An Explorer window appears in which you can select the file to save.

Attention: In order to be able to save a License Response File in a TwinCAT 3 license dongle, the file name must be 32 characters long or less.

The current TwinCAT 3 version does not yet provide an overview of the files or licenses stored on the dongle or a function block for program-controlled saving of the file on the license dongle.
