Authorizations are installed in the <LW>:AX NF ZZ directory.

Depending on the employed channel, the following authorization must be stored there:

This authorization must be installed in all computers that communicate with an AS.

If the installed channel and the authorization are not compatible with each other, a box appears during runtime that states this incompatibility. The License.log file in the <LW>:\Siemens\WinCC\Diagnose directory tells you which license is required for the installed channel.

3.7.1Upgrade from WinCC/TM, V1.0x, to PCS7/TM, V2.0x

For this upgrade we offer the Upgrade package V2.0.

Changing from PCS7/TM, V2.00 to V2.01, or V2.01 to V2.02 the TM licences are not affected.

Important note:

Upon the migration from version V1.0x ... V1.05 to version V2.0 you will irrevocably lose the authorization for the previous version.

We recommend to perform the migration of the authorization prior to the installation of PCS7/TM. The migration requires the following preconditions to be fulfilled:

You possess a single license or a copy license for WinCC/TM; V1.0x on an authorization floppy disk or in your computer.

You have purchased an upgrade license to PCS7/TM V2.0 (referred to as "authorization upgrade" in the text below).

To upgrade the software from version V1.0x, use the following procedure:

1.The "old authorization" must be on the associated "old authorization floppy disk”. If necessary, you must first transfer this authorization from your computer onto the "old authorization floppy disk".

2.Insert the "authorization floppy disk - upgrade” and invoke the "AuthorsW" program via the start bar under Simatic > AuthorsW. If "AuthorsW" has not been installed in your computer, you must carry out the installa- tion from the CD ("Setup.exe" in the Authors / Disk 1 directory). The "Extras" menu contains a menu item "Upgrading guideline”. This guideline can support you during upgrading.

3.Select the "Authorization management" tab. Select the menu item "Upgrading..." from the "Authorization” menu.

4.Select the upgrade program from the dialog that is opened subsequently. You will then be prompted to insert the authorization floppy disk of the old authorization (V1.0x). Please follow the instructions on the screen and insert the "Authorization floppy disk - upgrade" when you are prompted to do so.

5.Upgrading will be terminated when the new authorization V2.0 is activated on the "Authorization floppy disk - upgrade".

6.The new authorization can now be transferred to your computer during the setup or using "AuthorsW”.
