License Key Not Available Wincc Logging For Runtime Advanced _hot_

Feature Request: Enhanced License Management and Logging

Given the context, here's a feature request that could potentially address your issue and provide more value to users:

5. Test with a Trial License First

Before purchasing expensive logging licenses, request a 21-day trial license from Siemens to confirm tag count and feature requirements. license key not available wincc logging for runtime advanced

1. No License Installed: You are running a trial version that has expired, or you never installed the 6AV2105-0xxx series license.
2. Wrong License Type: You own a WinCC Runtime Advanced license (for visualization) but forgot to purchase the "WinCC Runtime Advanced Logging" add-on license. These are sold separately.
3. Power Pack Limit Exceeded: Your license allows a certain number of "Power Tags" (logged variables). If you configured 200 tags but only have a 128-tag license, this error appears.
4. Floating License Issue: You are using a dongle (USB license) that is not properly detected or is being used on another computer on the network.

Step 6: Force a Full Reinitialization of Licensing

If all else fails:

• Logging license automatically includes Trend Control license
• Without Logging, trends still work in demo mode (limited to 15 minutes runtime)

• Download the "Automation License Manager Updater" from the Siemens support site.
• Run the tool, select your USB dongle, and click "Update Firmware."

• WinCC Logging is a separate license option for WinCC Advanced. It is not included in the base WinCC Advanced license.
• For precise error identification, search the Windows Event Viewer or TIA Portal log files for entries related to “ALM” or “License”.
