Siemens SIMATIC HMI series System Manual

The following applies for the counting of the licenses for the archive:
● The tags for the process value archives are counted individually. The number of tags is
checked in Runtime.
●
The tags for the compressed archives are not included in the license count.
● WinCC User Archive requires a license only for Runtime.
● A license to use 512 archive tags is included in the RT and RC licenses.
If you want to use more than 512 archive tags in Runtime, you have to upgrade the system
with archive licenses. The 512 archive tags are not cumulated.
● To upgrade archive licenses, you must install additional archive tags. You do not need
Powerpack for archive licenses.
Example: Cumulation of archive licenses
The table shows an example for gradual expansion of archive tags.

Avoiding errors when handling licenses
You have to remove all license keys on the hard disk before you:
● Use a hard disk optimization program that moves fixed blocks.
●
Format, compress or restore the hard disk.
● Install a new operating system on the computer.
It is not possible to use compressed hard disks or disk drives.
If a backup contains copies of the license keys, you run the risk that the existing valid license
keys are overwritten and therefore destroyed when you restore the backup files on the hard
disk.
If you lose a license key, you can try to restore this license again. You can find additional
information under: "Restoring license key".
