Sap Import File Example License Dongle Is

If a TwinCAT 3 license dongle is used, this is the system to which the license dongle (for the activation process) is connected.

The system does not have to correspond to the final system for a license dongle.

Set the target system via the Choose Target System drop-down list in the TwinCAT XAE Base toolbar options of TwinCAT.

If you select Local, the license is created based on the data from your TwinCAT Engineering system.

TwinCAT 3 licenses for non-Beckhoff IPCs If you use an IPC from a manufacturer other than Beckhoff (TwinCAT 3 platform level 90), a TwinCAT 3 license dongle is always required for licensing TwinCAT 3.

Creating and checking a license list Open the TwinCAT 3 license manager by double-clicking on License in the SYSTEM subtree of your TwinCAT 3 project.

On the Order Information tab in the lower part of the screen, you can see a list of licenses that TwinCAT has automatically determined on the basis of your project.

If you have added licenses manually, these are also listed here.

On the Manage Licenses tab, manually change the list of licenses to be included in the License Request File.

If your licenses originate from two or more orders, you have to create a separate License Request File for each order (and the corresponding licenses).

You can check the checkbox Disable automatic detection of required licenses for project to disable automatic detection of the licenses required for the project and select or deselect each license individually.

If the checkbox is unchecked, you cannot deselect licenses required for the project.

If you first disable automatic detection of the licenses required for the project, manually add a license detected as required and then re-enable automatic detection, this license is listed twice in the License Request File.

The manually set license is added to the automatically determined license and does not replace it.

Specifying the license device The standard license device is a TwinCAT 3 license dongle.

In exceptional cases, the IPC hardware can be used as a licensing basis.

In this case, the TwinCAT 3 license is created for the selected, specific target system (target hardware) and cannot be used on other IPCs.

If the IPC licensed in this way is to be replaced, it is necessary to re-license the new IPC, as the licenses cannot be transferred or reused.

Using the TwinCAT 3 license dongles avoids this disadvantage.

In order to be able to use a license dongle as a License Device, it must be connected to the target system and configured in TwinCAT 3 (see also: Working with TwinCAT 3 license dongles ).

Update the dongle status to ensure that TwinCAT 3 Engineering also accesses the dongle currently connected to the system and that the data displayed in the system is not from the last dongle to which a connection was established.

For technical reasons (e.g.

EtherCAT not in OP mode) there is no permanent connection to a TwinCAT 3 license dongle (see also: Determining the current status of a license dongle ).

If at least one license dongle is configured, an additional License Device column is visible in the Order Information tab.
