Find the Licenses Included with a PCS 7 V9.1 Product

For a PCS 7 V9.1 bundle, use Siemens' Licenses and configuration limits (V9.1) manual for license types and limits, then verify the included license keys against the exact product order number and delivery documentation. The manual explains licensing; it is not a complete, timeless bill of materials for every AS/OS Engineering bundle or software update service. Automation License Manager can inspect keys that were delivered or upgraded, but it does not by itself reconstruct every historical change in a license bundle.

Start with the V9.1 License Manual

Siemens' Licenses and configuration limits (V9.1) manual is the direct reference identified in the discussion. It describes PCS 7 license categories, configuration limits, and license management. Use the edition matching the installed release when identifying whether a requirement concerns engineering, runtime, OS, archive, batch, or another option.

Determine What a Product Bundle Includes

Record the exact PCS 7 product name, order number, purchased revision, and delivery date.
Check the matching Siemens PCS 7 catalog or product documentation for the bundle's bill of materials and included license keys.
For an OS Server update service upgrade, identify the specific service/order number and its contract terms; do not assume that every software update service adds or replaces the same runtime licenses.
Compare the included-key list with the keys actually supplied on the license medium or registered in Automation License Manager.
If the license history is unclear, provide the order numbers and key inventory to the Siemens sales/support channel for confirmation.

Use Automation License Manager as an Inventory Tool

Automation License Manager can show license keys currently available to the engineering or runtime stations. Siemens' licensing documentation also describes transferring keys between computers. This is useful to audit the present state, but a current key list alone may not show which bundle or update transaction originally supplied each key.

Track License Changes Across Upgrades

Maintain a license inventory across the plant lifecycle: product/order number, license type, station or AS allocation, key location, and upgrade transaction. This is especially important where license limits are based on process objects, OS server capacity, archive tags, or batch units. Do not infer that a software upgrade removes or adds a license unless the order-specific documentation confirms it.

Verification

Compare three records: the order-specific delivery/bill of materials, the relevant PCS 7 V9.1 license manual, and the live Automation License Manager inventory. Resolve any mismatch with Siemens using product and upgrade order numbers before moving keys or commissioning a station.

Limitations and Operational Precautions

The question does not provide the exact AS/OS Engineering product order number or the OS Server software update service contract. Therefore, this article cannot enumerate the exact keys included in those purchases. License transfer or reassignment can affect engineering and runtime availability; follow the Automation License Manager instructions and site change process.

Engineer FAQ

The manual explains license categories and limits; the exact license keys bundled with a purchase depend on its order number and delivery terms. Use the catalog and ALM inventory together.
