Hi,

I hope someone tried this can clear my doubt. 

I bought a new S7 1500, preprogrammed with TIA V18. I have licensed V16 on my laptop and would want to modify program but could not, so I downloaded V19 Trial and installed.

Told my supplier to convert the program to V19 so I can update the program on S71500 using my V19 Trial? 

I want to know what the risks are involved especially trying to override a program written using licensed V18, using a trial version on V19.

This is the only option available to me as the supplier is on the other side of the world. Attempts to give them access via eWon was unsuccessful due to corporate security policies at my end. 

Thank you

SAO

Your idea sounds okay.

Why is it that you do not use the V18 of the software instead?

In the case that you already have V19 trial license active - Consider that the V19 (trial) license allow you to use any lower version of the software. Consider this option as to avoid the supplier needing to convert to another software version.

The risks may be minimal for changing V18 to V19 (terms and conditions apply), but are you open to fault find problems remotely with the supplier on an untested system?
