Hello Tez013 Siemens ( In its immense wisdom ) has decided to remove the protool conversion option from WinCC Flexible 2008 SP3 No one know why the did it ... There are plenty of Protool HMIs still around in need of upgrade. You will need WinCC Flexible 2008 SP2 for converting Protool projects to WinCC Flexible. Hope this helps Cheers Navnag |

See this thread please: Hope this helps. Hello Ayman Elotaify Thanks for the links. I have gone through these links several times over, but still cannot find the Reason why the Protool option was removed from WinCC Flexible 2008 SP3 If 64-Bit OS was a problem, they could easily have disabled this option for installation in 64 bit OS, however it could have remained available if installed in 32 bit OS. As of now even if I install WinCC-Flexible 2008 SP3 in Windows-XP 32 bit the Protool option is still not available Just understand the plight of a new user who buys WinCC Flexible 2008 SP3 ( Because SP2 is not available for sale ) to convert an existing protool project. Even after spendning his money, he will still have to Beg, Borrow or Steal WinCC Flexible 2008 SP2 from someone else to do the conversion. The least Siemens can do is to provide the tool as an optional add on for 32 bit installations or as a stand alone tool .... . Contrary to what what many believe, there are still huge no of machines with Protool based HMIs running, and many of them come up for upgradation every day. I hope that someone is listening ... Hope this helps Cheers Navnag |

DearNavnag, The reason is as told before. Protool option removed because it can not operated on 64bit MS Windows. I do not think that Siemens like to make two versions of SP3 (One for operation on 32 bit and other for 64 bit OS). And they can not make only one version with Protool Option and tell you that it won't work on 64 bit MS Windows. By the way, I like to use SP2 and till now I use WinCC flexible SP2-Update 13. If you have a protool project and you would like to migrate, please contact your nearest system integrator to do it for you. That's only available solution I know if you do not have SP2 source. |

HelloAyman Elotaify
So that's it then ... convenience of the WinCC Flexible Package Development Group is more important than Convenience of the users It is not that SIEMENScannot make more than one version of the same program ... Just Check out : Automation License Manager (ALM), installation A check is made automatically before the installation as to whether your operating system is compatible. Then the version of ALM relevant for your operating system is installed (32-bit or 64-bit). You can also start one of the lower-level installation programs in the "ALM32" or "ALM64" folder. Example:
