the open file MMC.INI.
4. Copy the [
AddressParameter
] section from the table given above: "User-specific file:

control systems.
5. For all [
AddressParameter

6. In all [
AddressParameter
] sections replace the string: "IP-Address" with the relevant IP
address for the corresponding SINUMERIK control system.

" with the section name
for the SINUMERIK control system with which the Automation License Manager must
communicate after booting. (See note "Changing the IP address" above.)
Procedure: Changing the active control system (online)
Perform the following actions to change the active control system (online), i.e. the
SINUMERIK control system with which the Automation License Manager communicates:
1. Close the Automation License Manager.
(See note "Changing the IP address" above.)
2. Open the file: <installation drive>:\Siemens\Sinumerik\HMI-Advanced\user\MMC.INI with
a text editor.

Result
After booting the Automation License Manager communicates with the SINUMERIK control
system defined in the user-specific communication parameters.
The control system to which you have switched is represented by an "online" control system
file in the navigation area of the Automation License Manager.
The control system to which the Automation License Manager was connected before
switching is represented by an "offline" control system file, if a control image (offline) exists.
