● License certificate (CoL) for the option of the CNC lock function
● Serial number of the CF card
● Serial number of the control system (PPU)
● Software version of the CNC software
Note
For more information about how to obtain the serial numbers of the CF card and of the control syste

The machine manufacturer or dealer receives from the Hotline the activation file to unlock the machine. The unlocking acts,

PLC project appropriate for the machine must be available.
Further information concerning the procedure can be obtained from the Siemens Hotline.
