Greetings everybody!

Just bought my first S7-1212C starter kit today. The problem is the software that is V10.5 SP2 and does not support my 64bit windows.

I got this thing running via virtual pc with 32bit system but i would like to know how to upgrade this version to newer because this version seems unstable. 

My question is: How can i upgrade my software version to newest one (V13)? The download files that i found needed the original installation that I cannot install because of system incompatibility. 

Thank you for fast response :)

Order / purchase a newer version, like V11/V12/V13.  V11 SP2 is first release supposedly supporting 64-bit windows.  V13 SP1 is latest and it does support 64-bit windows.

Hello huggy,

 But if I have V10.5 (with floating license) and then I have all Upgrade till V13 (V11-V12-V13) can I install in new laptop W7 64bit directly?

Hi.

I think we should separate what it means to upgrade software
and what it means to upgrade a license.

You can make a clean installation of the demo / trial software of the newest version software and by adding a valid licence (of the same version), you have the full functioning package.

The Automation License Manager software is used to combine an older license with an upgrade license to make one new license.

That means there is no need to install the old software onto a new computer. The unfortunate situation (for V10.5) is that a V13 upgraded license (example) cannot be used to make the V10.5 software work.

Also note that the upgrade license for Step7 Basic V13 SP1 (6ES7822-0AA03-0YE5) upgrades V11 or V12 and not V10.5

..you may find out that buying Step7 Basic V13 SP1 as full package, will be better.
