How Do You Transfer Licenses?
2.1
Which Software Is Needed? You need the following software for handling License Keys and Authorizations.
The Automation License Manager (for License Keys and Authorizations).
AuthorsW (predecessor of the Automation License Manager, only for Authorizations).
As from WinCC flexible 2005, the new License Keys are used instead of the authorizations used previously. These License Keys are organized with the Automation License Manager. The Automation License Manager offers greater comfort than AuthorsW and ProSave and many new functions. Here is a summary of the individual utilities and how they are used. Table 2-1

Description of the individual software tools: Automation License Manager:
You can use the Automation License Manager to install or uninstall license keys for PC and Windows CE-based target devices.
You can use the Automation License Manager to install or uninstall authorizations for PC-based target devices.
Operator s (other than PC-based operator s) that are only ed as from WinCC flexible 2005, such as OP 177B, only License Keys and can therefore only be transferred with the Automation License Manager.
You cannot use the Automation License Manager to transfer authorizations to Windows CE-based target devices. That is only possible with ProSave.

2 How Do You Transfer Licenses?
ProSave:
You can use ProSave to transfer existing authorizations to Windows CE-based target devices and from the operator back to the authorization disk.
You cannot use ProSave to transfer License Keys (for WinCC flexible 2005, for instance).
More information about how to use ProSave is available in the Online Help.
AuthorsW:
Note

You can use AuthorsW to install or uninstall existing authorizations for PC-based target devices.
You cannot use AuthorsW to transfer License Keys (for WinCC flexible 2005, for instance).
More information about how to use AuthorsW is available in the Online Help.
The transfer of License Keys to Windows CE-based target devices is ed as from version V2.1 (included in the delivery package of WinCC flexible 2005, for instance). If you use an older version of the Automation License Manager, such as the version in STEP 7 V5.1 SP2, you also have to install the WinCC flexible 2005 or ProSave software. You can ProSave in Entry ID 10347815.

2 How Do You Transfer Licenses?
Note
As from WinCC flexible 2005 (Compact, Standard, Advanced or Runtime for PC systems or an options package for WinCC flexible 2005), you receive the associated License Key upon purchase. When you transfer a license key to the hard drive or to an operator , it enables the relevant functions for permanent use without any restrictions. The new License Keys are used instead of the authorizations used previously. You can continue to use existing authorizations for WinCC flexible 2004 Runtime and Runtime options (Sm@rt-Access, for example) in WinCC flexible 2005. Exception: Operator s (other than PC-based operator s) that are only ed as from WinCC flexible 2005, such as OP 177B. If you possess a runtime license for a PC system for WinCC flexible 2004, this license can also run in WinCC flexible 2005. However, bear in mind that for legal reasons you have to use a new license for WinCC flexible 2005 or need to upgrade the WinCC flexible 2004 license to WinCC flexible 2005! Runtime options are not affected by this.
2.2
How Do You Transfer License Keys? The Automation License Manager provides the following options for transferring License Keys between different storage locations (computers, USB memory sticks, for instance): 1. Drag and drop 2. Cut and paste 3. Menu command "License Keys > Transfer" Note
Refer to Entry ID 19109408 for which transfer and connection options are available for the separate operator s.

6 Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
6.1
How Do You Repair a Defective License? A license is deemed to be defective in the following cases:
If the License Key can no longer be accessed in the storage location.
If the License Key disappears when being transferred to the target drive.
You can use the Automation License Manager to repair a defective License Key. For this, use the "Restore" function or the "Restore Wizard" of the Automation License Manager. You must get in touch with Customer if you want to restore a license. Note
6.2
The Runtime software runs perfectly even if the license is missing or defective. The system displays a message at short intervals informing you of the unlicensed mode.
Why is a License Invalid After Changing Time Zones? The installed license no longer functions if you switch from a time referred to a full hour to a time not referred to a full hour. Example: You switch the time zone from GMT +3:00 hours to GMT +3:30 hours. Remedy: Uninstall the License Key with a time zone setting that was set before you installed the License Key and reinstall the License Key with the new time zone setting.
6.3
Why are License Keys Not Recognized? In this case, the reason might be an upgrade license. You might have installed the License Key, but have not yet made an upgrade. Help on this topic is available under "Upgrading Licenses".
6.4
Where is the "Old" License Key Located after an Upgrade? If you want to upgrade an existing system, you can purchase an upgrade. When you make an upgrade, the existing Authorizations or License Keys are replaced by the new License Keys of the upgrade.
6.5
How Do You Retrieve a Lost License Key? You must make sure that you have the CoL in order to receive a new License Key. This is evidence that you are the owner of the license in the legal sense.

How Do You Transfer Licenses?
2.1
Which Software Is Needed? You need the following software for handling License Keys and Authorizations.
The Automation License Manager (for License Keys and Authorizations).
AuthorsW (predecessor of the Automation License Manager, only for Authorizations).
As from WinCC flexible 2005, the new License Keys are used instead of the authorizations used previously. These License Keys are organized with the Automation License Manager. The Automation License Manager offers greater comfort than AuthorsW and ProSave and many new functions. Here is a summary of the individual utilities and how they are used. Table 2-1

2 How Do You Transfer Licenses?
Note
As from WinCC flexible 2005 (Compact, Standard, Advanced or Runtime for PC systems or an options package for WinCC flexible 2005), you receive the associated License Key upon purchase. When you transfer a license key to the hard drive or to an operator , it enables the relevant functions for permanent use without any restrictions. The new License Keys are used instead of the authorizations used previously. You can continue to use existing authorizations for WinCC flexible 2004 Runtime and Runtime options (Sm@rt-Access, for example) in WinCC flexible 2005. Exception: Operator s (other than PC-based operator s) that are only ed as from WinCC flexible 2005, such as OP 177B. If you possess a runtime license for a PC system for WinCC flexible 2004, this license can also run in WinCC flexible 2005. However, bear in mind that for legal reasons you have to use a new license for WinCC flexible 2005 or need to upgrade the WinCC flexible 2004 license to WinCC flexible 2005! Runtime options are not affected by this.
2.2
How Do You Transfer License Keys? The Automation License Manager provides the following options for transferring License Keys between different storage locations (computers, USB memory sticks, for instance): 1. Drag and drop 2. Cut and paste 3. Menu command "License Keys > Transfer" Note
Refer to Entry ID 19109408 for which transfer and connection options are available for the separate operator s.

How Do You Repair a Defective License? A license is deemed to be defective in the following cases:
If the License Key can no longer be accessed in the storage location.
If the License Key disappears when being transferred to the target drive.
You can use the Automation License Manager to repair a defective License Key. For this, use the "Restore" function or the "Restore Wizard" of the Automation License Manager. You must get in touch with Customer if you want to restore a license. Note
6.2
The Runtime software runs perfectly even if the license is missing or defective. The system displays a message at short intervals informing you of the unlicensed mode.
Why is a License Invalid After Changing Time Zones? The installed license no longer functions if you switch from a time referred to a full hour to a time not referred to a full hour. Example: You switch the time zone from GMT +3:00 hours to GMT +3:30 hours. Remedy: Uninstall the License Key with a time zone setting that was set before you installed the License Key and reinstall the License Key with the new time zone setting.
