Engineering Upgrade Package V7.1 to V8.2

SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering System with Engineering Software V7.1 can be upgraded in two steps, initially to V8.0 and then to V8.2. Depending on the starting point, one of the two following versions of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering Upgrade Package can be used:

• SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering Upgrade Package AS/OS, unlimited POs
  (without OS Runtime license for productive operation), for classic engineering station without limitation of engineering.
• SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering Upgrade Package AS/OS, 250 to 2 000 POs
  (with OS Runtime license for productive operation), for combined engineering/operator station in small applications

Any existing OS Runtime license is converted to a cumulative "Count Relevant License" during the upgrade from V7.1 to V8.0. The number of OS Runtime POs is retained.

The licenses included in the Engineering Upgrade Package V7.1 to V8.2 apply to the following software products:

• PCS 7 Engineering AS, OS, AS/OS (250 to 2 000 POs or unlimited POs)
• PCS 7 Import-Export Assistent

Advanced Engineering System Upgrade

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Engineering System Upgrade is offered as a separate product in addition to the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering Upgrade Package.

Since the SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Engineering System V8.0 (incl. service pack) can be used in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 as well as in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.1 and V8.2, this upgrade is only available for the upgrade from V7.1 to V8.0 (incl. SP1).
