Hello,

We have to upgrade a PCS7 system which has one ES/OS and one standalone OS and two AS (AS1, AS2). In ES/OS and OS there is one CP1613 for each PC installed. We have to get new hardware for ES/OS and OS.

What software and licenses do we need to upgrade from V6.0 SP2 HF1 to V9.0 SP1? Please find attached snaps of currently installed software in ES/OS.

Regards.

Hello meeda,

The minimum requirements of PCS 7 V9.0 SP1 can be found in the Readme of the PCS 7 under SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 PCS 7 Readme V9.0 including SP1 (online).

And for PCS 7 V6.0 to PCS 7 V9.0 are no Update/Upgrade Packages available, so you have to buy the licenses new.

Hello,

If there is no direct upgrade, then please tell which software and licenses are required for step by step upgrade?

Thanks.

Hello meeda,

the licenses topic isn't so easy, because if you want to update the project, you have to make intermediare steps. For example from PCS 7 V6.0 to V8.0 an library exchange by V7 is need.  And for theses steps you also need licenses.

The best way is to consult your local Siemens contact under https://www.automation.siemens.com/aspa_app/?lang=en.
