Installing the Master License Key (MLK) on a CE HMI device 1Validity

MLK- Master License Key Some options for HMI devices with Windows CE are provided with license protection. As a rule License Keys are therefore installed on the HMI device that are queried by the software of the HMI device. The license query installed in the software is deactivated by means of a MLK (Master License Key). Instead, a customer-specific identifier is stored. When Runtime is started, the following is displayed in a splash screen: The customer-specific identifier The list of the installed options or MLKs The MLK is transferred using ProSave or WinCC flexible.
