• Do not share license files – They are typically bound to one machine or dongle.
• Back up your .lic files – Store a copy in a secure location outside the target PC.

• Upgrading Wonderware version? – Old licenses (e.g., v10.0) do not work on new versions (e.g., v2023). Contact AVEVA for upgrade pricing.
• Legacy dongles – Some older hard keys require the Sentinel System Driver (not just CodeMeter).
