Various license information
As indicated above, only the license information in the license database represents the
current status regarding a piece of hardware. Differences may arise between the license
information available for a piece of hardware and that of the license database due to:
• loading older archive data into the NCK (data restoration from a series-commissioning file
• assigning licenses to hardware without transferring the modified license information for
As a result, a more limited license requirement (possibly no license requirement) may be
displayed than indicated on the HMI user interface of the control system for a license

CF Card and hardware serial numbers

The CF Card (Compact Flash Card) contains, in addition to the system and user software
and the remanent system and user data, that data relevant for the license management of
SINUMERIK software products of a control system:
• Hardware serial number
• License information including the License Key
The CF Card thus represents the identity of a SINUMERIK control system. For this reason,
assigning licenses to a control system always occurs using the hardware serial number.
This has the advantage that the CF card can be slotted into a replacement NCU in the event
of failure and all data are retained.
