Danielle Posts: 1275 Rating: (123)	Chris, To save the project with another name you'd need to run the Project Duplicator (on Simatic -> WinCC -> Tools). You're thinking of installing Redundancy to un-check it?

sonduskaisgod Posts: 33 Rating: (5)	Danielle, I was thinking if I installed it I would at least get the option to deselect it in start up, then remove it fully. Do you think if I opened the renamed one I could remove the redundancy from that then migrate that version to the machines with the license problems? What's the best way to remove it fully? -Chris

Danielle Posts: 1275 Rating: (123)	Chris, What happens when you open your project in an engineering station with the redundancy option installed? Is the option un-checked? If it is checked, then un-checking in should de-activate redundancy, and generating a new backup for your stations should probably work. If it is already un-checked, then you could try duplicating the project and then migrating it to your other stations. Tell me how that goes.. Hope it works. Best regards, Danielle

This stores information regarding client/server setup and redundancy settings so might be relevant. Just close the project, delete the file and open the project. The file is automatically recreated. More info on this procedure can be found at http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/16749678

sonduskaisgod Posts: 33 Rating: (5)	Thanks for all your help, all is well! I went back to the PC that I was copying the project from, disabled the Redundancy option then copied again. All License issues are now resolved. At least for now, I rebooted 3 times and left the project open over the weekend and no pop up messages.[:D] Thanks again, -Chris

Danielle Posts: 1275 Rating: (123)	Hi Chris, Glad to hear it's all working now! Apparently that box had been checked at some point, and the backup didn't really let go of it. I was starting to think you'd have to find a magic book to fix that one! [:P] If you run into further problems with that let us know... Best regards, Danielle
