Licensing The SIMOTION licensing procedure means that depending on the type and
number of RT components or technology objects uses in the project you may
need to purchase different licenses.
License Key The licenses required for a device are assigned to a License Key which is saved
on the RT system.
Underlicensing If no licenses or too few licenses are available to the RT system, there are no
restrictions in functionality, instead entries are made to the diagnostic buffer and
the red diagnostics LED of the RT system flashes.
Benefits • Support for license management.
• Costs for license management are cut.
• Detects the software options to be licensed (status tracking and analysis).
• Displays the licensed software options (license analysis).
• Information function for missing licenses.
• All functions are available for test purposes without licenses

License Database All attributed serial numbers of the MMC for C230-2, IsoProfibusBoard for P350
and CF for D435 are entered in a license database. In addition all the delivery
notes and associated licenses are stored there.
License Key The customer can access the database via the Internet. After entering the
delivery note number and license, a license key is provided which is transferred
to the control.

Determining Required Licenses

Project Creation At installation all the technology packages become available to the user. No
licenses or additional software packages are required for project creation. The
user has access to all functions.
Start-Up After creating the project, SCOUT can be used to query which and how many
licenses are required for the CPU. If the project is transferred to the control, the
license information can determine which licenses are present on the control and
whether underlicensing is occurring. If this is the case, the runtime system
signals "Operation without License Key".
Underlicensing The system will operate without loss of functionality. With underlicensing an
entry is made to the diagnostic buffers and the red diagnostics LED of the RT
system flashes.

Application Example The machine consists of one master axis and two slave axes which are coupled
to the master axis via angle synchronization.
The following licenses are required:
Master axis: The master axis requires a license for a positioning axis
Slave axis: Each of the slave axes requires a license for a following axis

Ordering The appropriate licenses must be ordered to carry out the licensing procedure.
The Catalog contains the different licenses together with their order numbers.
The customer orders the required number of licenses and is given a CoL
(Certificate of License) for each license. This CoL is stored with the machine
papers.

Licensing In addition to the Certificates of License, for licensing you also need the serial
number. The serial number is saved.
• With C230-2 on the MMC
• With P350 on the IsoProfibus Board
• With D4x5 on the compact flash card
The serial number can be read out with SCOUT or read from the card.
License Key SCOUT will take you to the Internet page
• [Link]
where the licensing is carried out.
After entering the CoL and serial number, the customer is given a license key.
This number is then transferred to the respective hardware with SCOUT.
Benefits • No diskettes required
• Only one license key for each device
• Always available everywhere via Internet, telephone, fax

Several CPUs The license key always relates to one RT system only. If you want to license
several controls, you need to order the corresponding number of CoL, determine
the serial numbers and generate a separate license key for each control via the
Internet.

Hardware If the control is faulty, e.g. the hard disk of the P350, you can replace the
Replacement module. Then the card where the license is saved is inserted again and is fully
operable again, including the license information.
Defective License If the MMC with C230, IsoPROFIBUS Board with P350 or the compact flash
Hardware card with D4x5 is defective and needs to be replaced, the license key is missing,
i.e. the error LED is flashing and an error message is entered in the diagnostic
buffer.
Note the serial number both of the defective and new hardware and contact the
SIMOTION Customer Support. They will give you the license key.
