3.5 Checking and entering licenses
Use
The use of the installed system software and the options activated on a SINUMERIK control
system require that the licenses purchased for this purpose are assigned to the hardware. In
the course of this assignment, a license key is generated from the license numbers of the
system software, the options, as well as the hardware serial number. Here, a license
database administered by Siemens is accessed via the Internet. Finally, the license
information including the license key is transferred to the hardware.
The license database can be accessed using the Web License Manager.
Web License Manager
By using the Web License Manager, you can assign licenses to hardware in a standard Web
browser. To conclude the assignment, the license key must be entered manually on the
control via the user interface.

Note
SINUMERIK software products
If a license key has not been activated or does not exist for a SINUMERIK software product,
alarm 8081 is output by the control and NC START cannot be executed.
