Enable simulation capability
To use a STEP 7 project with simulation, you must select the "Support simulation during
block compilation" option in the "Protection" tab in the properties of the project and confirm
with OK.

Know-how protection
If a know-how-protected block is to be used for the simulation, it must be unlocked by
entering a password. Only through unlocking can the "Simulation with SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM
Advanced" option in the tab "General > Compilation" in the properties of the block be
activated.
Global libraries
You cannot use know-how protection with global libraries, because the libraries are write-
protected.
The "Simulation with SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced" option must be set when generating
the blocks (source of the blocks).
