14.9.2 Installing the Automation License Manager
Background
The following components need to be installed for the license management of SINUMERIK
solution line License Keys:
• Automation License Manager
The Automation License Manager is loaded by the installation routine only if no manager
or a manager version with a lower version number is installed on the computer (PC/PG).
• SINUMERIK plug-in
The SINUMERIK plug-in is loaded by the installation routine only if it finds a version of the
Automation License Manager installed on the computer (PC/PG).
• HMI basic software
The HMI basic software is loaded by the installation routine only if no HMI software or a
version with a lower number is installed on the computer (PC/PG).
Note
The Automation License Manager is used for all Siemens A&D products, e.g. SIMATIC
STEP7. As versions of the Automation License Manager are upwards compatible, we
always recommend using the version with the highest version number, irrespective of the
source of supply (e.g. SINUMERIK or SIMATIC product CD, download via A&D Mall,
etc.).
