A detailed description of how to establish TCP/IP communication with the con-
trol system is given in Section 17.3.4, Page 17-490.
A PTP link (Peer–To–Peer) via Ethernet and TCP/IP requires a crossed Ether-
net cable (twisted pair crossed 10baseT/100baseTX Ethernet cable).
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 Automa-
tion License Manager and select the control system (online).
2. Create the control image (offline) using menu command: License Key >
Upload from target system
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) al-
ready exists in the ”online” control system file, the image is overwritten with the
current license information.
17.3.8 Performing a license requirement alignment for a piece of hardware
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 in-
cluding the License Key is transferred to the hardware.
Via the function: ”Align requirement” you can perform the alignment automati-
cally for all required licenses based on the control system (online) or a control
image (offline). The following actions are performed:
S Determining the hardware serial number for the control system
S Determining the license requirement for the control system
S Taking the required licenses from the customer–specific licenses and as-
signing these to the hardware
S Transferring the updated license information including License Key to the
control system (online) or the control image (offline)
