3.6 Licensing
3.6.1 Licensing after replacing the system CompactFlash Card
Application
The license key of the SINUMERIK 828D is linked with the system CompactFlash Card. If
the system CompactFlash Card is replaced for a SINUMERIK 828D, the license key loses its
validity and the system is only ready with some significant restrictions.
This situation can occur for a defective hardware of the system CompactFlash Card.
Validity of the license key
The following data are required in order to obtain a valid license key after replacing the
system CompactFlash Card: The serial number of the defective and the new
CompactFlash Card.
Note
Only CompactFlash Cards can be used that were released as spare part as only these are
known to the license database.
In order to obtain a valid license key for the new CompactFlash Card, contact the
SINUMERIK Hotline specifying the serial numbers of the two CompactFlash Cards. The
hotline will immediately provide you with a new license key.
