Execute assignment via customer login
Background
For the customer login, log on to a computer (PC/PG) connected to the Internet with the user
name and password in the Web License Manager. All licenses released for this user name in
the framework of the license management 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 customer login 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 customer login is available:
–
User name
–
Password
Implementation
Assigning a license to a piece of hardware:

the assignment for. The assignment of a license to a piece of hardware cannot be
reversed via the Web License Manager.
