In case of 'Installed license keys' selected there are possibiliti to expand My conputer tree, but there is not possible to see the dick drive. Only Floppy and C:, D:...(hard disk). Best regards, Hristo Mihalev I think this was the main cause, too. But anyway, you solved it.
	Have Fun! TomDeWou

ok2cw Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	Hi all, I have been having the same problem. Roughly every 14 days I have to reinstall Licence Manager. It is the fastest solution . I am using HP notebook Windows 7 64-bit, Wincc Flexible 2008 and Step7 v5.5 with the latest Service Packs. Bye

Ravians Posts: 1 Rating: (0)	Hello! I am facing the same issue for quite a while now. I have followed your mentioned steps but still it doesn't work for me. License manager shows just My Computer but not the C or any other drive. Kindly assist.
