4.3.9 License management
Introduction
A process for managing evidence of the existing licenses should be defined for all stages in
the lifecycle of a PCS 7 plant. This management should cover all the licenses used in a plant.
The following points must be taken into account:
● Storage location
● Person responsible
● Access
● Procedure in the event of loss or fault with a license
The serial number of each individual license should be listed in addition to the description and
article number so that the license documents can be clearly matched with the licenses that
are installed.
Use a defined station, e.g. the ES, in order to manage all license packages ordered centrally
with the "Automation License Manager" program.
Procedure
1. Open the Automation License Manager on a PC station. Access protection is switched off
as standard.
2. Connect all computers permanently via the "Connect computers" function.
3. Transfer all required license packages from the license disk or the license USB stick from
PCS 7 V7.1 to the partitions provided for this.
