14.1 Import licensing terms
The terms below are important for understanding the license management of SINUMERIK
software products.
Term Description
Software product "Software product" is generally used to describe a product that is installed on a piece of
hardware to process data. Within the license management of SINUMERIK software products,
a corresponding license is required to use each software product.
Hardware In the context of license management of SINUMERIK software products, "hardware" refers to
the component of a SINUMERIK control system to which licenses are assigned on the basis
of its unique identifier. License information is also saved to remanent memory on this
component.
Example:
• SINUMERIK 840D sl: CF card
• SINUMERIK 840Di sl: MCI board
License A license gives the user a legal right to use the software product. Evidence of this right is
provided by the following:
• CoL (Certificate of License)
• License key
CoL
(Certificate of License)
The CoL is the proof of the license. The product may only be used by the holder of the
license or authorized persons. The CoL includes the following data relevant for the license
management:
• Product name
• License number
• Delivery note number
• Hardware serial number
Note
The hardware serial number is located only on a CoL of the system software or if the license
was ordered bundled, in other words the system software came together with options.
License number The license number is the feature of a license that is used for its unique identification.
CF Card
(Compact Flash Card)
The CF Card represents, as the carrier of all the remanent data of a SINUMERIK solution line
control system, the identity of this control system. The CF Card includes the following data
relevant for the license management:
• Hardware serial number
