Licence keys

Hello

I was wondering to know is there any way to check license keys are genuine or cracked? 

Hello,

Which software you need to check its licence? 

With the ("Automation License Manager") you can find out the license

 Hi ahmed alqubati

With the "Automation License Manager" you only can see installed keys, but it is not possible to check it is genuine or not.

I want to check the keys to be according to the copyrights and make sure they are not pirated.

Hello, Ryan01

Actually i think you can't do that, But you can get in touch with Technical Support if your license key or authorization is defective..https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/772175?dti=-1&lc=en-WW

do you think your vendor "sold" pirated keys to your company? - Then you should request the license certificates which are delivered with the keys from Siemens.

As Ahmed wrote, I too think that there is no tool to check the keys - either they work or they don't.

Hello Prof. Frink

Yes, I also think checking the certificates are the only way to check the genuinity of the licenses.

Hello,

if you start the License Manager and look for the License number and find a number like 00411000002018001024 this is a cracked license.

If the number starts with 10411 .... the license is original.
