WinCC OA Licensing

To operate WinCC OA licenses are required. The licenses can be handled by the customer. The WinCC OA licensing provides:

  • Dynamic and easily expandable licenses
  • You can manage licenses autonomously - you can order feature licenses individually (price lists are available)
  • Licenses are easily migrated (no hardware code necessary)
  • For the WinCC OA licensing options, see chapter WinCC OA Licensing Options
  • For more information, get in contact with your sales consultant.

For more information, see chapters Activation for how to activate a license, Overview for the description of the License Information panel used to activate, deactivate, update or re-host a license and Check License Information for checking license information via the CodeMeter WebAdmin web page.
