Always the right license

Trial – a license to try us out

 

With a Trial license you can install the corresponding SIMATIC software product on one computer. After the first time you launch the program you can use it without restrictions for a limited time (e.g. 21 days), for testing and evaluation purposes – however it is not meant for production. We are not subject to liability of any kind for this type of license. Once the Trial license expires, the software cannot be relaunched till you download and apply a corresponding Floating or Single License key for the same version. There is no need to reinstall the software.

 

Rental – an extensive full-year trial

 

The Rental license allows the installation of SIMATIC software products on a single computer and remains fully valid for 365 days after the first start of the software. Once the Rental license has expired, the purchase of a full license will enable the further use of the software. The Rental license can only be purchased in combination with a S7-1500 Starter Kit
 

 

Single – ideal for single-location computers

 

Under a Single license, you can install and run SIMATIC software products, especially runtime versions like WinCC Runtime Advanced, without restrictions, on a single computer. The license, together with the software, is stored locally on the computer and cannot be transferred to other computers.

 

Floating – for maximum user flexibility

 

A Floating license allows you to install the software on as many computers as you like. For each license, one user can use the software no matter what computer they’re on, or where they’re working. The number of licenses determines the number of computers the software can be used on at one time. A Floating license has an indefinite run time, and with a current license key, it also lets you use older versions of the same software family (e.g. STEP 7 / WinCC in the TIA Portal).
