Licenses and Licensing 3
Introduction
The WinCC software is protected and can only be used in its full measure with a valid
license. Each installed software and option used requires a valid license for unrestricted
operation of WinCC. You will receive a storage medium with all necessary license keys for
the installation of licenses. The licenses for optional packages must be ordered separately.
Licenses which are installed for use in WinCC are transferred from the storage medium to a
local drive and are unregistered on the storage medium. The cumulation of more than one
license per component subject to a license is possible only for archive licenses. Other
licenses cannot be cumulated.
Note
Furthermore, the licensee confirms that the software (SW) contains licensed software by
Microsoft Corporation or its subsidiaries. Thereby, licensee agrees to be bound by the terms
and conditions of the appended license agreement between Microsoft SQL Server and end
user, and to fulfill same.
Note
It is not allowed to run WinCC in process mode without a valid license.
Upgrade to WinCC V6
Following an upgrade of WinCC V5 to WinCC V6, only the V6 license is available. This
license is not recognized by WinCC V5.
If WinCC V5 is used as an alternative to WinCC V6, the user is authorized to create an
image of WinCC V5, including its license. However, both WinCC versions may only be used
as an alternative to each other. Any concurrent use of WinCC V6 and WinCC V5 represents
a violation of the license agreement.
Installation Notes
Software Installation Manual, 09/2007, Printout of the Online Help 9
Licenses and Licensing
Demo Mode
If a license is missing for one or several components, WinCC will run in demo mode. WinCC
also switches to demo mode when the maximum authorized number of process tags or
archive tags is exceeded in a project.
In Demo mode, you can use the WinCC software fully for a maximum of one hour. After this
period, the operation of WinCC violates the license agreements. After one hour, the WinCC
Explorer and the editors will be closed. In Runtime, the system will request the acquisition of
a valid license. This dialog will appear every 10 minutes.
Details on demo mode may be found in WinCC Information System under "Getting Started >
Licensing".
Installation of Licenses
Licenses may be installed during installation of WinCC or after the fact. Connect the storage
medium containing the WinCC licenses with your computer after the setup program prompts
you to install the licenses. All required licenses are automatically installed.
For installation of licenses after the fact, you may use the Automation License Manager. You
will find the Automation License Manager in the Windows start menu in the "SIMATIC"
program group. An after-the-fact installation of a license will take effect upon restart of
WinCC.
For the installation of licenses, the following requirements must be met:
● Administrator rights are required.
● The storage medium containing the licenses must not be write protected.
● For configuration purposes, RC licenses may be installed on a local drive but can also be
installed on a license server.
● Licenses may only be installed on a non-compressed drive.
Note
After uninstalling WinCC, the licenses remain installed on the system.
Upgrade Installation
You must upgrade the existing authorizations if you have received WinCC as upgrade from
V5.x to V6.2. The same is applicable to authorizations of communication drivers and WinCC
options.
The WinCC V5 licenses can then no longer be used after the upgrades.
In order to use the WinCC Web Navigator under WinCC V6.2 you need Version 6.2 of the
Web Navigator. Authorizations up to V6.1 used for the Web Navigator up until now can no
longer be used. A corresponding upgrade is required.

CAUTION
If you wish to work with a project in WinCC V6.2 which was created in WinCC V5.0 SP2 or
WinCC V5.1, please read the Chapter "Migration" in the WinCC Information System prior to
upgrading to WinCC V6.2.
CAUTION
Only uninstall Sybase after migrating the projects.
● Swapping data:
WinCC enables you to swap your data directly via the new WinCC database. The
Storage option is no longer necessary. As a result, the swapped-out data is available as a
database.
● dBASE III:
Direct access to the dBASE III databases is no longer possible. After migration of dBASE
databases, the data is managed by the SQL Server 2005.
Notes on Licensing
● Licensing of WinCC starting with version 6.0 differs from its predecessor versions. New
RT or CS licenses are required. If more than 512 archive tags have been configured in a
project, an additional license is required for archive tags.

7.2 Information on Migrating Projects
Windows DDE
The Windows DDE channel is included in the delivery since it is compatible to earlier WinCC
versions. New connections, however, should be established using the "OPC" channel.
An updated version of the Windows DDE channel is expected to be supplied with a later
version of WinCC.

Upgrading WinCC
7.3 How to Perform an Upgrade Installation
Note
If modified standard functions (ANSI-C) are used, make backup copies of the functions prior
to the upgrade installation. During the WinCC installation process, these functions are
overwritten by the standard functions supplied.
Certain channels which could be implemented up to WinCC V5.1 have been discarded from
the scope of delivery of WinCC V6.2.
Also pay attention to the notes in the WinCC Information System under "Migration".
Requirement
The hardware configuration on which WinCC V5.0 SP2 or V5.1 has been installed is also
sufficient for installing an upgrade to WinCC V6.2. However, there should be no significant
increase in data volume because otherwise the performance will get affected. If it is
expected that the data volume will increase, upgrade the hardware in good time.
Upgrade Preparation
Before performing an upgrade installation of WinCC, check the existing projects with regard
to special characters used in the archive names, archive tag names, trend names, trend
window names, column names and table window names. You will find a table with the
permitted special characters in the chapter "Working with WinCC" > "Working with Projects"
> "References".
It is possible that you must use Tag Logging in WinCC V5.0 SP2 or V5.1 to remove certain
special characters from the names.
VBA Code
The "@GLOBAL.PDT" file in the <WinCC-Installationsverzeichnis\Templates > directory
contains your global VBA extensions, for e.g. some menus.
If you install WinCC V6.2, the file "@GLOBAL.PDT" is automatically renamed to
"@GLOBAL.SAV" and replaced through a new file "@GLOBAL.PDT".
First delete the new file "@GLOBAL.PDT" and again rename the "@GLOBAL.SAV" for
accessing your VBA extensions after installing the upgrade.
CAUTION
When transferring archives, if they contain impermissible special characters, the Runtime
archive may be lost.
Note
Make a backup copy of your project before upgrading WinCC.

Upgrading WinCC
7.3 How to Perform an Upgrade Installation
Procedure
1. Prepare existing WinCC projects for migration. Check which communication drivers are
used and also check the names used for impermissible characters.
2. Install WinCC V6.2 as in "Executing Installation of WinCC". WinCC V5.0 SP2 or V5.1
need not be uninstalled for this purpose.
You need the storage medium which contains the licenses for WinCC V6.2. Upgraded
licenses for WinCC V5 will be lost.
