMATIC BATCH
Basic:
● The "Libraries" and "Formulas" folders are not displayed in the project tree of BatchCC.
The libraries and formulas can therefore not be used.
If you import a system backup containing libraries or formulas, the two folders and the
objects they contain are shown in BatchCC. In this case, the library or formula can be
released, but not the recipe that uses the library or formula.
● No "Synchronization" tab in the properties dialog for recipe engineering. This means the
connection to MES (MES_Sync_Request) cannot be configured or used.
