SINUMERIK 840Di sl Manual (HBIsl) – 01/2007 Edition
The MCI board thus represents the identity of a SINUMERIK control system.
For this reason, assigning licenses to a control system always occurs using the
hardware serial number.
This has the advantage that the MCI board can be slotted into a replacement
PCU in the event of failure and all data, including licensing information, are re-
tained.
Thus, the hardware serial number is always decisive during the transfer of li-
cense information to a control system in Automation License Manager and not
the set IP address of the control system with which Automation License Man-
ager is currently communicating.
The hardware serial number is a permanent part of the MCI board. It is used to
identify a control system uniquely. The hardware serial number can be deter-
mined by:
S CoL (Certificate of License) (see note)
S SINUMERIK user interfaces: HMI Advanced or HMI Embedded
S SINUMERIK Commissioning tool: SinuCom NC
S Inscription on the MCI board
S Automation License Manager: Control system file data
– Control system (online)
– Control image (offline)
Note
S Hardware serial number and CoL
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.
S SINUMERIK 840Di sl
On the SINUMERIK 840Di sl the MCI board is used to save data and print
the hardware serial number.
17.1.7 SINUMERIK License Key
If a license is required for a product, then with the purchase of the license the
purchaser receives a CoL as proof of the rights to use this product and a corre-
sponding License Key as the ”technical representative” of this license. In con-
junction with software products, the License Key usually must be available on
the hardware on which the software product executed.
