Licensing

• SIMATIC CFC V8.2 is delivered with a floating license. The floating license allows installation of the software on any number of computers. This means one user per license can use the software independently of the computer used or from a specific workstation. The number of existing licenses determines the number of computers on which the software can be used simultaneously.
• An upgrade to version 8.2 is offered for users of the previous versions 8.x.
• For SIMATIC CFC, the Software Update Service is available with the Standard, Compact and Download types of delivery.

You can find more information on the Software Update Service, license types, online software delivery and handling your SW licenses with the Automation License Manager:
