software is protected and can only be used in its full measure with a valid license.

WinCC. The licenses for optional packages must be ordered separately.
You will receive the necessary license keys for the installation of licenses as follows:

local drive and are unregistered on the storage medium.
Note
Furthermore, the licensee confirms that the software (SW) contains licensed software by
Microsoft Corporation or its subsidiaries. Thereby, licensee agrees to be bound by the terms
and conditions of the appended license agreement between Microsoft SQL Server and end
user, and to fulfill same.
