Note:

The PO Upgrade licenses included in the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering Upgrade Package V6.x to V7.1 convert the POs of the CFC licenses counted in SIMATIC PCS 7 V6.x into AS Runtime licenses. Corresponding to the scope of the CFC license of your PCS 7 Engineering Software V6.x (250 POs, 1 000 POs, 2 000 POs, 3 000 POs, 5 000 POs or 8 500 POs), you have the identical number of AS Runtime POs in each case for AS Runtime operation following the upgrade to V7.1.

¹⁾ The SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering upgrade packages AS/OS V7.0 to V7.1, order no. 6ES7651-5AC17-0YH5 and 6ES7651-5AF17-0YH5, require that the licenses of the existing AS runtime POs have already been updated in accordance with SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0+SP1. If this requirement is not met, you can order a "License Upgrade Package" for upgrading your AS runtime PO using Order no. S79220-A9438-P:

AS Runtime POs corresponding with SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0+SP1 are also valid for SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.1. These AS Runtime POs can be used in SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.1 without a license upgrade.
