SIMATIC BATCH Upgrade from V6.x to V7.1

The following two SIMATIC BATCH Upgrade Packages permit upgrading of the SIMATIC BATCH Software V6.x to V7.1 depending on the number of existing batch process objects (Batch POs):

SIMATIC BATCH Client Upgrade Package

The SIMATIC BATCH Client Upgrade Package contains upgrade licenses for:

• SIMATIC BATCH Recipe System
• SIMATIC BATCH Batch Planning
• SIMATIC BATCH BatchCC

SIMATIC BATCH Server Upgrade Package

The SIMATIC BATCH Server Upgrade Package contains upgrade licenses for

• SIMATIC BATCH Server (including all PO options and PowerPacks)
• SIMATIC BATCH Hierarchical Recipe
• SIMATIC BATCH ROP Library
• SIMATIC BATCH Separation Procedures/Formulas
• SIMATIC BATCH API

When upgrading, the existing Batch POs are converted into UNITs (instances of plant units). One UNIT corresponds to 15 Batch POs.

SIMATIC BATCH Upgrade from V7.0 to V7.1

You do not require any special upgrade packages for upgrading from SIMATIC BATCH V7.0 to V7.1. Since SIMATIC BATCH is completely integrated in SIMATIC PCS 7, the SIMATIC BATCH V7.1 software is available anyway with the SIMATIC PCS 7 Software Media Packages of the ES/OS upgrade packages.

In addition to the V7.1 licenses, the existing V7.0 licenses are also authorized for licensing of the SIMATIC BATCH V7.1 software.

The Certificate of License for SIMATIC BATCH V7.0 is also valid for SIMATIC BATCH V7.1.
