Automation License Manager
To use the programming software, you need a product-specific license key (usage
authorization), which is installed using the Automation License Manager.
The Automation License Manager is a software product developed by Siemens AG that is
used to manage license keys (technical representation of licenses) on a system-wide basis.
The Automation License Manager is available:
● On the product CDs of MSS ES
● As a download on the Internet pages for A&D Customer Support at Siemens AG.
The Automation License Manager features an online help function that you can use to call up
context-specific information via the F1 key, or via "Help" > "Help on License Manager". This
help function contains detailed information about how to use the Automation License
Manager and the functions it offers.
License keys
The license key acts as the technical representation of a license (electronic license stamp).
SIEMENS AG issues a license key for all license-protected software. The software can only
be used in accordance with the license and usage conditions associated with the license key
once the system has established that a valid license key has been installed on the computer
when the software is launched.
License keys can be stored as follows and transferred from one storage medium to another:
● On license key data carriers
● On local hard disks
● On the hard disks of computers in the network
For more information about using license keys, please refer to the online help for the
Automation License Manager.
Note
• MSS ES cannot be used without a license key.
• To familiarize yourself with the operator interface and the range of functions, you can
activate one Trial License, allowing you to work with the system for 14 days. Following
this period, you must acquire a valid license. Otherwise you cannot continue to work with
MSS ES.
