– Intranet or PTP link to control system: Transferring license information from the control
image (offline) to the control system (online) in the Automation License Manager
• The license information for a control system should be saved as an archive file for the
purpose of archiving or customer support.
Requirements
A control image (offline) can only be created if the Automation License Manager is
communicating with the control system.
A PTP link (Peer-To-Peer) via Ethernet and TCP/IP requires a crossed Ethernet cable
(twisted pair crossed 10baseT/100baseTX Ethernet cable).
Procedure using menu command: "Upload from target system"
Perform the following actions to create a control image (offline) using menu command:
"Upload from target system":
1. Open the "online" control system file in the navigation area of the Automation License
Manager and select the control system (online).
2. Create the control image (offline) using menu command: License Key > Upload from
target system
Result
The control image (offline) is displayed in the "online" control system file with the current
license information for the control system. If a control image (offline) already exists in the
"online" control system file, the image is overwritten with the current license information.
14.9.8 Performing a license requirement alignment for a piece of hardware
Background
If one or more options are active on a SINUMERIK control system, you must assign each
license to the hardware. Next, the updated license information including the License Key is
transferred to the hardware.
Via the function: "Align requirement" you can perform the alignment automatically for all
required licenses based on the control system (online) or a control image (offline). The
following actions are performed:
• Determining the hardware serial number for the control system
• Determining the license requirement for the control system
• Taking the required licenses from the customer-specific licenses and assigning these to
the hardware
• Transferring the updated license information including License Key to the control system
(online) or the control image (offline)
