Licensing
14.6 CF Card and hardware serial numbers
Automation License Manager
Thus, the hardware serial number is always decisive during the transfer of license
information to a control system in Automation License Manager and not the set IP address of
the control system with which Automation License Manager is currently communicating.
Determining the hardware serial number
The hardware serial number is a permanent part of the CF Card. It is used to identify a
control system uniquely. The hardware serial number can be determined by:
• CoL (Certificate of License) (see note)
• SINUMERIK user interface, e.g., HMI Advanced
• Printing on the CF Card
• Display in the Automation License Manager as supplementary information for the
232
elements below:
– Control system file
– Control system (online)
– Control image (offline)
Note
Hardware serial number and CoL
The hardware serial number is located only on a CoL of the system software or if the
license was ordered bundled, in other words the system software came together with
options.
