Product Name SIMATIC HMI Software License

Core functions unlock specific advanced features of SIMATIC HMI software (such as data archiving, advanced alarm management, multilingual support, etc., specific functions need to be confirmed in conjunction with the supporting software version), without physical hardware, only providing authorization keys for function activation

The adaptation software series is mainly compatible with SIMATIC WinCC series HMI configuration software (such as WinCC Comfort, WinCC Advanced, WinCC Professional), and needs to be matched with specific software versions (the document does not specify the minimum version, it is recommended to refer to Siemens compatibility list)

Key authorization features and technical parameters

1. Authorization type and delivery form

The authorization adopts the form of "soft authorization", without physical media, and activates functions through digital keys. The specific characteristics are as follows:

Authorization Characteristics Specific Specifications

Authorization type: Single User License, limited to devices/software instances bound by authorization, does not support multi device sharing

Delivery form - electronic delivery: send the license key and activation guide via email;

-Optional physical carrier: In some scenarios, a USB encryption dongle (requires additional confirmation, not clearly marked in the document) is provided to store authorization information and prevent authorization loss

The activation method is through Siemens' official authorization management tool (such as Automation License Manager), and the authorization legality needs to be verified online (some scenarios support offline activation, and an offline activation file needs to be applied for)

Perpetual License, with no usage time limit after activation, is only supported by the software version lifecycle (if the supporting software stops maintenance, the authorization function may not be available in the new version)

2. Function unlocking range (typical, subject to actual software adaptation)

The document does not explicitly list all the functions unlocked by this authorization, but based on Siemens' similar HMI authorization logic, it is speculated that the core unlocking functions include:

Data archiving enhancement: Unlock high-capacity data archiving functions (such as long-term storage of historical process data, archive file compression and encryption), support archive data export (such as CSV, Excel format) for offline analysis;

Advanced alarm management: Expand alarm capacity (such as supporting tens of thousands of alarm records), increase alarm priority grading (such as emergency/important/general/prompt four levels), support alarm related process parameter traceability;

Multilingualism and Localization: Unlock over 32 project languages and 16 online running languages, support real-time language switching, and adapt to multi nationality workshop operation scenarios;

Remote access support: Allow remote monitoring of HMI interface through industrial Ethernet (with hardware network environment), support remote parameter modification and fault diagnosis, without on-site operation;

Script and custom logic: Open advanced script editing functions (such as VBScript, C script), allowing users to write custom control logic (such as complex process calculations, equipment linkage control), enhancing the flexibility of HMI systems.

Adaptation environment and compatibility

1. Hardware adaptation range

Authorization does not have independent hardware requirements and only relies on supporting HMI devices or computer hardware running software. Typical adaptation scenarios include:

SIMATIC HMI panels, such as Comfort Panel, Mobile Panel, and Tablet Panel, must ensure that the panel hardware supports the corresponding software version;

Industrial PC/Workstation: Industrial computers running WinCC series software must meet the minimum hardware configuration of the software (such as CPU, memory, hard disk space, refer to the requirements of the supporting software for details);

Virtualization environment: Some scenarios support activation in virtualization platforms such as VMware and Hyper-V. It is necessary to confirm authorization to support virtualization deployment (the document is not clear, please consult Siemens technical support).

2. Software version compatibility

Minimum compatible software version: The document does not clearly indicate it. It is recommended to use WinCC V13 or above (Siemens' mainstream HMI software version in recent years), as lower version software may not recognize this authorization;

Operating system compatibility: Supports Windows industrial version operating systems (such as Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows Server series), which must be consistent with the operating system requirements of the supporting WinCC software, and does not support home version Windows systems.
