3.5 Checking and entering licenses
Options requiring a license
The installed system software and the options activated on a SINUMERIK control system
require
that
the
licenses
purchased for this purpose are assigned to the hardware. In the course
of this assignment, a license key is generated from the license numbers of the system software,
the options, as well as the hardware serial number. A license database administered by
Siemens is accessed via the Internet for this purpose. Finally, the license information including
the license key is transferred to the hardware.
The license database can be accessed using the Web License Manager.
Web License Manager
By using the Web License Manager, you can assign licenses to hardware in a standard Web
browser. To conclude the assignment, the license key must be entered manually on the control
via the user interface.

Note
SINUMERIK software products
If a license key has not been activated or does not exist for a SINUMERIK software product,
alarm 8081 is output by the control and NC START cannot be executed.
Activating the test license
In order to use
an option without purchasing a license, you can activate the option for a limited
time using the test license. You require as a minimum access level 2 "Service" to activate the
option. The test license can be used for 150 hours, and can be used by the machine
manufacturer for commissioning and testing.
