Hi friends,

I have loaded Simatic s7 v5.3 to my laptop to learn programming, and I have already got the simulator for it.

But the Simatic manager continuously gives the error that the license key is not valid.

How can I start the Simatic manager?

 

What does Automation License Manager report about the license?

 

it says license is not valid.

 

Obviously Siemens tech support or your local Siemens distributor is the best place to ask this question. They wrote the copy protection, they know best how to fix it when it's broken.

 

If you have transferred the license to your laptop and you receive the mentioned message, probably the license is not valid, you'd better to give the serial number of the license to Siemens Support Department to make sure that it is correct or original.
