13.6 Runtime licensing

13.6 Runtime licensing
A number of runtime options requiring licensing are available at the CPU and drive end for
the SIMATIC Drive Controller.
Licenses for the CPU
CPU applications that require a runtime license include:
• OPC UA
• ProDiag
• Energy Suite
Proceed as follows to license the CPU:
1. Double-click the device configuration of the CPU in the project tree. The device
configuration is opened in the device view.
2. Select the subordinate tab "General" in the "Properties" Inspector window.
3. Click the arrow next to the "Runtime licenses" section. The Runtime functions available for
licensing and their license requirements are displayed.
4. Confirm the purchase of the required licenses.
Note
Licenses must be purchased to use the functions in question. For details, see the licensing
terms for the given product.
If the CPU is sub-licensed, compilation of the CPU ends with license errors.
Licenses for the SINAMICS Integrated and S120 Control Units
Certain functionalities with the SINAMICS S120 drive system require licensing. The licensing
procedure for SINAMICS Integrated differs from the licensing procedure for SINAMICS S120
Control Units.
SINAMICS Integrated (in a process similar to that for runtime licenses for the CPU) is licensed
by Engineering by confirming the purchase of the licenses. SINAMICS S120 Control Units, on
the other hand, are licensed over the memory card. The memory card is generally ordered
pre-licensed for this purpose.
In the order, specify the type and number of licenses you wish in additional information (Z
options). Alternatively, you can also license the memory card with single licenses.
Note
Note the product cancellation/discontinuation of SINAMICS licenses in the delivery form "CoL
in paper form" and only use the delivery form "CoL in electronic form". You can find additional
details on the Internet (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ch/en/view/109812783).
