Assigning via Web License Manager
17.2.1
Execute assignment via direct access
Background
For the direct access, log on to a computer connected to the Internet (PC/PG) with the
delivery note and license number in the Web License Manager. All licenses of the delivery
note numbers entered at the login may then be assigned to a piece of hardware. After
completing the assignment process, the new License Key is displayed. This must then be
entered in the licensing dialog of the HMI components used.
Requirements
The following prerequisites must be met in order to assign a license to a piece of hardware
via direct access and HMI user interface:
●
The HMI component is connected with the control system (NCU) on which the license
should be assigned. Both components have been booted.
●
A computer (PC/PG) with Internet connection and browser is available.
●
The login data for the direct access (e.g. per CoL) are available:
–
license number
–
Delivery note number
Implementation
Assigning a license to a piece of hardware:
