Installing the controller license

If you did not license the controller during commissioning, you either need to access the licensing server over the Internet or have downloaded the license from the server in advance. You may use Workbench or the web UI to install a license in a remote controller. This procedure documents installation using Workbench.If you didn’t license during commissioning.
Prerequisites: Your PC is connected to the controller and running Workbench. The PC is connected to the Internet, or you downloaded and have available the license file.
 NOTE: Initial licensing needs to be done with a platform connection because the station will not run until it is licensed.

  1. Connect to the controller platform and double-click the License Manager row in the Nav Container View.
    The License Manager view opens.
  2. Click the Import button under the Licenses pane.
