17.3.9 Transferring license information for a control image (offline) to a
control system (online)
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 fol-
lowing reasons:
S 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.
S After a service call, the license information should be transferred from an
archive file to a SINUMERIK control system.
To transfer license information for a control image (offline) to a control system
(online) the following requirements must be met:
S The Automation License Manager must communicate with the control
system.
A detailed description of how to establish TCP/IP communication with the
control is given in Section 17.3.4, Page 17-490.
S The hardware serial number of the control image (offline) and the control
system (online) must be identical.
Perform the following actions to transfer a control image (offline) to the hardware
using drag and drop:
1. Open the ”online” control system file in the navigation area of the Automa-
tion License Manager and select the control image (offline).
2. Select any line from the license information displayed in the object area.
3. Drag the selected line to the control system (online) release the mouse key.
Perform the following actions to transfer a control image (offline) to the hardware
using menu command: ”Download to target system”:
1. Open the ”online” control system file in the navigation area of the Automa-
tion License Manager and select the control image (offline).
2. To transfer the control image (offline) to the hardware, select menu com-
mand: License Key > Download to target system
The license information for the hardware is now identical to the information for
the control image (offline), including the License Key.
