Overview

To use the SINAMICS S120 drive system and the activated options, you must assign the
purchased licenses to the hardware. When making this assignment, users receive a License
Key, which electronically links the relevant option with the hardware.
The License Key is an electronic license stamp that indicates that one or more software
licenses are owned.
Actual customer verification of the license for the software that is subject to license is called a
"Certificate of License" ("CoL").
Note
Refer to the order documentation (e.g. catalogs) for information on basic functions and
functions subject to license.
