Hello,

I have installed Automation License Manager V6 + SP9 + Upd. 2 with Simatic Manager V5.7.
I have Step 7 professional combo V14 license working on Tia portal V14 and seen by License Manager with status OK installed on C drive.

When I run Simatic Manager V5.7 it says no valid license key found.

I tried reinstalling License Manager and Simatic Manager with different versions and updates.
I also tried moving license through USB Stick and try to reach it from there, same result.

Hope you will help me,

Best regards,
Paul

Hi,

V14 Combo License will only work with  STep 7 V5.4/5.5 or Professional 2006/2010.

You need Combo V17 license to use Step 7 V5.7.

 Hello Towome,

That was the issue.
After getting combo license V16 i was able to instal Step V5.6 and I believe as you say for simatic 5.7 i need license V17.

Thank you for fast answer.

Paul

Hi,

thank you for your feedback!

This information you will get in manual of TIA V17. Please check this link:

Licensing STEP 7 and WinCC

There is a chapter "Validity of license keys for older versions of STEP 7" and you will see all supported Step 7 Versions with license.

 Hello,

Thank you for such helpful information.
In link you posted and attachment i can't find step 7 v5.7 for Combo license V17.X.

Perhaps it's not updated yet?
Or am I missing something?

Regards,
Paul

Hi pfalinski2000,

yes your are right.

But if you look into the product note of Step 7 V5.7 you can read:

 

Note:

The license purchased for V5.6 or STEP 7 Professional 2017 can also be used for V5.7 or STEP 7 Professional 2021.

 Hello Towome,

That's correct, I've upgraded Step 7 to version 5.7 and it's working with V16 combo license.

Also I didn't knew that without combo license I can use older tia versions.

Thanks for your support,
Happy new year,

Paul
