License Key.
17.3.9 Transferring license information for a control image (offline) to a control system
(online)
Background
It is essential to transfer the license information for a control image (offline) to a control
system (online), i.e. the hardware for a SINUMERIK control, for the following reasons:
● The control system (online) is not connected to the Internet, e.g. for security reasons.
License information is initially only updated based on a control image (offline). The
computer on which the Automation License Manager is running is then disconnected from
the Internet and connected to the relevant SINUMERIK control system to transfer the
license information.
● After a service call, the license information should be transferred from an archive file to a
SINUMERIK control system.
Requirements
To transfer license information for a control image (offline) to a control system (online) the
following requirements must be met:
● The Automation License Manager must be communicating with the control system.
A detailed description of how to define parameters for TCP/IP communication with a
control system is given in Subsection
"Parameterize TCP/IP communication with a control
system" (Page
577).
● The hardware serial number of the control image (offline) and the control system (online)
must be identical.
